Fan Art Friday: The Chocolate Show 2014, Lucy the Octopus and Tim from Not Going to Wondonia by Richy K. Chandler & Illustrated by Karen Rubins

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today I'll be posting three fan arts. One of them is based on an event, the other two is of stories that was written and drawn artists that I've met earlier this year. They all have the same background


The first fan art is of The Chocolate Show. I will be working there as a steward today at this show. I'm not sure of what to expect but I'm very excited. I decided to create this drawing of the three types of chocolate that I've eaten. This is Dark, Milk and White Chocolate. I thought that I'll express this in form of the characters that I've made at random in this drawing. I think this show is a family-based show so there might be a lot of children present. This might be very interesting. Another reason as to why I made this drawing is that this week is also National Chocolate Week and the show is to represent the climax.:

The next fan art is of the comic strip Lucy the Octopus by Richy K. Chandler. The comic strip has been going for quite a while and it's really good. I first met Richy at the Cartoon Museum earlier this year. He was teaching a class about comics and when we spotted each other. He showed me some of his issues of Lucy the Octopus and I was intrigued. He also done a Launch party of this comic and another two comics that he had written. One of stories is a fan art have a look after this drawing.:

The third and final fan art for today is of Tim from the story Not Going to Wondonia by Richy K. Chandler. The story was illustrated by the comic artist and illustator Karen Rubins. This story is part of a series of stories in an anthology called Tempo Lush Tales. All of them were written by him and illustrated by various of artists. This story is very interesting, Tim is a very humorous character he gets to learn about responsibility in a awesome way. Tim is portrayed here in the style of how he is visualised in the comic. I hope you like. If you would like to order some of Lucy the Octopus and Tempo Lush Tales then click here.:

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

The Blue Drawings of May

I hope you are having a good month in May so far. As promised here are the blue pictures that I've created during last week. These images came to mind as soon as the coloured pencil sketch was on the page. Next I used blue inked for tones of light and dark. This in the order of the first picture that I created to the last one that I done. These drawings are based on my daily sketches that I've been creating so far. I really hope you like them:

There might be a possibility that I'll be creating more of these but in a different colour. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

Fan Art Friday: Sailor Saturn from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi

Happy May and Happy Fan Art Friday . Today there will be only one fan art today. This fan art was created on Monday as a penc il sketch then changed on Photoshop.

Today's Fan art is of Sailor Saturn from Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. I read the next volume in the series and I really really enjoyed it. While creating the pencil sketch I was listening to one of Abba's tracks. This was 'Super Trouper'. The song inspired me to create this drawn and it even came to mind as I was reading the volume. I thought I'd keep the tradition of a space background. I hope you like it.:

Fan Art Friday: AyaTakeo Story by Lloyd Prentice and Illustrated By Sonia Leong and Goku from Dragonball by Akira Toriyama

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! I hope you're all having a brilliant month so far. Since I'll be reaching the final stages of my Manga Jiman Entry, I spared enough time to create at least two fan arts. Both of these are pencil sketches. the type of pencil that I used was a 2H Pencil.


The first fan art is of the webcomic and manga called AyaTakeo. The story was written by Llyod Prentice and Illustrated by Sonia Leong. The story itself it's absolutely incredble. I remember when it was a webcomic and I would wake up very early every Sunday to read the next page of the story. Sonia Leong is a brilliant Mangaka, and she's been doing comics for a long while. I've met her and she's lovely and brilliantly cool! I respect her not only as a person but as an artist. The drawing is of the main characters of the story as chibi and also in their human form in the background. I intentionally covered it up with the chibi characters. When I completed the picture I started to laugh and smiled.:

The next fan art is of Goku's younger self from the manga and anime Dragonball by Akira Toriyama. I thought I'd draw him again as I'll be reading the next volume. I'm very very excited about this. In fact I'm always excited whenever I read and old or new manga.

There will be more fan art! As always thank you so much for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

A Saturday Drawing from 2009!

Hi every one I thought I'd share a drawing that I did back from 2009. I looked back in my archive art work decided to show you one.
This sketch didn't really take me that long to do. (Roughly 5-10 minutes.) It's two kids eating doughnuts:

I might change it into a digital drawing or I might change it into a water colour painting. Who knows.

Dark and Light Project 2: Prelude to Mid-Summer Story 1/3

I quite enjoyed starting off this project because I ended up working a lot quicker and each page has a sense of beauty. There will be more information regarding the characters as well as the plot once I've completed it:

Late February to Late March

During the end of February to the end of this month I have been reading a lot of historical fiction watch some music videos and working on a project for a company that works woth youths from a young age until early twenties.

The first batch of drawings were loosely inspired by a historical romance novel called 'Gallant Officer, Forbidden Lady' by a well known Romance novelist Diane Gaston. This is in fact the second time that I have been inspired by this novelist's work and I can honestly say what drew me, to this novel was that the main protagonist Jack Vernon. He most certainly had a great and extraordinary mind to be an artist. His mind were always filled with everlasting images of a certain war that occurred within the novel. This was the first war, that left him with open scars of hatred and pain not only to his soul but also on one of the characters of which I won't mention. You'll have to read the book to find out. I admired him so much that he even went to the extent of recording what he visualised and pouring them into the cup of pages of his sketchbook. His studio were filled with mountains of sketchbooks.

This novel really did give me interest of Gaston as an auth

or and I will certainly keep up to date with her books.

Here are the drawings that inspired me while reading the book:

Coloured inks were used to add colour into the drawings.

These two drawing were modified on Photoshop. The first one takes reference to a camera photo on my old phone. As for the second drawing, it was derived from

a walk home after creating a batch full of drawings my mind began to sing some lyrics to a very popular song that was released this year. These were the lyrics: "So just put your hands, on me on skinny jeans, be your teenage dreams tonight" My mind then began to play the second drawing which is featured before your eyes right now.

These last two drawings were created from pastels, one which is of a gentleman in regency clothing and the other is of a fictional character called Wizadora, from my childhood:

The final task that I have been working on is a storyboard and character studies for a film for my client. So far the majority of the characters have been completed and I am

still working on the storyboard:
