Transposition

The little seal in the bottom right is from a stamp I bought at a 100 yen shop while I was in Japan. It cost uh, 105 yen. Anyway, I was very happy to find it!

Simple Self Portrait

Posted on January 8, 2011 Leave a Comment

I was inspired after attending the ACSA’s 2010 graduate exhibition. Today was the last day of the exhibition so I was glad to catch the show before it ended.

Since I’ve been dabbling in watercolours lately, the watercolour portraits by Ruby Chew were really awesome to see. When I’d caught glimpses of the graduates putting up their work I had no idea that there would be her 52 marvellous mini portraits included alongside her large canvas paintings.

With Ruby’s works fresh in my mind I thought about restricting my palette to just the three primary colours to depict myself. I’m no master in watercolours or portraiture, but this was a fun exercise that I’ll probably try out some more over the weekend.

The Cutting Room Floor

Posted on November 19, 2010 Leave a Comment

Yesterday I completed the more-difficult-than-expected task of selecting a number of images to feature in my portfolio. I set a limit of ten images and tried to gather a set of images that gave a rounded representation of what I can do.

While trawling through work recent and old, I found a number of pictures that never got the chance to see the light of day. Here’s a few that I rather like.

There’s plenty more! When I started this blog I had an idea of diving into old work to examine what I’ve been doing in the past. Maybe this is the start of bringing that idea to life.

It's coming together now!

This was why I was redrawing the image with pencils – it’s going to be a watercolour painting. Here’s most of the flat colours down and some areas in a near complete state – I will probably leave those until the image is closer to completion. Uncompleted bits include most of the purples and pinks. These will get deepened with progressive layers of pigment. I’ve also yet to start trying to detail her face.

It’s kind of interesting to note that when I work digitally I feel as though I should start the image with some pencil scratchings to get into the groove. Similarly, when I want to do a painting or drawing I often want to play around digitally to get a feel for the image. Really I think it’s all about finding a happy medium 🙂

Pretty much complete, will probably do some tweaking and fix up the foliage on the side.

Quack!

Character development and design:

EDIT: Very first draft added.

First Draft

The first draft - all I had in mind was the pose

Final Pencil Sketch

"Huh?"

Colour Test

Basic colour decisions - lots of pink!

I wanted to make her a blonde bimbo but apparently being cliche is dull.

As thoughtful as can be

Lots of charm, not so much going on upstairs...

Missing one image here actually, I’ll edit it in later if I can find it.

Resignation

Posted on August 26, 2010 1 Comment

Despite the title, this is a post to announce I’m going to attempt to update more frequently.

Committing myself to a long pretentious post to blab about my mostly mediocre art often feels too troublesome to feel worth posting at all. So hey, I’ll just stick up WIP stuff and scraps without any explanations! Whoo.

Feel free to comment and ask stuff, readers. I mean, Tom. Maybe now I’ll only blab on about things you want to know about.

Cliffs and Sky

The cliffs and skies - I practise these often
