A couple of old-ish sketches

I haven't posted anything for a while as I am currently working on a project; designing a website logo and creating some illustrations for the website. I will put up a link as soon as the website is launched.

In the meantime I thought I would put up a couple of old-ish sketches I did for Illustration Friday but just never finished in time to get them up.

This is an Illustration Friday project that I just didn't finish in time to upload, the theme was 'farewell'. I just couldn't decide if to put some ink on the sky or not. I think I prefer it as it is; quite simple.

I finished my evening course at Edinburgh College of Art a few weeks ago, so thought it was about time to put up some of my final work.

I created some internal illustrations for a short story by Claire Massey, 'Marionettes'. The images are of empty passageways in Prague.

This is a sketch of a man on a train a couple of months ago. He had fantastic wispy fine hair.

Lunchtime sat outside Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. It was sunny!

I am currently studying another evening course at Edinburgh College of Art, 'Developing an Illustration Project'. I am in the process of sketching ideas for my final project which will be illustrations for a short story 'Marionettes' by author Claire Massey. The story is set in Prague but I have never been there so have been using photographs that my Dad took on his holidays.

I just received some fantastic new inks in the post today, Distress Inks (by Tim Holtz). I had a play around and created this scene.

This is one of my final pieces for my illustration course. I chose a favourite kindle book of mine to illustrate. This is a front cover design for Nimbus: A Steampunk Novel (Part One) by B.J Keeton, Austin King.

These are two images inspired by some of the scenes from the book.

I have been really busy the past few months studying an evening class at Edinburgh College of Art, 'Introduction to Illustration'. It has been a great course and very challenging with a new brief almost every week. I hope to put a few images up in a couple of weeks but as a break from my course work I sketched the above image using the 'Illustration Friday' word as my brief, 'Whiskers'.
