Art blogging


Since it's so easy to post here I thought I'd use the hassle-free opportunity to show off some of my more recent pictures. I've had to discontinue my life drawing sessions over the busy period at the office, but now it's died down I'll try to get back into it. It's amazing how much it helps your anatomy knowledge to draw from life. Unfortunately what it mostly teaches you is that reality never looks like what you've been taught in books. Sometimes you can draw something that you'd swear looks just like what's in front of you, and it just looks wrong. Perspective body drawings are the devil for this.

I love having the chance to work on my drawing at work, character art can be few and far between but it's always fun coming up with new designs. This was a character for a game idea that was thrown up some months ago which never came about. She's a disgruntled chain-smoking 50's houswife and she'll kick your arse.
