Zombie Muffin

 

Looks edible to me...

I especially like how the razor blade came out. I would have liked to give the green icing a shiny texture but i wasnt really sure what i was doing at that point in time.

Stll Life - Pencil Sharpener

 

A somewhat better attempt at a still life but still lacking those really deep tones i so adore now, we all have to start somewhere and this was a big accomplishment for me at the time.

Tentacle and Diamond

 

Zebra print tentacle and massiff diamon ring, complete with pink suckers and skull bubbles, zoom for a good look at those bad boys.

Part of a tattoo i want to get when tattooing my neck isnt a life threateningly big deal.

Pen, colour pens, a little bit of pencil, tentacle fetish.

Artist Spotlight - Greg "Craola" Simkins


Now this guy is an absolute bastard, if i was actually good at art this is how i would draw.

Graffiti, ink work and acrylic, pretty much a master of all 3.

Still Life - Lemon Slice

 

A bolder approach to still life yet the tone in line is nonexistant here which gives a somewhat "comic" and flat effect. Still overall not too bad, at the very least its bolder.

Pencil and colour pencil.

3D Glasses

 

Some third dimensional glaziers to viddy a special devotchka maybe. A little bit of perspektive work, sadly the lines arent perfect. 3D glasses make me happy.

Pen and colour pen.

Still Life - Lemon



Terribly light touch on this one, its barely visible. Its all a learning curve and seeing stuff that i once thought was good turn bad is a sure sign of progress.

Pencil and colour pencil.

Still Life - Banana

 

Two halves of the same banana. I like how the bottom half came out. However, still suffering from my light touch complex.

Pencil and colour pencil.
Not my best.

Artist Spotlight - Josh Keyes


Now this guy completely blew me away when i first stumbled upon him out in the neto. He has been featured in Hi-Fructose and very recently in Juxtapoz.

He draws animals mostly in a strange surreal world that draws heavily on a subdued environmental commentary.

Just check him out, hes awesome.

Still Life - Apple

 

This one kinda speaks for itself. I had a little bit of a light touch while i was starting out on these still-life pictures, tonal balance is an ongoing battle.

Pencil and colour pencil.

Still Life - Walnut

 

This is a walnut... lol. The first of many still life pictures i used as practice for shape and shading. I learned a great deal from drawing these upcoming images and hopefully a gradual improvement is evident too.

Pencil with a touch of colour pencil.

More tattoo flash from the net, DeviantArt to be exact. They have some great art on there so go have a look around. My poetry account is there too at link so check that out if you feel inclined.

Pencil, colour pencil and pen.

This one started a little obsession with tentacles for me but who doesn't have a thing for tentacles right??

Pen and colour pencil, derwent ones usually.

More to come, click for bigness.

Light Yagami


This is a maniacal picture of Light Yagami from Deathnote... Yes deathnote...

Non-sensical japanese esque shapes i made up before i actually started learning japanese, yes its old and no i never did finish deathnote, it all became a little... you know.

Pencil.

Thats the last of the manganime for a while, relief ensues.

Had some disheartening news from UCA today so lets start with a real cheery gal!

Peacemaker Kurogane


Copied from the manga Peacemaker Kurogane. Not an amazing manga but i quite enjoyed it, otherwise why would i have copied this from it??

Pencil on the old A5.

Brain Doodle


This is a photo of a doodle i did in a time when i was not so much myself as i am myself now lol?

Its A3 so it wouldnt fit in my inadequate scanner...

Pencil.

Now that the doodles are out of the way we can move onto things that are less doodle-like in nature.

Kinging Chaos

 

I think this is the oldest picture i have done that is still in my posession... At the very least its the first crazy doodle thing i ever did.

I think the overall effect is good but in reality there isnt that much going on here, maybe im being self critical lol. Only one more doodle to go now.

Pencil, A4.

Doodle Addiction

 


I was a little addicted to doodling way back when, i guess the reason being is that i couldnt draw very well at this point. These always seemed to come out good so i suppose thats why i did so many lol. You wish this was the last one... In reality i only have another 2 to upload and they are much bigger O__O might have to change the format because BMP is massive... about 20Mb or so, thats a tad excessive for a doodle.

All done in pencil in my trusty A5 sketchbook.
