Mondoodle 22-02-2010
Hello again. The lightbox and I have had words. Yep, I’m going to suck it up and stop complaining. And try to finish my work before sun-down…
Here’s the Mondoodle. It’s a bit of a case of… here’s one I prepared earlier. Because Of COURSE I wouldn’t get distracted during a tough deadline! That’s just not [...]
Anatomy of a Drawing 1
I thought it would be interesting to dissect a drawing, so to speak. This is one from my Moleskines collection, book two. It began with a what should I draw? kind of question, and a suggestion from Peter of a walrus. No more of an idea than that. I pulled up photos from the computer [...]

Quick-draw Rabbit plus one
I’m thinking that with these videos, while you watch the sequence of strokes, you might also watch a story unfold if I sketch it in the right order. That’s tricky for me as it requires a certain amount of planning, and I have been enjoying letting the drawing do its own thing to an extent. [...]

Mondoodle 16-11-09
Does it count if you can see the drawing completed in under the ten minutes? Possibly.
I felt like doing something quite different today. My first jobs in illustration were doing fantasy work for some role-playing manuals. I did a lot of dragons and creatures back then, for fun as well as for work. And there [...]
Quick-draw – crusty pirate
Here’s another Quick-draw. Oh I do enjoy these and I’m starting to get used to drawing without watching the page. I’ll upgrade it to HD when I work out how – the option didn’t seem to present itself this time. Do click the HQ button though for a better view. And you can turn off [...]

Quick-draw – Solemn Rabbit
Hello my loves.
I have been playing… and you know how important I think play-time is…
This was done on a Wacom Tablet and captured with CamStudio. I started with a reference photo of a hare and then made up the rest as I went along. I’m basically trying to do some pictures like I do in [...]

On the run and fashion
There’s a little bit of panic that sets in at times each year. It’s when I’m falling behind a little bit with new things looming and I start having unsettling dreams about being chased all the time. No difficulty in interpreting those particular bludgeons of the subconscious.
At the moment I’m finishing designs for a cute [...]
Starting out #3
#3 Don’t make publishers guess
If you’re cutting-edge and can’t quite see how to make your stuff work in the current publishing environment – don’t assume someone else will. Yes, lots of publishers have an eagle eye and a thirst for the Next Big Thing, but they are also very busy. So a bit of work [...]
