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 9- Life Drawing and Script Doodles

Wednesday was another busy day with another thing on in the evening. Luckily, I managed to do a slightly more convincing quick life drawing of this figure on the bus, as well as do some doodling during my meeting. One of those figures doodled reminds of that footman from Jan Svankmajer's Alice.

Inktober- Day 9- Illustration Brief Sketch

I had to revisit a professional brief for a long term project. Because this is a live project, I have decided to censor their faces, and dialogue to avoid spoiling the finalised piece for the client.

I needed to revisit the initial sketch that the client produced. I need to produced another sketch using the correct dimensions before I start drawing it on a large scale.

Oxford Torch Relay- July 9th 2012

Here are a selection of photographs taken during the Torch Relay in Oxford. A lot of the festivities were happening in South Park within the city, which was only for city residents- so luckily some 'local' friends had some spare tickets to let me in.
