This was originally intended as blog designed so that Andy Norton, a postgraduate in Creative Digital Media, could discuss his influences whilst working on a comic for his Creative Portfolio Development module on that master’s degree. Now, the blog is intended to share articles relevant to his interests, as well as his artwork (past and present), as an experience graphic designer, with a background in illustration and animation.

Loomis Study- The Laugh
Another day, another stab at a Loomis head. The theory seems to be there, but I suppose it's when I start applying this theory into my own drawing that this will really sink in.

Loomis Study- The Smile
It has been 3 months since I studied from that Loomis book. So have I improved since the last time I did an exercise?
Probably... but I'll let you be the judge of that.

Crowd Ilustration
I have decided for my New Year's resolution to do more creative stuff, like drawing, film-making, performing, and so on. So here is, hopefully, one of the many drawings I will do over the course of the year.
It's an illustration depicting the hustle and the bustle of people in a small market town. I just wanted to do something out of the blue, rather then from a brief, or contest/challenge/art-jam. So I guess the illustration is a rough cluster of characters in a scene.

Exclusive Listen: Fifteen Bruce Springsteen Songs | Rolling Stone Music
Exclusive Listen: Fifteen Bruce Springsteen Songs | Rolling Stone Music
This sounds really promising, especially when you get past the first couple of tracks. I have been listening to it gradually for the past few day, and thought it could do with some spread of word... especially with the music press banging on about the stream of some posthumous material from a popular entertainer, hogging the stream music limelight.

I had some time to start doing some life drawing, whist waiting for another train. So I was able to do these quick sketches of others commuters.

Warner Archive to release the Censored Eleven

The shorts may raise eye-brows to a modern audience, but seeing some kind of consumer distribution for some of them comes as well-deserved news, particularly Clampett's much celebrated Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs.

It's Time To Get Laid
This is just damn catchy... so I know what tune is going to be stuck in my head for today.
