By popular demand (I think three people have asked) here are a couple of pages from the sketchbook. These are just done with a B or 2B pencil, nothin’ fancy.

Jungle Booty
This one’s on the portfolio site, but I thought I’d show you a simple process; from sketch to colour.
I drew this for my own pleasure, mainly to test out a new dip pen. I used the Gillott 303 & 404 and also a sable #2 brush, with india ink. Colour was added digitally in Photoshop.

Snow Trite
Sigh… so I finally succumbed and got a blog. My portfolio site is pretty limited, so I wanted somewhere to chuck up all the rest of the things I’ve been working on. Also, I’d like to give back to the community and do some tutorials at some stage.
Here is a personal piece I just completed. It is a digital painting (Photoshop) and I made things a little hard for myself by only painting on one layer. Ok, sometimes I added a quick layer on linear or multiply mode, but I would quickly merge down. And I limited the brushes to only hard brushes – no airbrush.
This was all a bad idea, and ended up taking me a lot longer than it should have. Next time I use layers and masks!
