New stuff

I have gone back to Uni!!!! Yes I must be mad, with my house, kids, part time job AND illustration commissions I decided to go back to Uni & do Fine Art degree.
Why?
Have always wanted to do it, would like to pass, go to Teacher Training maybe teach later on.
Loving it though, it's hard work but great fun.
My work style for my commissions is the same but the stuff I do at college is all different.
Will post a few bits and bobs.
May keep this as a diary as part of my course work...dunno yet.

PORTRAIT

Missed the Angels & Devils post so have incorporated this post with that one. Love this drawing it was a commission for a very good friend of her new baby nephew and it looks so like him, she calls him her little angel hence the wings.
Hope you all like it.

FAT

Windygust is the name of a fat gnome in a book I am writing & illustrating. Hope you like him. It's a long process and is taking me such a long time to complete this project but I'm not giving up on it.

Spotted

This was a portrait commission that I did last month, the client wanted her portrait in the style of a Masai Princess but not keeping too much to the exact Masai culture. She gave me a plain photograph of herself and I did some research for the headress and accesories. This was what I came up with, it was lovely to draw and she seemed to love it.

MONSTER

As I still cant scan anything, this too is a bit of an oldy. Painted this picture of Angus Young from the band AC/DC onto the pillion of a motorbike. It is kind monsterlike. Hope you all like it.

Feet

My scanner is broke, boohoo!!! I have had a crappy few weeks and cant scan any work in, but this week I find I have an old piece that fits...feet!!
Many years old, sorry but at least I'm still included this week, wahey!!

Simple

Had trouble thinking of a simple subject matter, then I thought there is nothing much simpler than a child. My sons love their chalkboard so I drew my nephew for them onto their chalkboard, back to basics with subject & materials, really simple!
