recent location drawings

 Been slacking with my location drawing recently, building things has taken a priority. These are a select few from what i've been drawing recently using animation pencils & brush pens.

The drawing below was done on the drive back from seeing my sister in Cambridge. Seeing her work was crazy inspiring (link to blog here) So i decided to buy a landscape sketchbook and try some larger in situ location drawings.

This was another of them, done using a biro in around 20 minutes in the Pret we always draw in

Really enjoyed this one! not worrying too much about detail, starting in one place (in this case the three older ladies in the far right corner) and working from there instead of mapping out the whole scene (a tip from my sister, start with something you want to draw and work from there). Also being left handed, it really helps to work from the right hand side of the page to the left, to avoid ridiculous amounts of smudging. 

Location drawing, first finished book!

Open publication - Free publishing - More animation

I finally finished a sketchbook of location drawing! Normally i don't set aside a specific book just for location drawing but decided its time to start. Finished this book a few weeks ago and have just put off making it into an e-book. Lots of effort but im happy with it. Hopefully it will show progression through my work over the next few years. We all had to start somewhere. Location drawing has taken a bit of a back seat to puppet building recently but i'm about 1/3 of the way through my next book and will post that up on here as and when its done.

 I desperately need to post about my current character project. Heres an incredibly brief insight into what i'm currently working on. (i'll post more here soon)

Summer work!

Believe it or not i've started drawing again! Considering the embarrassing amount of time off i've had i'm relatively happy with the outcomes. Need a lot more practice but planning on going everyday when i have a shift at work that finishes at half 3 so heres hoping I improve over the second month of summer at home.
