Here is a design I made in procreate. I was thinking of having it as a back of hand tattoo. It’s a dragon, can you tell? My son thought it was a tiger or something…

Procreate Tutorial
I have spent ages on this tut and I finally finished it so I wanted to post IMMEDIATELY! I am really happy with the result of this tutorial I did from Gabrielle Brickey (@artworkbygabrielle on insta) it was a fantastic tutorial and I learnt so much about portraits, digital painting and procreate. Thank you Gabrielle! I think there is still a few things I could do better but it has given me the skills I needed to take forward two other portraits I have on the go. I can thoroughly recommend the tut (she has 40% on her store rn btw)

In that small moment
We almost touched
Side by side on the sofa
That sank towards the middle
And the electricity
Of the almost touching
Had nowhere to earth
blew the tv
And we jumped back away from each other

Graphic Design: Fictional Cafe Flyer
Using photos in graphic design
This is an example of where my interest in photography, food and graphic design came together!

Flower woman
This is another thing that evolved out of figure drawing practice thanks to draw Brighton reference photos.
Another figure drawing practice piece. This time after the intial pencil sketch of the model, I decided to fill in the colours with promarkers. There are some real success’ here for me. The legs and feet I am particularly fond of. The background however somewhat losts it’s way. Like a poem that starts with a great first line and then struggles to maintain that impetus, that is what I found here, the figure was goodish and served the purpose of life drawing practice and I like the idea of the flowers. The background however is way too busy and the mountains less than successful. Thanks again to Draw Brighton for the reference.
Drawn using promarkers and finelines on watercolour paper.

Starwoman
Started out as a figure drawing practice and evolved into this. Blackstar ink with brush on heavy watercolour paper. Laying down the ink is soooo satisfying.

Neon pink glow skulls
Is a thing that came to life in my sketchbook and has become a little bit of an obsession. I am not sure who/what they are or what they want from me but here they are in their most refined form.
don’t think we are done with these dudes there are many more ways they want to show up.

The wolf is loose
This one is mostly a result if me wanting to create something like Mike Stockings’s great tattoo artwork. He uses procreate on the iPad and I wanted to see if I could create something similar with Photoshop and a Wacom intuos. Here is the result. I had “The wolf is loose” by Mastodon going round in my head as I drew so this influenced the result as you can see!

Bromley Bloodbowl League Logo
This was a fun one. We had many ideas from boars to bees. Eventually after a bit of iteration we ended up with this. Three bees, BBBL, geddit? I love a bit of humour in a design!

Magpie vintage shop
This is a logo for a fictional shop. The idea for this popped into my head while out on a dog walk one morning watching the magpies. I am a big fan of all the corvids.
