Anthropomorphic Ocelot

I took a moment away from working on the second volume of my Drawing Syllabus (Volume 2 focuses on anatomy), to do an anthropomorphic sketch.  I thought I'd share an image that provides some insight into my process, and the value of how anatomy translates to the final render.

Thought I'd try playing around with something a little more cartoony and graphic!

Faerie Queen

Since faerie folk are the ultimate mischief makers, I thought it was fitting for April 1!

At the National Portrait Gallery

Going through pads of paper and thought I'd share this two minute academic study that I did at a life drawing session at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The theater is lovely, though it's not an ideal set up to draw in unless you draw on a small surface, as seating is quite packed. But it's a nice experience and the gallery is always worth a visit!

Character Design References Interview

Trying to catch up on the Harry Potter Design Challenge!  Here is my version of Goyle.

Petrichor

I know it's been a while since I've posted any artwork. Everyone who knows me personally knows that I am most probably the worst person in the Western world when it comes to sharing personal work on social media. My goal (as usual) is to be a bit more consistent this year!

I've been traveling a lot this last year for work, and adventuring with Doctor Who and the Tardis has been keeping me company during my real life adventures as I have been re-immersing myself in anticipation of Season 11! Here is a little something for the Whovians out there.
