One Life, One Chance

Occasionally it's nice to draw things completely by hand again.

Love Is Blind - Work In Progress

Another sneak peak at a work in progress. Regular readers may recognise this one, it's a piece I did almost a year ago that I always wanted to do something else with but wasn't quite sure what. And after 'Dead Girls Don't Cry' the idea pretty much slapped me in the face. 

Nowhere near finished. Just about done working on the skin.

December 20th 2010: Always Looking Anchored

Tight.

I think I've pretty much got this style down now. I love this one. I think the torso definitely makes it more interesting. Got the shading sorted. Tattoos look cool, adding an extra element, the hats bringing in some good qualities. Simple face with a bit of shading. The "Stumble" thing is becoming a theme. It's just an interesting word I like and I'm considering making a t-shirt company called Stumble so these would be some good designs. I think if it goes ahead this may well be the first desin I get printed. Purely because I want this on a t-shirt.

December 9th 2010: Yum/Yuck

My nod to Sarah Beetson. If you haven't heard of her go look. This piece is about the thin, thin line between love and hate and indecision. How one can easily become the other if you're not careful and such like. Pretty pleased with this. It took a while of adding different elements into corners and a lot of thinking about colours until I was happy with the composition. Really like the woman. Block black with a couple of areas of white with line details is definitely the new way forward. Made with paper bag, 03 drawing pen, brush pen and good, old fashioned, trusty coloured pencils.
