Quick composition study, and that's my course with the amazing Tom Fluharty complete!

Today's study is of the Whitehouse, practicing horizon lines, vanishing points, and 2 point perspectives.

Colour version of my night time scene I did for a Bobby Chiu competition.

I thought I would post some really old work, I did a few children's books back when I was still studying 3d Animation. It's really good practice to review old work and understand what you would have done differently. I can safely say there are a lot of things I would have done differently now which means I am moving forward with new ideas and techniques. So here are a quick collection of characters I did back in 2009.

Quick value study for Week 2 of Tom Fluharty's course with http://imaginismstudios.com/

Here I have used acrylics to practice some colour & light studies.

This week I am back in the swing of things and continuing my colour studies after a much needed Christmas break. These consist of various art to do rough studies from, some are photos, other artists work, or my own, this helps me practice colour & light and I do not use the colour picker.

This was from Nathan Fowkes class for Imaginism Studios, we were given an assignment to bring light to the render. You can find his work here http://nathanfowkes.blogspot.co.uk/

The theme was 'Night Time' for Bobby Chiu's competition, this is nearly ready to take to colour, so far I spent 1.5 days drafting and creating the value structure.

First assignment for Imaginism's Fundamentals course.

New to blogging, but thought it was time to upload some of my art. Being a full time artist  makes it difficult to find that extra time to practice, but as I have been told over and over, practice makes perfect! In my case it is the key way to improve your skill set and I will be posting as often as possible. Most of my daily colour roughs are created with my Stylus and HTC Mobile phone using the basic Sketchbook Pro. This is great to limit yourself and really think about how to methodically work on a painting, sometimes it can be challenging on the London underground tube!

Here are a collection of daily colour roughs-
