Just a quick update!

So i've been practicing with my new wacom tablet for a few weeks now, and i'm starting to get the hang of it. Still, its very weird to look at the screen while drawing, rather than looking at the paper. Anyway, on one of my most recent posts, i put up a sketch that i did while i was away on holiday in the lake district. I thought instead of wasting this, i'd have a go at digitally inking and colouring it. It was heavily shaded so i toned down the pencil shading opting for inked lines instead. I inked the outline on adobe illustrator, then put it in photoshop for colouring. It took a long time but i was happy with the outcome. The idea behind the illustration was a girl looking up at rain and instead of it falling on her, she absorbs it into her skin. I thought the colours worked well together, and i tried to add a lot of detail with the highlights but got a bit lazy towards the end...
Anyway, here it is!

Magazine feature

One of my designs that i recently did was put in the Hexham local newspaper as an advertisement! Got to start somewhere!

What i've been up to

I haven't posted anything in a while, so i thought i'd do one big update of some things i've been working on recently!

And finally, this is a sketch i did while it was raining and i was trapped in my hotel in the lake district! I may finish it one day. Just bought myself a wacom tablet, so hopefully i'll be able to produce better quality illustrations once i get used to it!

another poster

Found it quite hard to do this one, as i couldn't really think of many ideas, and the website of the entertainer was very old fashioned, and to be honest looked terrible. I think i came up with a decent idea though, although i'd like to go back and work on the jacket more!

more posters

Yep, still at it...
not my best but was rushed for time
karaoke night poster

more freelance work

I have been extremely lucky to be able to work with Manors Day Care, with so many events coming up they need posters and it is great practice for me! Here are another 2 posters i have created, one for an elvis tribute act and another for a comedy night. The elvis one was fun to illustrate! Going to be buying a graphics tablet soon, so hopefully i'll be able to post better quality illustrations once i get the hang of it! Anyway, here are the 2 posters! 

another poster

Yep... another poster, running out of ideas! Had a lot of information to fit onto this one, so was a bit of a squeeze. Wanted it to look different to the other ones i have done, and i think i achieved that.
