Sangoma

I decided to take the  final design of my witch and paint her in more detail. I  am pretty happy with the end product and think I will paint the other two characters in this way. And hopefully soon I will be able to post up a finished concept painting from a scene in the story, just busy roughing out some thumbnails at the moment :)

Personal Project - Pearl Concepts

I have started a personal project which is based loosely on the story of Hasel and Gretel, however it is set in kenya. She is basically Gretel. I quite like her design, however I still need to explore further with the final painted style. Have not quite found something I like yet.

Sipho concepts

Still not really keen on his design. feedback would be helpful :)

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.
