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.

Fan Art Friday: Captain Lucas Blackstone and Annabelle Haveham from Bought for Revenge by Sarah Mallory and Edo no Komori Uta

Hello Everyone and Happy Fan Art Friday! Today I'll be showing two fan arts today. One of them is a new drawing created by hand then changed on Photoshop. The second drawing was created during my university days. It was done by hand using coloured and black ink.


The first fan art is of Lucas Blackstone and Annabelle Hanveham from the novel 'Bought for Revenge' by Sarah Mallory. I was really excited to read this book and I really enjoyed it. I adored the female protagonist Annabelle. I felt she was a very strong character in the book and despite her times where she had to distance herself from Blackstone and was also of High Status, she still had compassion for the people that she lived with. Particually those of a very poor background. I also had so much passion for Blackstone, considering what he had been through in the past.


What I did here was I tried to create the characters from the book, but I made a couple of changes:

The second and final fan art for today is of a Japanese Children Song called Edo no Komori Uta. This a  song that I found very interesting when I first heard it I found it quite odd. But as I repeated the song over I grew fond of it. Japanesepod101.com was the website that introduced me to the song, while beginning studying Japanese through audio and video podcasts. These podcasts were found on  I still listen to the podcasts today and it always make me smile. Usually I chose to use a guy holding a baby and I wrote the some of lyrics in lyrics. Lastly this drawing was created on a Saturday night on my way back from youth meeting. Buses were put to a halt because of snow and while listening to a list of music I felt that it would be really awesome to do a drawing based on this song:

There will be more fan art next week. Once again thank you for visiting my blog. Please leave a comment.

Mid-Summer Story: Demi's Dream Adventure 2/3

I'll now be inking these images and the rest in coloured inks. They will follow the same colour scheme as the last Dark and Light Story. Also more infomation about the story will be explained when everything is completed.

Fan Art Friday: Miaka from Fushigi Yugi by Yuu Watase, Briony and Mercedes from Once Upon A Time by Sonia Leong and Lilly Beecham from Her Cinderella Season by Deb Marlowe

Happy November and Happy Fan Art Friday. Today I'll be showing three drawings. But don't worry these drawings are recent. These drawings are inked drawings. I hope you like them.


The first fan art is Miaka from the manga Fushigi Yugi. I read this back when I was 14. It was one of the first four manga that I read and I absolutley love it. I would have drawn my favourite character Nuriko, but that's a fan art for a different day. Miaka is I think probably one of the main female characters who goes through a lot. There are times where she she's frail and of course unable conquer some situation but there are times where she fights but does it in a way that's worth every moment. It has been a while since I read the manga but the plot will forever in my head. There was a certain point where I was all most moved to tears too. This is one manga that I'll most surely never forget because there was a huge depth of reality in this comic. It made me feel for a lot of the characters as well as her too. Plus this was set in a fantasy setting and Watase brings it to life in such a great way. I hope one day you get to read it. Maybe it may not be your cup of tea, but read it anyway. It was thanks to this manga that it sparked my immense interest in manga:

The next fan art for today is of Briony and Mercedes from the manga Once Upon A Time by Sonia Leong. This manga was published by Sweatdrop Studios. It was another manga that I read back in my teens but this was when the series was released as issues. I remember going to the London Anime Club back in 2004. The club was held at Hog's Head and it was held every last Sunday of the month. I went there largely to make friends but I was incredibly shy. It was also where I found out about Sweatdrop. I saw a lot of stand alone comics and well as volumes. There was the rare occasion where some of them would come down to visit and mingle. I met Sonia Leong here too. She's one of the first UK manga artists that I've met and come to respect a lot. It was through Sweatdrop that I found out about other members and also added myself to the forums. Sonia and the other members are in fact great people and I've come to admire them over the years. I think my interest in manga sparked a whole lot more because back then I found out that there were UK comic artists who were making comics ^_^:

The final fan art for today is Lilly Beecham from Her Cinderella Season by Deb Marlowe. I thought I'd draw her again because she gets to be with my favourite character Jack Alden. I thought I'd draw her from a side view which surprisingly looks very interesting. It'll be a while until another Regency novel but I felt it was the least that I can do to another fan art from this awesome novel:

There will be more fan art next week. Once again thank you for visiting my blog and as always please leave a comment. (o^_^o)
