Witch (Sangoma) concept

For the witch I wanted her to be a large woman as it indicates that she has a wealth of food and therofore can lure in the children. I feel I still need to experiment more with colour and the finished style for the characters however I think the final witch design will be the last one, she seems less goofy than the previous one.

Witch's house concepts

As my project is based loosly on the story of Hansel and Gretel I need to design the witches house so that it would lure the children to it. Im not sure how I want it yet, whether it should be made of gingerbread and sweets or just have a big pot of hot food for the starving kids. Some feedback would be great :)

Sargent Study no3

This is my 3rd attempt at a sargent painting, I spent a couple of hours in the evening doing it and found the hardest part to paint was her jacket however I think It's a better study that the first 2 I did.

Sargent Studies

I tried to do a couple of quick Sargent studies for the first time the other day, I found it challenging but really enjoyed doing them. The second one is very unfinished but that was not the point of the exercise. Will definitly be doing more though and will hopefully improve along the way :)

Happy Birthday dad

My dad loves old war planes, so I decided to paint him this for his birthday.

Doodles

Self Portrait

Self Portrait I painted last night. I personally don't think it looks like me, but I plan to do more and hopefully get better.

I decided to do a portrait painting of my grandpa who recently passed away. He will be missed very much

Gypsy wagon

This is a personal project I have been working on during my free time away from film work. My main aim was to just improve upon my digital painting.

Matt Dixon Artist study

I realised that I have not done enough artist studies lately. So I thought I would do a study from one of Matt Dixons paintings. Im am going to try and do a study every day to improve upon my painting skills

Sunday evening painting

I have not been doing much painting recently as I have been working on my 3rd year film. But I had nothing to do last night and thought it a good opportunty to do a digital painting. This is our student kitchen.

Christmas holiday drawings

Could not afford christmas presants this year, so I decided to do drawings for my family. I had a lot of fun doing these.

Still Life 02

This is my 2nd attempt at a digital still life painting. Still trying to paint quicker yet still capture as much from it as I can. Here I have painted some fruit shakers in a fruit bowl.

Digi Sketches

I have been keen to try and start doing some quick digital painting sketches using my wacom and I really enjoy it. Its helping me break away from focusing on detail too early in a painting. This way I work faster by just finding shapes and capturing quick poses.

My first digital still life painting

Today was a cold and windy day, so decided to do a still life painting, using photoshop. This will be my first digital still life painting and Im quite happy with it. I definitly learnt a lot doing this.
