Andy's Online Scrapbook
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.

Animator's Sketchclub Entry- Aquarious Character Design
I'll be honest, I've had a lot of computer trouble the past few weeks I'm glad I managed to produce just this turnaround for Raquel Eras ( get it?)
How I got here was a pleasant journey, from pencilling some initial designs to trying out a few things before finalising the final touches.

Script Out Loud Session- Doonamoan and The Eight Warbler Designs
I drew the first designs for Doonamoan, written by Fintan O'Higgins. I think I tried too hard with the pirate cliches to signfy them as a pirate family, rather than the fairy world that the main focus was going to be.
The following designs were more successful, being for The Eight Warbler, written by Hannah Rose Smith. I felt comfortable sharing those drawings with the rest of the pros this evening, and the director even liked my approach to those bus passengers.

90 Minute Art Challenge- Baby Yoda
Seen The Mandolorian? Neither have I! Well, here's Baby Yoda for you, courtesy of the 90 Minute Art Challenge Study Group over on the Lightbox Discord. As it was on Magma, I save the progression of this piece.
I should've noticed that the head was too small to begin with, but I think I did well on this piece. I think I got a mention from someone during the Discord chat, which was a pleasant surprise.
