Fan Art Friday: Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin by A.A Mile and Disney & Fabian and Iselle from A Pocketful of Clouds by Morag Lewis

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be posting two Fan arts. Both of them were pencil sketches then changed on Photoshop. Both drawings have the theme of blue sky and clouds.

The first fan art is of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin. I grew up watching the series when I was very young and it is another childhood favourite. The series of when I first saw them both was called 'The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh'. The series was fun to watched and I loved theme song. I came across the books much later in my childhood. Also I had a video tape that included not only these two characters but also some of the other characters. The name of the cartoon was called "Winnie The Pooh and the Blustery Day'. What was awesome about this cartoon was because in the beginning where the credits were shown, Christopher Robin's room was created into reality. Of course it was just for the video but. It did spark my imagination back then and I remember as if I saw it yesterday.  There was a book version of the cartoon too.:

The second and final art work for today is of Fabian and Iselle from the webcomic 'A Pocketful of Clouds' by Morag Lewis. I have been reading the webcomic for quite a while and I thought that it would be great to create another fan art of this comic. I don't want to give to much away of these two characters but these two are siblings. If you would like to have a look at the webcomic click here. The drawing is portrayed differently to what I thought of. But either way I'm happy.:

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

Fan Art Friday: Pokemon by Satoshi Tajari & Nintendo

Happy Fan Art Friday everyone! I hope you've had a brilliant week. Today's drawings will be about some new and old drawings of the anime and game Pokemon. I'm sure a lot of you are aware of how much it has expanded since it has first began back in the mid-90's. Both the anime and game are really good.

I came across the anime first back in 1999. It was shown on SM:TV Live and the plot always excited me. What appealed to me was not only the art but the stories that were revealed in every episode. I remember the arrival of Ash Kechum and Pikachu as well as the arrival of his competitor who was always a step ahead of him Gary. 

This was the second anime that I spotted after the Tenchi Muyo/Universe series. Since I already enjoyed the Tenchi series and Pokemon had similar features as in look. I thought that it would be wonderful to watch. Since the programme was broadcasted in the UK, I watched the English dub. I really loved the voice actors and actresses who played the main characters. They made the series very fun, exciting and emotional.

Due to the fact that I really enjoy the series I began buying some of the merchandise and also drew some of the Pokemon. Also some of the characters. The drawings that I drew went on to the extent that I included it in most of my work in school. I even made a fan fiction of some of the characters and included a new character. I always took reference to the person who created the series. However I did not play the game until the early 2000's. The game was very appealing.

The first drawing that you see below is the a colour drawing of Pikachu that I created a couple of weeks back. It looks pretty good.:

The following drawings are some of the Pokemon that I drew when I was 12. Most of its references were from a 2000 year calendar that I had. I used it to remember all (back then) 150 Pokemon. This was a huge success for me:

There will be something that I'll be showing not only on my blog but somewhere else on Wednesday so please look forward to it.

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please leave a comment. \(^o^)/

Fan Art Friday: Woody and Little Bo Peep from Toy Story 1, 2 & 3 by Pixar, Rosie and Jim by Ragdoll Productions, Sooty by Harry Corbet and BBC Proms 2014

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone, today I'll be showing you four drawings. These are all created usuing pencil the inked in orange ink. It's sort of like the other drawings that I created in blue. I hope you'll like them.


The first drawing is of Woody and little Bo Peep from Toy Story 1, 2, and 3 by Pixar. The movies that they have created so far has always been brilliant and I think the one that stands so far for me is the very first one. I was seven years old when this movie came out. Although I never watched it in the cinema, my father bought it for myself and my brothers when it was released on video. There was a lot of merchandise of Toy Story back then. Other than Woody I've always love Bo Peep. She was his girlfriend. There were small snippets of the love appearing from time to time. The music to the film has always made me smile. The theme song to the film was some brilliant. Now it'll be probably be weird of me saying this but I have yet to watch the third movie. I still haven't watched it. ^_^; However the reason as to why I wanted to draw these two was because some time this year I hope to read a new book that was written by someone from Pixar. Also it seemed necessary to pay homage to Toy Story movies. There were a couple of documentaries back in the early 2000's of how a the movie came together and I always find this fascinating. So here's the drawing. It was drawing from memory:

The next fan art is of Rosie and Jim by Ragdoll Productions. This was another programme that I watched during my primary school days. It was very interesting to watch and I guess it was probably one of the shows that I really enjoyed from Ragdoll Productions. From what I can remember from my child hood there were two boat narrators. There was a catch. Both of them were children's Illustrators. The first one communicated with the audience and told stories about where he was going as well as making stories involving Rosie and Jim. The second narrator had left me quite astounded back then. This boat narrator was in fact a female. She created an illustration before she left the boat and when she returned. Rosie and Jim seemed to be present within the drawings but the illustrator had a great habit of hiding the other character Duck. From there it was up to us to find where he was. I admired her for the was she illustrated both of them. She was one of the earliest Illustrators of my childhood to appear on TV and draw. The troubled thing about this was that I'd forgotten her name. So here's Rosie and Jim in monochromatic orange:

The next fan art is of Sooty, Sweep and Soo from the series Sooty. The character Sooty was created by Harry Corbet. This was another great show to watch when I was young and it was always exciting. This series has stood out from many generations because the younger generation of to day now know who Sooty is. There were always things he and Sweep get into that seemed to be very funny. Soo also played a part in this too. The programme that I saw that featured Sooty, Sweep and Soo was Matthew Corbet and he was the one that I can remember really well in most of the shows. Today there's a recent show with the same name but with someone else. He's name is Richard. This drawing includes Sweep, Soo and Sooty himself.:

The fourth and final fan art for today is of BBC Proms 2014. It begins today and I thought that it would be great to draw a very young conductor trying to  draw the orchestra within the music. Today I was listening to Woman's Hour and involved some violinists and cellists from the Chinese Philharmonic Orchestra who will be taking part in BBC Proms. I felt inspired to draw this even thought there's a small link to it.:

Next week will mark a year since I've started Fan Art Friday. Hopefully by then I'll reveal where or not I will continue. Thanks for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Button Moon by Ian Allen, Wimbledon 2014 Pegasus Maximillion from Yu-Gi-Oh by Kazuki Takahashi and Competition Entry: Carly by me and Alan by Fi-Di

Happy July and Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be posting up four drawings. All of these drawings were pencil sketches then modified on photoshop. Two of the drawing have a space-dreamy theme.

The first drawing that I'll be showing today is of Mr Spoon, Mrs Spoon and Tina-Tea Spoon from the children's programme Button Moon. In this programme the characters are made up of everyday utensils. Each episode reveals an adventure of what Mr Spoon and his family go through. These episodes are quite interesting. I'm amazed of this show is put together. The programme was broadcasted on Thames TV back in the early 80's. Just like the programme Rainbow. The show was also shown the early 2000's on Nick Jr classics. I'm very impressed with this drawing and I'm very happy and pleased that I'll be showing it to you.:

The next drawing is based on Wimbledon 2014. It been going really well so far. I am quite gutted that Murray didn't get through nevertherless. It is an interesting to watch. Back in 2012, I worked at Wimbledon. This was during the Olympics. Seeing Wimbledon now made me miss working there. Even one of my friends asked if I was working there this year. One was because I felt that it is good for anyone to find a sport and play. It really doesn't matter how old you are. I'm looking forward to see how Wimbledon will end. It is very very exciting:

The next drawing is of Pegasus Maximilllion from the anime and manga Yu-Gi-Oh. He's another very interesting character in the series and he came to mind as I drew in as a pencil sketch. He's actually a villain in the first series. In the manga he's seen the the second series Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist. I've only read up to volume 3 or 4 and I've yet to see what will happen oto Yugi and his friends. or what plans Peagasus will unnfold. Just like Seto Kiba. He's a millionaire. In this drawing, I drawn him from memory. It is almost accurate...almost. I thought that I will do a gold background with beige sparks. Here it is:

The fourth and final fan art of today is of Carly and Alan. On Deviantart there's an artist that I'm following. Her name is Fi-Di and she is from Italy. She has created a huge wave of characters for the past couple of years. She's created a competition called 'Date My Character'. She has asked  fan of per FB page, to chose a character created by her and use their own character. The characters should even hang out together or be doing something that it is quite interresting. In my cotest entry. I used my character Carly from a project that I did a couple of years ago with Fi-Di's character Alan. I drew a space-dreamy background for this drawing. It would be great if you could vote for this picture on FB.:

There will be more fan art next week. Thank you for visiting and please write a comment! \(^0^)/

Fan Art Friday: Competition Entry: World Cup 2014 and Shop Fox

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! It's the final Friday of June! Today I'll be showing two fan arts. Both of them were created with pencil then modified on Photoshop. Plus one on them is a competion entry.


The first one a competition entry which is based on the World Cup. I thought that I pay homage to England. Since the competition rules had to represent some thing from the place that I'm living it seemed necessary. I also created the lions around the drawing. This is because on their shirts, they have three lions. Children were chosen for the drawing too. I still wanted to keep a happy tone with this drawing so I kept the drawings with light colours and a few dark colours. Also I added clouds too. I hope you like it.:

The second and last fan art of today is of the blog website ShopFox. One of my friends who has already made a blog about her travels around south-east asia has created another about cafe's in Crouch End. The cafes that she mentions that she talks about are very interesting and fun. She also has drawing and photos describing the cafes she's visited. I thought that I will draw her cartoon form and in a fox form. This drawing will be another gift to her. There are two versions of this drawing. What you are seeing here is the second version. I'll be showing the other one during the month of July:

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

Fan Art Tuesday: Gwyneth Herbert from Alex Horne Presents The Horne Section (Updated!)

Happy Tuesday everyone! As promised here is the picture that I'll posting here on the blog today. The drawing was originally a pencil sketch then watercolour paints were added then changed on to Photoshop.

Sometime in March I got a free ticket to go to BBC Broadcasting house for a radio recording of The Horne Section. This programme is presented by the comedian Alex Horne. Alongside Alex there's his band that play a different range of music. Most of music that features on the programme tend to have lyrics which are very amusing.  This left me in heaps of laughter. There are two special guests who tend to appear on the show. One of them was Gwyneth Herbert . I quite liked Gywneth's singing another thing that I quite like about her was that for one of the songs that she was going to perform, she asked the audience to take part. With Alex's Horne's band taking part, in playing part it was truly amazing.

Another thing that happened was that some of band members had songs that they shared with the audience too and that was awesome. Alex sung too and he seemed to be quite heroic in his singing. (That was a good thing too):

Here's the link to the episode, click here.

Here's the drawing of Gywneth. I drew this from memory and it is somewhat accurate.:

There will be the usual Fan Art Friday drawings that will appear this Friday. Stay tuned for that! Thanks for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Kero from Cardcaptor Sakura by CLAMP and Madame Butterscotch by Lisa Cummins

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone. Today I'll be posting up two fan arts. These two were pencil sketches then changed one to Photoshop.

The first Fan art is of Kero From the manga and anime Cardcaptor Sakura by CLAMP. I've had the chance to read at least three of the volumes from the series and as for the anime I've watched all of the episodes of the anime. I love Kero's Osaka dialect and there's an interesting why. He's also loves food and he is incredibly funny. As you can see here in the picture I drawn him quite well. but the only thing that is missing is that I've forgotten to add the wings on his back. (~_~)

 Nevertherless, it still looks pretty good:

The second and final fan art fot today is of Madame Butterscotch by Lisa Cummins. I thought I'd draw her in a smily and cute way. This because in the manga she hardly smilies. I can't say why but you'll have to read the manga to find out. I began reading this manga back in December and I quite like it a lot. I thought that it would be good to create a fan art and pay homage to the manga. I quite like what I did for this drawing is that She really comes to life in the drawing:

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

Saturday Drawings!

Good Morning Everyone! Today I thought I'd post up two drawings that I did this year. One of them was completed yesterday and the other was completed sometime this year:

The first sketch was created because I wanted to draw something different. I thought that an elf girl reading would be something cool.

The second digital drawing is based on a dream that I had this week of when I spoke to someone regarding a fairy competition. It never happened in reality. But I was quite intrigued and so I created the drawing.


























I'm not so sure if I'll post up more next Saturday but we'll just have to wait and see.

Fan Art Friday: Competition Entries

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be posting up one fan art. This is for a competition. Both of them were created as pencil sketches then changed and improved on photoshop.


The first one is of a crime fiction called the Hattrick Detective By InkyRose. I read a case from this series sometime last year. I really enjoyed it and I thought I do something based on the series. One of the stories that I read was called 'The case of the Tear-away Train. The very first pencil sketch wasn't to my best interest so I decided to work even more hard to complete it in it's first stages. Although you see here is the completed version, the pencil sketch was a success.
This version took me most of the afternoon until 8pm on sunday. It was worth every moment:

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

Fan Art Friday: Nonoko from My Neighbours The Yamadas by Hisachi Ishii and Isao Takahata and Mr Bump From Mr Men and Little Miss by Roger Hardgreaves

Happy April and Happy Fan Art Friday! Today I'll be showing two fan arts. Both of them were pencil sketches and the changed and modified on Photoshop.

The first fan art is of Nonoko from the movie My Neighbours the Yamadas by Isao Takahata. This was a Studio Ghibli movie that I watched back in 2011 and I really really enjoyed it. I laughed so much and the songs were pretty good too. From doing a bit more research I found out the original comic is by Hisachi Ishii. My favourite character is Nonoko so I thought that it would be awesome if I draw her. While studying Japanese I decided to watch the DVD again and what I noticed is that there are a couple of words that I understand. I was absolutely thrilled.:

The second and final fan art for today is of Mr Bump from Mr Men and Little Miss by Roger Hardgreaves. I remember in my childhood reading the books as well as watching the series. It was hilarious. There were moments were I marvelled of the things that each of these characters go through. Mr Bump is my favourite. I got a key chain of him. The pencil sketch of Mr Bump was not to my best effort so I decided to make some improvements on Photoshop. I thought I create him with a happy smile. This was a success:

There will be more Fan Art next week. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment. Have a brilliant month. (^_^)

Fan Art Friday: Ando Natsu

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone. Today I'll be showing only one fan art today. This fan art was created using Photoshop, however it was previously a pencil sketch.

Today's fan art is about a `Japanese drama called Ando Natsu. It is all about a girl of the same name who embarks on becoming an apprentice of a Japanese sweet shop. This shop is called Mangetsudo. She learns how to create these sweets with the help of a veteran who is an expert in this trade. It is a brilliant series and I enjoyed each episode. My favourite is episode five. This is because there was an immense friendship between with the people of Asakusa. The sweets created in this series are amazingly authentic and there is a sense of happiness and joy when a person eats them. The theme song is sung by Monkey Majik:

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

Fan Art Friday: The Foundation of Love Tree Chase in the Garden of Life inspired by the music of Westlife

Happy Valentines Day and Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone. To celebrate this special day I thought I'd show that 26 page story. It was created using an HB pencil, a metallic ruler and a 0.7 pen. Also I used coloured inks such as black, red, orange and white and combine them together to make different shades of brown.

The concept of this was created back in 2009 when I was waiting at a bus stop. I was listening to a track called 'Reach Out'. As I was listening to this song, this story was visualised in my head. I thought I combine history and contemporary together. There is another version of these two characters. Click here to see how they looked like previously. There are no words in this story so you'll have to look at the images to know what the story is all about. I hope you like it:

 Here are the rest of the images:
