A few sketch pages from the Natural History Museum’s wondrous contents… It was nice (albeit scary) going back to a traditional sketchbook and pens again, but really enjoyed doing these little studies… I think the sketchbook (Strathmore toned tan) is 9″ x 11″ and the pens are a mix of copic markers, a white sharpie…
Little prehistoric purgatorius creature I sculpted a while ago in ZBrush for a dinosaur exhibition – It was only sculpted up to a certain level of detail because the 3D print was to be covered in fur. It was going to be in a test tube type scenario, hence the upright pose. Found this online…
Today I met up with Shannon Beaumont, who was my AWESOME tutor when I took the Animal Drawing CGMA class – and two of the other UK based students, James and Alice. We went to ZSL London Zoo to sketch – turns out I didn’t do much actual sketching, as it was fascinating to watch…
When I was in the US in April 2017, I spent a whole delightful day at San Diego Zoo which i’d been looking forward to for AGES. It didn’t disappoint! Firstly, it’s HUGE. It’s really well laid-out with lots of different levels and feels a bit like you’re discovering as you go… The zoo is…
Beauty & the Beast update! I’ve just returned from a last minute holiday to the USA and made a very exciting discovery… We popped out to get some food for the apartment and decided to stop by the Walk of Fame, Chinese Theatre etc… I’d heard that some of our Beauty & the Beast props…
Had a lot of fun with this one… Drew the initial sketch in Procreate on the iPad Pro, then coloured it in Photoshop (Again thank you to Shannon Beaumont for her feedback on this!) Some other study doodles from misc books and photo refs… Oh and some dogs, whilst we’re at it!
CASSOWARY! Real life dinosaurs… I actually sketched this ages ago for one of my ‘sketch a day’ drawings, but wanted to revisit it and tweaked the drawing quite a bit and got some colour involved… I did the initial sketch on the iPad Pro using the Procreate app, but ended up doing the colour in…
I rarely show in-progress personal stuff like this, but thought it’s time I did… I’ve got a personal IP project i’ve been developing since the dawn of time, and I was given a creature design challenge for an online class i’ve been doing – no better excuse than doing a class to get your backside in…
Tiger study referenced from a video I shot at ZSL London Zoo of the beautiful Melati… Was fun taking this one through to colour! Must do colour more…
Warner Brothers have released three new posters featuring some of the main characters from DC’s Justice League (coming in November 2017) – super excited to see some of our costumes in clearer detail! I was part of the Special Costume FX sculpting crew (and the Props dept but that’s not relevant just yet!) – it…
