Days 8 to 14- Artober 2021 (Teddy Bear to Pink Panther)

 Yeah, I didn't plan to post all of these together, but I've had a lot going on during this week, so here we go...

Yeah, this is just a fun sketch of some teddy bear character. I might revisit this. 

On this day, I was watching a live stream of someone playing a ToeJam and Earl game, and one of the enemies was an opera singer. So here's my attempt at this character from memory.

Got inspired to draw this character from an old friend's batch of photographs taken when they were shopping for pumpkins. I quite like this character. 

Yeah, I didn't have that many art materials when I was doing this piece, hence using a highlighter rather than my trusty brush pens to draw out these characters. They make a good duo. 

Another day, and another live stream, this time they were playing that Nickeloden All-Star Brawl video game. So here's CatDog from memory. Not too bad. 

Yay! I had my brush pens back in reachable distance, so I drew this character based on a speaker I tried to watch via Zoom on Monday, which explains some of the details on this one. 

As being a fan of the Pink Panther character since I was a kid, I've never really drawn them before. This was very poignant with the passing of David H Patie doing the rounds on my Facebook feed that day. I like how this came out in the end. 

Artober 2020- Days 9 to 11- Create Your Own Universe Excercises

 I was on holiday during those, but I managed to start work on Part Four of this Brothers McLeod book.

This included doing an imaginary map, but I was kind of inspired what I was doing on holiday at the time. The other two are characters I created back in Day 6 and Day 8 sitting on chairs, as this was important for character development into what kind of seating would they be used to. 

Inktober- Day 10- Trigger Word Sketches

I thought whilst it was Inktober, I'll try and sort out how to model my next trigger word, being the word 'front' meaning "the part or side that comes first or is the most important". My initial idea was involving having a wheel missing at the front of a cleaning machine, but I decided for a more simpler idea of me noticing a stain on the front of my t-shirt - something I know too well of! 

Mr BoJo Tackles Brexit- Satirical Cartoon Strip

I was inspired by a conversation I had with a friend this afternoon after a weird dream in which they conjured up a cross between Mr Blobby and our current prime minister Boris Johnson. It's simple, and a bit stupid, but I guess it works well. It's been fun to do as I haven't done any kind of illustrative work in ages, so it was good to get back into that vibe of doing such work. 

Inktober- Day 10- Sketches for Page Layout

Like the previous post, I had to censor a good portion of it, but I can show the illustrations as this is an excercise to get me some potential graphic design work.

Abingdon Torch Rally- July 10th 2012

As I have been getting into the Olympics spirit, I decided to upload a few photographs of the event. This was the event that happened in Abingdon. I will be getting around to uploading the images from yesterday's event at South Park in Oxford soon.
