Super Undies

This was for a weekly sketch group theme on AI for "costume". I think
all good superheroes need good super undies

Beer and Lemon

Vectors, done in Fireworks

Pattern: Membrane

I've been practicing creating patterns lately. This was done entirely in Fireworks using vector shapes.

Leap

My first real attempt at adding shade in photoshop.

Japanese (detail)

I cropped the large image because the detail was lost when I re-sized it for the web.

I still don't have a title for it..

Untitled - Japanese Influence

This is inspired by some Hiroshige prints I've got.
I love Japanese woodblock prints. This, much to my shame, is done with pen and ink, then coloured in Photoshop...

IF: Alphabets

This is for Illustration Friday's

"Alphabets" theme.

Solid 1

Thought I'd get a little existential...this one's all about form and space,
and the beauty of simple, solid lines and curves. The sky is drawn from
a picture I took with some work in photoshop. The rest was put together
in Fireworks.

IF: Missing

vector drawing for Illustration Friday's

"missing".

I'm not sure of the full story here, but I'm

guessing blondie got caught "dacks down"

somewhere!

Lost

Pen and ink drawing / vector
I did this for Illustration Friday's "moon" theme.

The Red Wheelbarrow

Wax Pastels on paper

I did this for Illustration Friday's "poem" theme. I always liked The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams (1923). We studied it at school and it was the only one I could ever remember.

Yellowbird

Wax Pastels on Paper

Abbot's Mourn

Ink on paper (finished in photoshop)

Hair Towel

Pen and ink (coloured in photoshop)

Perhaps its because I'm yet to learn how to blend colour in photoshop, but I really like the flat colour areas I get with this technique. Its almost a print-like effect. (and yes, that is a towel on her head)

Coffee Anatomy

Pen and ink

Another coffee inspired drawing. This was done before I began colouring in photoshop.

Coffee Spill

Pen and ink sketch coloured in photoshop

This was one of my first attempts at using photoshop to colour a sketch. In the end all I did was add the white of the cup and the nails.

Tea Poster

Tea Poster
Acrylic paint on paper

I was trying to create something that had a print-like quality about it. I think this comes close.
