7 Day Challenge (June 2014)

Hello everyone! I hope you're having a great June as well as a good week so far. Today I'll be showing you a drawing challenge that I've made since last Wednesday. The challenge was created by '365-Days of Doodles'. He has made a drawing each day from January 1st up to this point and they are amazing. He's still going too. You can keep up to date with his drawing on his Facebook and Instagram page. He created this project on Deviantart and there have been so many people who have taken part. The last day was yesterday. So as a result of this I thought that I'd show you some drawing that I created during the week.


The first day was a Selfie. The task was to not only draw yourself but to also draw some of the thing that you am and not comfortable with. I showed 4 of the thing that I am comfortable with and some that  I am not comfortable with.:

The second day the theme was 'Something from the Ocean.' I thought I'd draw a range of creatures to fit the theme. I really enjoyed creating this drawing.

The third day was the theme 'My Favourite Mythical Creature' I thought I draw Medusa. Her story was quite interesting. Also I wanted to create some thing creepy.

The fourth day's theme was Gender Swap a famous character. In this drawing I thought I will Gender swap Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

The fifth's day's theme was Your favourite song title. My favourite song is 'Can't Help Falling in Love' The original song was sung by Elvis Presley. There was a cover version that was sung by UB40. I refer to this version because I was five when this song came out and I've loved it since.

The sixth day's theme was inanimate and animate. The task was to choose an object and make blend it with an animal. I thought I choose an Xbox 360 Controller with an elephant. Surprisingly I this drawing turned out better than what I expected.

The seventh and last day (which was yesterday) was to pick any object and make it into a human form. I chose to use a cupcake. She was inspired by Taeyang's new album Rise:

There were other drawings that I created either after or before I made these main drawings. I'll be showing them tomorrow.

Fan Art Friday: Inked Self-Portrait

Happy Fan Art Friday Everyone! Today, I'll be showing only one fan art. This fan art was creating using green pencil then blue coloured in for the tones.

This is a fan art of myself. Time after time I tend to change my hairstyles. The hairstyle that is shown here is the current hairstyle I have and it seemed to have suit me. Although this is a cartoon version. I quite like it:

I have created some more inked drawings in blue ink but these will be shown on Monday. This drawing will be shown on my deviantart page. Thank you for visiting my blog and please leave a comment.

Three Year Anniversary in Job and Initial Sketches for Manga Jiman Competition 2013

Hello Everyone! Today marks three years since I have been working as an Event Steward. To celebrate I created this digital drawing. This sketch was created during the second to last week of September, then edited on Photoshop:

Along side this drawing there was going to be a short silent story about one of the experiences that I had while in this job. But I couldn't do it since I have my Manga Jiman competition entry complete. So I felt that it would be better to show you the initial skteches for each of the characters that will be in the comic:

Here are the first initial sketches of the main character Laeticia:

* This is the chosen character design for the main protagonist Laeticia. Here are the facial expressions of this sketch:

The next main protagonist was the senior doctor Derek. This character I felt was very very difficult to do, the facial features were OK, but what I felt that was difficult was to find a suitable hairstyle for him. I did a couple while standing at the bus stop on the way home from church, the remainder of these sketches took place while I was at my lunch break at work and also during the train ride home. 

In total I made about twelve sketches, here it is:

From the sixth character design I created facial expression for each of them:

* The chosen character and facial design indicated here was at first going to be the chosen image. It was heavily influenced after I watched this cologne advertisement, while waiting for some music videos to appear. I was mesmerised on how this guy looked and  I felt he looked quite sleek. When I completing the sketches I decided to say 'No' because I felt the hairstyle was commonly used. I was left gutted decided to choose the last character design.

**After completing each character and facial expression, this chosen image which will be how Derek will be depicted I felt was the right one.

Only one character and facial expression design for one of the character Cain is shown here:

The final character for this Manga Jiman entry is the character SelenaMay:

*The initial sketch here is the chosen character for the manga. Here is the facial expressions:

I'm currently nearly finishing the comic in pencil. By the end of this week the pages will be inked and imported to photoshop for the next stages.
