MOVING!!

My blog is now moving to Tumblr! If you still want to follow my work, please follow me on Tumblr instead! I am HERE!

A trip to London

 

A few photos taken on a trip to London, at the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Since I can't draw at the moment, I took photos instead.

More edits

  

 Here's another re-edit of an older piece. I actually did this one a while back, when I updated my website design, but it seems I forgot to post it and as I can't do a lot of new drawing at the moment, this seemed like as good a time as any.

Aphrodite (mark 2)

 

 A reworking of my original Aphrodite image. I decided that, being a Greek goddess, she ought to look more Greek (after realizing I've fallen fowl of the ingrained habit of drawing people that look like you: in my case white and blonde!), that the patterns and textures needed toning down a bit and that the face needed reworking. Hope you like the new version!

Dove Studies

Since I've not been able to do any new drawing due to soft tissue damage in my left wrist and hand, I decided to scan and alter some dove studies from when I was working on the wedding invitation image. This has allowed me to do something vaguely creative right-handed and therefore not go insane with boredom! Here they are:

Misfortune

Unfortunately I have recently suffered soft tissue damage to my left hand. This is why I have not produced any new work lately and why I will be unlikely to be able to do so for a couple of weeks yet. :( Injuring my drawing hand is VERY inconvenient! I may try a few wrong-handed drawing exercises, but otherwise I'm out of commission for a little while.
I hope to supply the internet with new work as soon as I'm recovered (and have finished decorating my new flat!)

Darling Doves for July 2013

This is the finished wedding invitation design for my Mum and her fiance. It's taken me much longer to finish these images than normal due to a lack of free time recently, resulting from my now working two part-time jobs in Cambridge but commuting from Ipswich until I can get a flat. All the traveling doesn't really leave much time to be creative unfortunately.
The colour scheme for the wedding is red and purple and so there are two slightly different colour schemes to the invitation design. I'm going to start work on the typography for the inside now as well.
