Girl Gang Sketches

New lineup of the least threatening all-girl gang-  characters that started from a drawing prompt last year

Bodytype Chart Sketches

(An exercise I did taking characters from Persona 3 and 4, whose in-game models all virtually had the same body-base, and tried to creat a variety of body-types while keeping everyone recognisable)

More Character Prompt Sketches

Some more sketches from the character creation prompts I got on Tumblr

Sketch Prompts Nov 2012

Here are some rough sketches I did from prompts sent to me via Tumblr, to the draw children of pairs of various pre-existing fictional characters.

I had a lot of fun with these, as I was given a lot of different mixes to try out (you might notice I snuck a familiar face or two into the mix!)
Each character featured here is the result of a different prompt (except the blue-haired characters, who are siblings)

Some Life Drawing

Making some composite sheets for my portfolio - here are some sample layouts for my life-drawing sketches.

As you can see, I like to play around with different media when I'm doing life-drawing. One of my favourite combinations I tried out last year was outlining in watercolour pencil, followed by shading  with Quink ink and water on a big brush.

Panda Sketches

They look how I feel.

Film Concept Art

I've been doing some more early sketches for my 4th year film:

I am getting closer to the look I want for the film, and nailing down how the main players will look.

Designs of trees:

These trees are based on the art nouveau style to fit with the general period of the piece. 

Some sketches of my main character, Alva:

Alva is a kind of goofy character, not very elegant, with big expressions. 

Test designs of supporting characters

"The Fairy Queene":

The Queen of the fairies needed to be a contrast to Alva, very refined and regal.

Since earlier sketches, I've pared her features down, giving her less wild expressions than other characters.

A pixie/imp:

This character is very small, but I didn't want him to be too cutesy, because that wouldn't fit with his cheeky, somewhat abrasive demeanor. I think he came out looking a tad like a scruffier cousin of the Rice Krispies elves...
