Ice Bucket Challenge: Response!

I know this is not artwork or animation but in order for me to post my ALS Ice bucket challenge response onto facebook, I thought I'd use my blog!!! Good thinking as facebook was not having any of it? Something to do with "parameters being bad" or something!?
I'm wearing a West Ham shirt and shorts because an alarming picture of my Niece in an Arsenal kit was posted on said site!! Also I was nominated to take part in the Ice bucket challenge by my Niece!! So I in turn nominated my friends, Harvey King, Darren Houseden and Darren Swain, who now have 24 hrs to complete the challenge!

Gift For Teacher

Pencil Drawing

I thought it was about time I worked on my drawing techniques! The image is loosely based on a character from BBC drama series, The Musketeers, one of the many attractive ladies amongst the cast whose name is Constance in the show. I have spent many hours drawing and re-drawing that my desk is covered in eraser shavings! I particularly wanted to practice my shading and found that by working with various B,H and F pencils I could get some good depth!   

BAZINGA!!!

A quick pencil sketch, might work on it at some point! I love Big Bang Theory and the characters in the show particularly Sheldon Cooper, the know- it- all who has an answer for practically everything! The ultimate geek with a love for SCI-FI and Comic Books!!

New Year...... New Pic!

Happy New Year!!!
Here is a picture that I created in pencil and then finished in Photoshop. Commissioned for my Sister's work colleague for a leaving gift, armed with the information supplied I produced it from start to finish in around four days! Not too bad considering I hadn't done one in a while!

MATT'S 30TH

This was a present for my ex-tutor's 30th Birthday which he celebrated last weekend! As a tutor he teaches animation and along with this has a passion for all things SCI-FI!! (Star Wars being a favourite!)

Pencil Portrait

Following on from my Photoshop experiment! I thought that I'd go back to the drawing board (quite literally)! Using a selection of pencils and an image of actress Rachel Weisz, (I'd used one previously all be it a slightly different pose)! I wanted to see if I could focus on the pose and in the process try to improve on my shading techniques making sure that the finished drawing was accurate to the image.
Which I think I managed!??
