The Trio


The finished 3. As always these scans aren't a true reflection of the originals.
For these I used graphite pencil on A3 Acid Free Cartridge Paper.

#1



This is the first of three drawings for this particular project. I was going to do a whole series but because its taken me so long I thought three would be a more appropriate number. It hasn't scanned particularly well as some of the subtlety of the shading is lost but you get a good sense of the depth and tone of the drawing.

Research








Over the last few months I've been spending my time researching artists and experimenting with paper and different types of media. These are a few pages taken from my visual journal showing this journey. All of this helps to 'spell out' what a project is about and where its heading - something which acts as a reminder of what you are trying to achieve.

I was in the photo studio taking images for the on-going project 'natural beauty' and eneded up with a few very dark photographs which didn't fit into my concept but I thought looked really interesting.

Natural Beauty


These are the first of a series of drawings which I'm creating towards the theme of natural beauty. I'm hoping to build a strong portfolio focusing on this sort of subject matter as I think its much more interesting and original than some of my more recent work. I'm quite pleased with the outcome of these drawings too as they were quite a challenge to produce and I've learn't alot during the process.

I've always been interested in the idea of taking something out of it's context and giving it a new meaning. I recently whent to a concert and as usual took way too many photos. Light has always intrigued me in terms of the different shapes, tones and colours it makes and I thought it would be really interesting to see it from a new perspective - seperated from any logical focus or shape. What I've ended up with is a series of abstract and colourful images.

Here are some colour variations for the banner. I decided to keep the colour palet simple so not to distract from the image of the hall. The middle image works best for me, some small changes will be made to the shades of colour and arrangement but this is much closer to the final design.

Village Hall Brief


I've been given a brief to design a logo for my local village hall. This is a rough design for the logo which is still in the very early stages - the layout, typography and colour are still to be decided on. I feel the imagery works well as it gives the right feel for a rural community, complimented by the style in which it is presented.

From a personal point of view I feel my work has undergone a sudden surge of improvement so having already worked from this image I decided to do it again to see what aspects I have improved upon and what still needs to be refined.

Final Storyboard Drawings





These are some of the final drawings made towards the animated storyboard. 10 scenes were completed in total. Overall I'm not 100% happy with all of the drawings and I don't think my drawing ability would be good enough for a larger project.... something I'll have to work on! However, I'm very greatful to have been given the opportunity as the experience was well worth it.

Some final drawings...






These drawings are a bit more finished than previous ones because less animation will be used. This scene in particular is more about the atmosphere and emotion than movement.

Animated Storyboard





These are some of the drawings made towards an animated storyboard I'm currently in the process of making for a feature film. The style is purposely broad and niave in order to be easily animated and above all - clear.
