Fan Art Friday: Namadine and Harlan from Biomecha by Laura Watton-Davies and Desperate Dan from Dandy

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing only two fan arts. One of them is in colour and was previously a pencil sketch the other is in black and white and ink in green ink. Both were changed and improved on Photoshop.

The first fan art for today is of Namadine and Harlan from the comic series Biomecha by Laura Watton. I created this drawing in green ink back in 2011 and told myself that I will not post it until I've read the short comic Team Leader which is a short comic and part of the Biomecha Series that Laura has created. Since I read it thanks to Neo Magazine I thought that it was time to post it up. It also felt necessary to add some tones on Photoshop, regardless if it was in Black and White. I hope you guys like it:

 
























The final fan art for today is of Desperate Dan from the comic magazine Dandy. The comic was published by DC Thomson. The picture is a link of the Dennis the Menace drawing that I did last week. The comic was another that I read back when I was a kid and was what I read other than the Beano. The drawing follows the same colour scheme as the last one:

























There will be more fan art next week. It'll be the first fan art Friday of 2014 and of January so I hope to bring forth some more drawings of things and comics that are awesome. Tomorrow I'll post up something else, it sort of links to what I've been doing throughout the year.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!

I just wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a brilliant New Year! Here's a lovely pic for the season! Enjoy Yourselves Everyone!:

Fan Art Friday: Dennis the Menace and Nasher from Beano, Melfina and Gene Starwind from Outlaw Star by Takehiko Ito , Ryoko and Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo/Universe by Hitoshi Okuda, Masaki Kajishima and Jason and Sheridan from Fruit Machine by Mimi-Evelyn

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone I hope you've all had a great and marvellous week so far.  Today I'll be showing four fan arts. All of them were created as pencil sketches then modified and changed on Photoshop. Three of the fans art drawings took me under an hour to complete. Roughly around 45 to 60 mins. I might be working a lot quicker than usual. Three of them are in a snow theme. Mostly because I love snow. These drawings were also created during the week. I yearned to finish these images earlier than later because there are a few other posts that I would love to show on this blog. Which will be either around Christmas Day and during the new year. ^_^


The first Fan art is of Dennis the Menace which is part of a comic called Beano and published by DC Thompson. These comics were one of the first few that I've read back in my childhood years. I'm very very surprised that it is still going. It has touched many generation since it first began and it is still ongoing. The Beano annuals that are available. I can honestly say it feel weird reading these comics again after all these year. I'm not sure when I came out of it. Also in the Cartoon Museum there many Beano comics for visitors to read. There's also a past history section of Dennis the Menace and of other Beano comics in the museum too:

























The  next fan art is of Gene Starwind and Melfina from the manga  Outlaw Star by Takehito Ito. The anime was created by Sunrise. I've only watched the anime and I thought that it was good. I first watched this within my mid-teens. There were a couple of favourite episodes that I like as well as other episodes that have made me very laugh. What you can see here is both of these characters walking in the snow:

























This fan art is of Ryoko and Tenchi from the Tenchi Muyo/Universe series. As I've mentioned in a couple of other posts, the Tenchi anime series was what bought me into anime within my late childhood years. Here you'll see Ryoko chasing Tenchi who would really like a kiss from him. Tenchi avoids this by running away from her. LOOOL!:

























The last fan art for today is of Jason and Sheridan from the web-comic Fruit Machine by Mimi -Evelyn. I read the web-comic in one day which was on Tuesday this week. It made me laugh a lot. So I thought I'd create a fan art for this series. I've met Mimi at the London Comic Con a couple of years ago. I bought some prints and postcards so I thought that it would be cool if I read her latest stuff. ^_^  As you can see here both of these characters are staring right back at the viewer. The question is what are they looking at? There is another picture that I'll be creating to go with this image. It will be post up on the 10th of January so stay tuned:

























There will be more fan art next week, the next drawings will be based towards the new year. Thank you for visiting my blog and as always please leave a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Strawberry,Chocolate, Carlos and Sakura by Joanna Zhou, Cream, Geraldine, Ewan, Lee, and Jill from Cafe Suda by Jade Sarson and Rufus and Flook by Wally Fawkes

Seasons Greetings to you all and Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant time this month and are making the most of it during this festive season. Today I'll be showing three fan arts two of them have been created using coloured inks and the third one has been created using Photoshop. Since I yearned to be in the Christmas Spirit, these fan arts are seasonal and I hope you'll like them.


The first fan art is from the webcomic Cafe Suada by Jade Sarson. It's a brilliant series and I've read it surprisingly amounts of times online this year as well as late last year. The character in the middle is called Cream is my favourite character in the series. She's a character of whom I think would be very very interesting to talk to over tea. The next favourite character of whom I think is awesome is Geraldine on the top right. She is very significant in the comic but I would love for you to read it. If you love tea or coffee or BOTH, please check out this webcomic. Plus if you like what you see and would love to buy the comic click here Also have a look at Jade's DA too.:

























The next fan are of the manga Chocoberry and Carlos and Sakura by Joanna Zhou These characteres are Chocolate Strawberry (The two koalas above and Carlos (the hedghog) and Sakura (the rabbit) These two are in a manga called Harajuku Zoo as well as their own mini series 'Carlos and Sakura. If there is one thing that I can say about Joanna Zhou's comics are that they are very funny. The Carlos and Sakura series is very funny too. She's also a Graphic Designer and a Illustrator.  I thought I create these characters having a snowball fight:

























The final fan art for today is of Flook and Rufus from the comic strip Flook. It's by the artist and jazz musician Wally Fawkes who is also known as Trog. Rufus is the boy and Flook is the creature next to him. Earlier this year, there was a exhibition at the Cartoon Musuem about Wally and his friend Humphrey Lyttelton. Both of them draw and and well know musicians within the 20th Century. This was indeed a great exhibiton and a interesting retrospective. I thought I'd draw these two in suits to fit the season:



















There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please leave a comment!

Fan Art Friday: Len and Raine from DNA by CowgirlEm and Usagi and Mamoru-Chan from Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeguchi

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant week so far and are making good and great plans for the Christmas holidays. As I mentioned int last week's Fan Art Friday post. The drawings that will be shown from now until 27th will be Christmas themed. This is because I'm currently in the Christmas mood. Also I'm going to make a habit make each fan art character in historical clothes. Today I'll be showing two fan art drawings. These drawings were created with a light lilac coloured pencil and coloured inks.

I have added a boarder that I created on Photoshop  to add effect. It didn't take a while to make.

The first fan art is of Len and Raine from the webcomic and manga DNA which is known as DeoxyRiboNuclearAnarchy by CowgirlEm. This was the third DNA fan art that I created after the previous two. Since this one was suited for Christmas so I thought I add coloured inks to it. I'm quite pleased of what has come out:

























The last and final fan art for today is of Usagi and Mamoru-chan from Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeguchi. The drawing is okay I guess but I felt the least I could do was post this up. The border was added and this made the drawing stand out a whole lot more. I will be creating more Sailor Moon fan art, whenever necessary. I ADORE this manga and I hope to add it to my collection at some point. I'm just not so sure when:



There will be more Christmas fan art next week. Thanks for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

Happy December! First Xmas Pics!

Hi everyone and happy December! Today as promised I'll be showing you some Christmas pictures. Today I'll show three. These pictures were created about three years ago. All of these were created using watercolour paints orange pencils and Photoshop. The reasons as to why I chose to create these drawings is because I yearned to be in the xmas spirit.:


















































The last image that is seen here will be part of a Christmas Card. It's part of the Holiday Card Project that Deviantart are currently doing. I'll be sending it on Monday. It took a while to finish but it seems to be a success. Two of the people in this drawing are based on random people of whom I saw on the street and on the bus. The woman on the right was the person that I saw on the bus with her daughter. The guy on the lower right was someone I saw on the way home from work:

























I did create some pastel drawings that are based on the Christmas theme a couple of years ago. If you would like to have a look then please click here. Thank you for visiting my blog. Please leave a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Ohayo Sunday Afternoon and BellRingers by Selina Dean

Happy Fan art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all doing okay and have enjoyed the month of the November. I had a good month and I'm very excited about next month. Today I'll be showing two fan arts. Both of them were created with pencil and the colour was added on Photoshop. They are both from a series by the same author. This author is Selina Dean.


The first fan art is of Vitzo who is one of the Bellringers from the comic Bellringers. I thought I'd draw him in this positon because it suited it very well. I read the comic in a collection of short comics that she complied together. It is called Koneko. Regardless how short the story was I was drawn to it. I also questioned myself why I didn't buy the earlier issues sooner. The story was left at a cliffhanger and this left me shocked because I yearned to read more. Also the chapter that I read in this issue was chapter three. I'm now convinced to go back and read the webcomic. I'm really excited about this:

























The next fan art is of Kiriko from the webcomic Ohayo Sunday Afternoon. Back in 2009, the comic was released as a webcomic and I kept reading it. It was very funny and made me smile. It's also part of the first issue of Koneko. Kiriko is seen here standing while Sakura petals are flown by. I yearned to create a different atmosphere with this character:

























In two days time which is the 1st December I'll post up some pictures which are based on the theme of Christmas. Next week's Fan Art Friday will also follow the same theme. Thank you for visiting my blog! Please leave a comment and enjoy the last few days of November.

Head Casts Sketches, Clothes and objects from the Victoria and Albert Museum

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant November so far. Two Sundays ago, I went to the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) and it was awesome. I did some sketches on clothes, a couple of objects and head cast sketches.

The first batch of sketches are of clothes from China:





















The next batch of sketches are clothes are from Korea and England:

















































































































































These sketches are of objects from China, Korea and England:





























The final sketches for today are of Head sketches. All of the are women:






































This final sketch is part of a huge sculpture. I'm thinking of creating more sketches of this piece just like I did with the last Head Cast that I did a while ago.:



























There will be Fan Art Friday tomorrow. I hope to show you more fan art from comics or books that are great! Also Happy Thanksgiving!

Fan Art Friday: Wally from Where's Wally by Martin Hanford, Tintin from The Adventures of Tintin by Hergé

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be showing only one fan art. It's actually an old fan art that I created back in 2010. The original drawing has gone but luckily I took precautions and scanned the picture. Back then, I posted it up on the Sweatdrop Forums. The picture isn't seen on the forum so I thought I'd show it here. This Fan art was created using water-colour paints.

The fan art is based on two characters, both of them well-known. One of them is Tintin by Hergé and the other is Wally from the book and cartoon series Where's Wally by Martin Hanford. Both of these series are quite significant because I have watched both of them during my childhood, Where's Wally was probably the first one I watched. I adored the cartoon series and whenever it was time to find him, it was very very difficult. I admired the fact that the people who created the animation when into a huge way of creating scenes where it would be exactly like the book. The books were quite good as well and I can honestly say Martion Hanford has indeed astounded me. Lastly, there were also cards where you also had to find Wally too. At this age now, it's easy to find him as it was back then.
Tintin was indeed another great series. The cartoon was brilliant and the music was a true gem and by the time I reached towards my pre-teens I found a whole range of comic of Tintin at my local library. I read some of them. They were good too. At some point I'll re-draw these characters again. I feel they need a bit of a revival.:























There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

Fan Art Friday: DNA (DeoxyRiboNuclearAnarchy) By CowgirlEm

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all had or having a great Friday today! These two works were drawn as pencil sketches then black and white shades of colour was added on Photoshop. Both fan arts are based on the manga DNA which is also called DeoxyRiboNuclearAnarchy . It is by the comic artist CowgirlEm . I bought the comic at the London Comic Con in October and it was awesome to meet her in person. They both follow the same procedure as Emma Viecieli's Dragon Heir Fan Art.

If you would like to read the manga feel free to click here and to see CowgirlEm's website, click here.

Since I've only read the first chapter, I thought I'd show all four of the main characters. Helix is seen in the first picture beating Len's score in a popular game and Mynx looking at the damage he's created after he's won:


























The next picture is of course Len's reaction to his beloved Ipad mini:



There will be more Fan Art next week! I did create one more DNA fan art but since it fitted the Christmas season, It will not be shown either next week or during the month of December.

Head Cast Sketches in Early November (^o^)

Hello Everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the month of November so far although were at the beginning. I thought I'd share some more head cast sketches from the National Portrait Gallery yesterday afternoon:

































































































































Out of the ones that have been shown in this post. This one would have to be my favourite. It most definitely looks like the actual marble cast itself:





















As I've previously mentioned in my last post it will be the last time that I'll be doing head casts from this gallery. From next Sunday I'll be at the Victoria and Albert Museum doing sketches of clothes. But don't worry this isn't the end of the head cast sketches I will be making more at some point.
