Work in progress screenie

A screenshot of my WIP in FreeHand. The first illustration I can remember doing that shows the shoes!!

Decluttering

It's been a while since I've posted any new stuff, but I've been busy decluttering! That means throwing out all my old work-in-progress sketches & prints. Looking back on the colour options I did for my Frankettes illo. Ah the memories!

Sharpie work-in-progress

Just starting to draw on my heels with a gold Sharpie for the 'Anything But Paper' challenge. Been listening to Bruno Mars' new album, which makes a perfect soundtrack to this. I'm usually a digital gal, so I've got my b&w 'Transition' illustration nearby for inspiration, as I drew that with permanent markers.

So far so good! Hope I don't slip and mess up, as there is no 'undo' button in real life!

Typographic Madness

A work-in-progress photo of the latest project I working on as part of my Jump Mentorship. Typographic! And I have my fave lettering reference that is The Lettering Book by Noelene Morris.

Lower Dens poster

Here is the second project I have completed as part of my Jump mentorship. My brief was to design a poster for the band Lower Dens with a focus on abstract imagery. I usually like to draw people, so this was a great project for me to focus on typography and textures. Creating the 3D typography was much easier than I thought it would be - all I can say is that the 3D tool in Illustrator is the boss!

My original sketch and rough composition

Poster sneak peek

Here is a peek at the latest project that I am working on as part of my Jump Mentorship.

The eyes have it

A screenshot of the current illustration I'm working on. I always start with the eyes as they are the most important feature of a person's face.

Although it's tempting to just draw one eye and then flip it round to create the second eye, I don't because the human face is never perfectly symmetrical and small differences in the eyebrows can show different emotions. When the eyes look good, I feel happy that the rest of the illustration will turn out alright  :)

Sneaky peek

A work-in-progress screenshot of what I'm currently working on. A bit different to my usual style, as there's no outlines and all the shapes are rather jagged.

Work in progress

Just a little screenshot showing my progress of my latest illustration. Working with FreeHand MX. I actually got rid of the black tooth after this as it was bothering me.
