Character Design

This project is on character design. We had to interview five of our classmates whilst sketching them. The idea is that you get enough background information in order to create a comic character out of them... and give them super powers.

Comic Book n ting

I'm working on a comic with a friend of mine. We have a vague idea on the plot so its all still work in progress. These are just a couple of initial character ideas.

Flip Book

This was my first animation task at uni. The breif was very basic, start and end in a dot... You can see where i went from there.

This a page from a book we had to create on studies of object in museums we had visited. man that was along sentance. anyways.... so for some reason i decided to be a little adventurous and do the book completely in stencil. as of yet the book is unfinished (has to be 15 pages) This is my favorite page so far. it is based on the statue of Eve in the V&A.

Landscape Project

My first project in my Illustration class was one of landscapes. I really struggled with this one but in the end i recelived some good and helpful criticisms. Heres the best of the bunch for all to see.


This is my interpretation of Greenwich park. I got fed up of drawing landscapes realistically so i let my imagination loose on this one!

Sketchbook Scans

Ok so I have not posted in a while. I've been at university studying Illustration and Animation for the last two months. Here are a few selected images from my sketchbooks so far.
