Illustration Friday - Clutter

Can I hear you mutter clutter? I dunno this picture was fun to do and concerned some happy accidents and messy fingers. The ink splatters in the background was a sheet I was using to mix ink on and it, and though i was cluttered with colour I decided echoing the word might be nice.

I shall be start University again soon and I am looking forward. Over the summer I did some work to hand in and then started enjoying myself doing role-playing, board games and lan parties. I have started flicking about with some new ideas and I hope to find away to make it flourish and so I can be used in a personal future projects.

Overall I feel bright and shiny and looking forward to getting back to Edinburgh.

Look a post!

Yes my blog has been somewhat neglected lately. I have been spending my time tidying, vaguely doing essay word and eating Ben and Jerry's.

This is a piece we did for Jonathan Gibbs the head of the illustration course. I thought I'd add a bit of colour to my blog.

We were given two articles one was an review of a book about bears and one of about magic shows. We could choose which was going to be an editorial illustration and which was going to be a book of observational drawings. I really enjoyed it as I produced tons of work for it and felt that it turned out OK at the end.

It's entering the summer time now and I can feel it the weather is warm and I hope to do some more illustration Friday entries, research and general prep for next year as I have passed all my assessments, yay!

I hope your all well, if you reading this please tell me what you going to getting up to over the summer. Thanks and I hope your all well this lovely day.

Illustration Friday Entry - Wrinkles

Here is my entry for Illustration Friday this week it was enjoyable but ended up with me spending a lot of money and the Elephant House again. Oh well, I saw a couple of ladies talking and they spoke in whispers and "bitchy" from what I could tell. So I did an ad-lib of sorts. I hope you enjoy this, I most certainly enjoyed doing it. I may upload some of the other sketches soon as there are quite a few I'm quite happy with.


I had been doing lots of just black drawings some with a fine liner and some with a dip pen, this was fine liner. I hasn't used any colour really so far so I decided to test it on a throw away sketch I did earlier on and then I applied it carefully to these drawings. The ladies weren't really this horrific looking but I extenuated and added the words to make it look like it could either be a thought of one of them or them talking amoungst each other.

Thanks for visiting any feedback would be appreciated!
