Graphite and feathers...

A few more sketches I've been working on at the moment....
A little graphite view of the Glasgow skyline. My crane tower is a little wobbly but I drew this very late at night and my mind was wobbly! Very fitting grey colour for Glasgow...
I'm reading a book at the moment in which the main female character during puberty actually develops a pair of wings. I've not finished the book yet, but so far its been her account of learning how to use them, her first steps into flight and how her wings grow as she does. It inspired me to draw this lady here...
I'm really drawn to stories that are set in the real world with real people but have this little element of fantasy. Don't get me wrong, I love watching and reading about fully fantastical worlds with creatures upon creatures.

I dont know, I guess I just really like the idea that one of these extraordinary characters could exsist in our world.

Sketches galore...

Since I really enjoyed last month drawing challange, I decided to do another. Its a good way of forcing myself to get the sketchbok out and do some new work. Here are a few I've done so far...

a self portrait.. my favourite animal ( i like to think the flying squirrel is my spirit animal- they're awesome!) ... my favourite food (chocoholic)...

Biro Bugs

I had a pretty busy weekend so here are my catch up bugs.

Some sketchin.....

While I'm looking for work at the moment, I've been trying to keep busy and do some sketching.
My sketch of choice- pin up girls.
They're kinda strange to draw, quite un-natural, tiny waists, big boobs and hips. They're also pretty muscly legs and really toned. So it was pretty different from drawing a life model! I did this pirate one as a bit of a joke as my aerial group are doing a performance soon at the Mela festival and our theme this year is pirates. (last year was superheroes!)

In other news, my friend Rich sent me a message with a link to a review of the short film Paperskin I art directed last year. My name even gets a mention- amazin! Check it out.... http://thelostpenguin.wordpress.com/2010/07/03/rsamd-graduate-film-screening/
