Moon Girl!

Hello 2015 (and everyone reading this post :] )! This little  piece is inspired by a genuine artist, who calls herself Soey Milk! I liked keeping it fairly flat looking

Life Drawing Awesomeness

Could not stop myself from sharing about it with you. If you're looking for a great Life Drawing Class, There is a really worth wile community in Bethnal Green! Well-equipped studio, pro models and even wide range of tea & biscuits  (and snacks!!) provided.  All for £6 per class. So great...

Some Sketch Work

I absolutely needed to post something, cause blog hasn't been updated for...a while. These are a few quick study drawings and sketches that I did recently.  I'm pretty happy with these cause the aim was to practice drawing  whilst on lunch break...

Sketchbook

I have to admit, summer isn’t my most productive time of the year. But I try to at least practice sketching. Here are some of the more loose and creative sketchbook pages.

On the other side of news, I have started a full time position at the Marketing Store Worldwide, London, as a Junior creative product (toy) designer, feeling very very blessed! (:]

72 % Water

Finally I got round illustrating an old idea ! I imagined a water creature walking out of the ocean.   72% water, he contains chemical X. The plotters behind contamination of waters intend to 'fix it' .

This time I concentrated on a clear line work. Gray-scale painting was my next step, to solve all the complex water and atmospheric rendering. After that, colouring in was simply fun :]

 

 

 

Sketchbook update

Character sketches from a short while ago. I am exploring some themes as well as drawing techniques. Some might recognise some use of alchemy.

Feels Like Summer

And here is a T-shirt Idea for it :

I attempted a moody drawing with 'Feels like summer' .  I've been watching the works of Loish, and can  sense the influence. Other than that,  I watch for mainly two things: good variety of colour values and shapely lines.

Some Recent Sketching

Days have turned into lovely ones to spend outside. And sketch! (:] These are only some quick ones. I'm getting into habbit of drawing over a lunch break or while waiting for a friend/a bus.

Unga-Jonga Street Girls

A little drawing with a nod to fashion illustration style .  I Have been exploring  Shoreditch, London lately. All the galleries,  markets,  vintage shops  in Brick Lane.  I guess that is where the inspiration comes from. It was fairly quick to finish this one because textures did a great portion of job for me. I referenced and used  Fabian Oefner's photography.

Life Drawing

20 min pose

55 min pose

2-5 min pose drawings

Tuesday's Life drawing classes are something to look forward to. Studio at Angel is always offering different yet interesting subjects to draw  . This time poses seemed to  suggest narratives and strong emotional state.

'I'm Thinking'

Busy week at work it was (which is good ) ! Time for little refreshment, both in style and theme. It is called 'I'm thinking'. An attempt to incorporate fashion illustration approach and visualise a feeling of being overwhelmed by thoughts .. in a good kind of way.

I was looking at fashion illustrators such as Molly Grad and Aitor Throup

Owl-cubes!

Flavoured Owl Ice-cubes! Just a random combination that popped in my head. A fun theme  and a little challenge there, to render a believable ice-cube looks. I hope they are still recognisable as cute little owl characters :] ( they go well with lemons! )

Here is a gif showing  how I've achieved stylised icy looks:

 

Life Drawing

40 min.

 Life Drawing at Angel, London. We had a really experienced male model. I enjoyed capturing  rather unfamiliar poses and avoiding an already learnt way of constructing them (which happens particularly with common poses).

Tattoo Design

Couple of days ago my friend asked me to design him a tattoo. A half devil half angel . With some development I've finished the line work guide for the tattoo artist to work out the shading and match the style with already existing work on his arm. My friend really liked it and he is going to have it done soon (:] I am honoured!

 

Shipmen Assistant

This is a sketch I had a while back. A little idea  was that in ship-building docks he is key assistant. Carries all the necessary tools, most importantly light. A job, I imagined, wouldn't need much qualification, so much like caretakers, a man could go into his elderly age still working it.

Progress of painting Shipmen Assistant.

Sketchbook Pages, 01 2013

These are some warm-up sketches. Some of them aid to revisit Baltic gods project. I hope to be developing some character designs  to 3D models.

Drawing Fresh: Airship

I continue on exploring some totally new fields to me. This time big fat thanks to Tom, for encouraging me to try totally new approach of drawing! I can't recall if I ever even tried drawing an airship too. It has been fantastic day!

Little Doodles

Little doodles. Funny enough not quick to do this time. Particularly the one with more facial expresion to him.

Sketchbook; November's first week, 2012



30 min sci-fi landscape sketch

To work on my visual library I drew these zoo animals from photo reference. Purposfully taking quite veried examples.

Later I did some  study drawings inspired character sketches

Illustrating Life Challenge: Caricature

Today I did something new, a caricature of Megan fox :]. This is thanks to Ruben and Ivana, who set up a page called Illustrating life. There will be two weekly challenges focusing around capturing life.

I drew this image over my lunch break, it took me something around an hour. It was honestly fun, because not ever did I even thought to try out drawing caricatures. They are great glamour busters! (:D (hence the choice of  oversexualised Megan Fox icon  ).
