Lifedrawing

Here is some life drawing I did the other week, not had a chance to upload it to now but I was really happy with the sessions I felt really productive after doing it. I used a calligraphy pen for the line work and coloured it with some Indian ink with quite a lot of water to give it some depth.

I tend to often get frustrated in life drawing and not structure my work and end up doing a lot of random splatters that can turn out well but I never feel satisfied with the work, where as this session I felt really happy and look forward to doing some more.

Thanks for stopping by.

Feel My Raygun

Lately I have been looking at old science-fiction and space opera,TV shows and films to go along with my current self-initiated project to create a sci-fi/fantasy graphic novel.

Finding bad science fiction becomes a lot easier when you hang out with sciffy, the science fiction and fantasy society at Edinburgh University and I go to a weekly B-Movies group as well at Jekyll and Hyde (Monday nights 7.30).

I looked at some image of ray guns and thought about the random skimpy outfits you get in series such as Buck Rodgers and also webcomics like I was kidnapped by lesbian pirates from outer space. Also thinking about films which incorporate sexuality like Barbarella and Rocky Horror Picture show. So I did this image very very quickly and soon I shall hopefully be uploading more interesting stuff and will put up some of the final imagery.
