Shot of Onto Trigger Word

Shot of Putting Drinks Onto Table
Shot of Friends at Cafe

Shot of Talking Friend

Shot of Friends in Conversation


I managed to have time to make another trigger word after managing to complete my model of Off recently. This one is about the word 'Onto', meaning to "to a position on". So as I tend to pay for a drink with my friends, I modelled one of my friends getting a drink from me at a cafe. So, the action of putting those drinks on the table at this cafe was a related example for me to illustrate the word 'onto'.
I took a shot of the model with the arrows in the shot to illustrate the drinks literally going onto the table. I managed to zoom in a bit to avoid those arrows and I liked the outcome of it. I was very pleased with the outcome of the friend model in conversation after we got our drinks, hence the portrait shot of them. I managed to zoom out to get some context of that cafe scene too.

Trigger Word- Off

Full shot of Trigger Word for Off
Model of Figure Feeling Hot


Close-up of Cool Figure

Shot with Two Figures
It has been a while since I've done a trigger word, based on the Davis Dyselxia Association technique. The word is 'Off', meaning "not on; away or down from". So I went for myself taking off my fleece because I felt hot, hence the big arrow pointing to where the coat has gone on the far right of the full shot of the model.
I took several other shots too to capture the figures in much detail. My favourite being the with the two figures, featuring myself in the fleece, with the thought bubble's figure in the background.

Ric Ocasek Fan Art- Ink and Pencil Sketch


I got inspired by Stephen Silver's recent post about drawing from the screen rather than from still photos to create this tribute fan art to The Cars' musician Ric Ocasek. I got inspiration from watching his presence in the official music video for Magic. I gave him shades, like from his live footage,  because I wasn't too confident with sketching some eyes for Ric. I think I'll leave it like this as I like the loose pencilling and inking on this. I will definitely need to get back into doing more drawing again.
