Drawing a Dragon; Pencil & Ink

UPDATES NOW ON TUMBLR!!!!!

Hello everyone who watches my blog. I know I have not updated a lot since the start of 2016 but that is because I now make most of my uploads, updates of my artwork on "Tumblr" now these days.

I am also working a lot still for KING BEE STUDIOS as lead animator so I apologize that nothing has come up on here, it just means that it is on tumblr so please click on the link below:

2016!!!

Tis 2016 Peeps! A brand new year for all of us. 2015 was okay but during the last few months was meh. October was shite! all rain and no real proper Halloween and my beloved girlfriend could not come over as she was in Brazil and was making preparations to move to Dublin.

But now she is there so it will be much easier for me to see her as I am living in London. I welcome you 2016 with hope and love. Also a lazy start as I am currently relaxing and watching TV.

CHEERS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

I have a Dragon Obsession

 Been trying out different variations of the same dragon drawing all day XS

leetle wee doggy

My girlfriend's pet Pug, Pacoca. She showed me a phot and it was such a cute pic that I had to draw her.

Skeleton Bonin'

Spooky Skeleton bonin'

Scottish Fever

I drew this last night in pencil and then went over with a nice charcoal brush stroke in illustrator. Somehow I have gotten into a craze of drawing a scottsman playing a bagpipe. The pipes are amazing when you hear it. The topples part is inspired from Celts who are the original scotts or first people of Britain before the Roman Empire came and colonized the country.

So here I have painted the same character but in different pain styles. Two from Photoshop, the other from Illustrator.

Faythe and the Fear Stone (sketches)

Working on another pitch project. The style is to get some sort of "disney" inspired design, following from the clients feedback and the original designs.

Decided to redo my showreel as the previous one was lacking in several elements that would promote myself professionally.

Jurassic World Raptors Squad

More fan based stuff since I love dinosaurs. Using Flash and a pen toll to experiment on inking, here are from left to right: Echo, Blue, Delta and Charlie.

(We all know fully well that the raptors in the series are not accurate sized, featherless dinosaurs)

New tumblr Blog

I have just posted up a new tumblr blog containing a little personal something. Check it out if you want too :)

http://myhusbanddinosaur.tumblr.com/

The concept is about a woman who marries a Dinosaur...a T-rex to be precise. Here is a sample pic below, trying out a charcoal brush in "My Paint".

What are you afraid of?

Just....purely...mad...random....trying out the pen style on Flash...and its ...AMAZING...creepy...but...still cool...

Pterodactyl Chaos

I love dinosaurs, and what could be better than drawing and sketching my own dinosaur concept artwork, meant for a project but I think they are beautiful and will be uploading more very soon.

Jurassic World Fan Art

This one has the black outlines but no colour :P
