Deadpool







So this is a drawing I did of Deadpool which took about 5 minutes, this is because I wanted to focus more on improving my colouring and lighting on the character.






So this is the coloured version of the drawing. the lighting I have focused on is it hitting the top of his head and face, with light showing on his arms and legs where the beams of light would hit him.

Swampthing trial page - unfinished


This is the first draft of the sketch of a Swampthing page I was decided to draw one of the evenings in September. It has Swampthing's eyes looking out, with Arcane's mouth underneath with the a different shot of Swampthing with his back facing the reader holding the body of what will be Abigail. 



This is the the second stage of the drawing, Arcane is walking towards Swampthing. I am going to draw the background in next with dying trees next to Arcane and flowers growing around the body of Swampthing. 

I will get back to this drawing at a later date.

Computer Edits - Batman

This is the stages on how I turned my sketchbook drawing of Batman into a digitally edited picture on my computer. 


Sketchbook Drawing.


After the Drawing was transferred to my laptop I went over the outline of the drawing on my computer program.


I then added the basic colour scheme for the costume. I went for a mix between new 52 and a more armoured look which appears in the Arkham games.


I then did some basic shading on to the costume of the character to define where the light source was as well as the details of the suit.


I then added more shading and detail to the belt as well as the cape and cowl. 
( Please note that this is only the third piece of editing work I've done.)


I then decided the outfit needed to be defined a bit more so I went over my previous shading with a darker tone, using a air brush tool on the software I was using. I also added the bat symbol from the future batman vs superman film which I also shaded.


I then decided to do a rough background of a city scape behind him at night, with some smoke or fog rising from the city.

Computer Edits - Green Lantern



This is the first and completely unedited drawing of my Green Lantern image.


Now this is the new edited image of green lantern where I put a lot of detail onto the ring to show the energy flowing through the ring.

Random art for 2014


This random drawing was kind of an inspiration from having a talk to my friends about blind dates/meeting people online and then going on a date with them after and a thought went through my head of what if you met someone online and got on with them a lot and you thought to yourself, wow, this person is amazing! and you decide you want to go on a date with them, so you get yourself already for them to pick you up for your romantic evening, The door bell rings, you go to the door and POW! The person who has come to pick you up is a monster of mythical proportions. 

I didn't know what I wanted the monster to look like, so I just picked a bunch of animals which most people are scared of and combined them. 




This is the first sketch with a very basic edit on to the drawing, it's a work in progress. What do you think so far guys? 

Don't be afraid to comment.  

Computer Edits - Cows Do Cosplay - Silver Surfer .1


This is the first of my computer edited photos. I finally found a programme that was free on the app store to do some basic edits. As this is my first real attempt at editing one of my drawings on my computer, I still have a couple of issues that I need to improve on but little by little I am gonna get there!

Random Art - Bass Player.


I was listening to a lot of Blues and soul, So I decided to draw a bass player, mainly as I play bass and it just seemed to fit very well in my imagination.   

Pin-Up Girl .2

Pin-Up Girl 2


Ok this is the second sketch in my Pin-up Girls series. Tbh, I'm not 100% happy with it, I don't know why, I think Ive been looking at it for far too long. 

If anybody can tell me what that think, if you think there is something off with it or if it looks ok because I don't really wanna carry on with it if there is something wrong and I go past the point of changing it down the line. 

Pin-Up Girls .1

Pin-Up Girl Sketch 1


I thought for a change I would try drawing some new subject matters, so as I was watching TV I saw the advertisement on sky arts 1 programme about Dita Von Tesse and that's when I got the idea to do some classic drawings of Pin-Up Girls. So here is the first sketch of this new direction. More will come and they will have much higher quality, I just got excited and felt I needed to share this rough draft. 


Cows Do Cosplay .2

Cows Do Cosplay: The Silver Surfer!



 So here is another one of my Cows Do Cosplay, I decided to draw Silver Surfer Cow as I had my brand new sketch book and thought why not carry on this CDC idea on into the new year.
I started this new piece by looking at a number of Surfer images online, to find a positioning and scale which I thought would be interesting to try and replicate. I found a piece which I really liked and began by drawing out the figure of the Surfer and once I had the body on the paper as a rough sketch I then changed the head, hands and feet into that of a cow as well as adding the udders onto the abdomen instead of the shiny six pack the usual Surfer would have, however as we all know cows don't have six packs.



I then added some more detail on to the background, I wanted to add a bit of colour to the darkness of space, so I began with a layer of purple and then black over the purple starting gently and getting more heavy the further I went from the edge of the planets atmosphere. I then added the colour to the planet, I started with a rough filler of light green with more emphasis on the edge of the planet to try and show the distance of the Surfer from the planet. 


Once the colour had been completely added I decided to do some simple edits on the iPhoto app on my macbook. I changed the contrast levels and brightness to show more detail of the Cow Surfer. Once I have more professional programmes on my macbook, I will add more detail to this piece and try to make the lines of the background more crisp and detailed.
