Here’s the fully shaded colour of Aena for the pop idol piece: I have since added shading to the flower arrangement on the bow, they won’t be quite so flat in the final. I have also been working on the background behind the scenes, but I’m going to wait a while before I share that.…
Here’s some progress from a piece I’ve been working on recently. I’ve been trying to come up with an idea of what Aena’s Hallowe’en costume should be this year. A 1980’s inspired pop idol sounded like a fun experiment. I was thinking a little about Jem and the Holograms when I was drawing this, and…
This is the new background image for my Twitter profile page. I kept this pretty simple in the digital stage. There’s shading, but I didn’t really add many details to the hair. Total time was about three and a half hours. I kept the colouring in shades of brown, but it sometimes gets a more…
I posted the pencil for this drawing a while back, in this post. Here’s the inked linework, created in Illustrator CS3: I’m creating another tutorial with this image, and will be posting excerpts here when it’s complete. Hope you like the image so far 🙂
This is my vector of the three boys when they’re introduced on page 23 (which is in progress). The panel is a crop of this art, and a fair bit smaller. From left to right are Suko, Xico, and Mazai. I kept their jacket designs pretty simple, but noticeably different from one another. Xico’s jacket…
Another image for my Alice Project. The coloured background is for online display only. The book will have a black and white interior. This is when Alice is leading the animals ashore (and not mentioning that it’s her pool of tears they’re swimming in). I’ll probably crop this for the book. Illustrator CS3, 3 hours,…
As I mentioned recently, I’ve been working on an image of Alice looking into the garden for my Alice Project. You can see Alice alone in my “Alice Looking In” art post. Here’s the composite image with the garden (click the image to enlarge): My timer wasn’t on while I drew the garden, but I…
I’ve just finished this illustration of Alice, this time creating black and white as well as colour versions. You can see the progress below from sketch to greyscale digital, to colour digital. I made some changes to Alice’s hair for the digital, for consistency with my character design. I also added teeth in the digital.…
I’ve been working on and off on a personal project for a while that I’ve been referring to as “The Alice Project.” It’s a short booklet featuring excerpts from Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland accompanied by my original illustrations. The interior pages will be black and white, and I’m planning for a colour cover.…
I’ve finished another Green Corner special. This one features Aena in human form, lying on a chaise lounge. Photo reference was used for the chaise. Illustrator CS3, about 9 hours. And here’s a close-up to see some of the detail (click the image to enlarge):I modified my colouring method a little for this image. The…
