Well, I was going to blog my book cover illustrations for Seven Sorcerers and Shadow Spell, but I was beaten to it! :)

A very half assed doodle / painting (I didn’t even finish her limbs) inspired by Aisling from The Secret of Kells. I wasn’t particularly blown away by the film, but I’ll be damned if I don’t love a girl with swooshy hair. About 2 hours.

A current work in progress (another, you say?) of some lovely willowy and curvey women. I think drawing women will be a life long love affair for me, le sigh. Oh, and derrières are mighty fun to paint.

The painting to go with my tutorial in Imagine FX, issue 79. A Día de Muertos themed girl. My gravestone will read ‘she drew pretty girls in pretty dresses’… I’m sure of it.
Yes I know, she probably reminds you all of Sylvia Jii’s work!

A small group of sketches for a personal project I’m working on. These were done with blue lead, although the contrast is ramped up in PS :)

A painting in progress! This is about an hour in. I’ve tried numerous times over the years to try and paint some kind of snowscape, but they’ve always turned out rather like shit. This though? I actually kind of like it. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but I like it so far :) I might actually finish this one?

A small snippet of a Mucha tribute I’m working on. I haven’t done a full blown lineart for years, so this was lots of fun. Should be a colour version soon, I hope.

One day I will stop posting random sketches and actually start posting substantial work again. Until then, have a slightly more realistic interpriation of Cinderella?
Oh yeah, there’s my childhood self still ‘eeeeee-ing’ at drawing Princesses. Poofy dresses, hell yes.

Just another random sketch from when I was testing out those awesome Pencil Presets I blogged about. 10 minutes ish? Photoshop!
