More Sketches (part 2)!

Here are some more:

More Sketches!

I have created some more sketches of clothing from the Pleasure Garden at The Museum of London. I also did a portrait from the National Portrait Gallery.

New Competiton: Manga Jiman 2010: Part One

A new Manga Jiman competition has now begun, so I have now decided to enter again but this time I might enter more than one entry. The first one, will be based on a past memory* of Kylan, who is one of the bullies who abused Petra.

This is how he would be visualised as a child and in his late teens I also have created various facial expressions that will be used for the comic:

*I thought of that this will be necessary because this entry, because I yearned to do something in a boy's point of view so this entry is heavily based about him.

Brain drawings and Clothing sketches at the British Museum and The Museum of London

After the ending of my degree course, I decided to use my leisure not only to find a job but also improving on my drawing skills as well as reading. During the first week that I finished my degree I managed to meet up with my old friend form secondary school that recommended me to read some Historical Romance novels.

After reading about four of these novels, (where three of the four were set in the regency era and the last one in the Victorian era) I decided to do some research of clothing that were based in these tow eras. This led me to visit the Museum of London and to do sketches of clothing.

I checked out an area of the museum called the pleasure gardens, and was so surprised of the clothing that was shown that I decided to commence sketching. For the next two days I sketched about five designs of clothing and I have to

say that drawing them felt like a breath of fresh air.

Here are the images:

On the other hand I also took a trip to The British Museum and did some brain drawings, of some of the objects that were featured on a BBC radio 4 show called A History of the World in 100 Objects.

Here are some of them:

Competitions 2009/2010

During this month, I have submitted some images for some competitons that were are around one of them is on a website called Life Support. This is how it looked like:

This entry is based on the ways that you can benefit from the recession.

Another competition, is called the Kiseki Competition. Kiseki is a magazine in South Australia that reviews works on Manga and Anime drawings. The competition is international, so you can check it out and see if you can submit.

Here is my Entry:

This entry is based on how human relationships can begin from a strong foundation, for example it begins from the roots and grows into a tree. The couple shown here symbolises this.

Another competition that I have also entered was called the Manga Jiman competition that has taken place last year. All entries had to be based on 'The Sun' Since Japan is the first country to have the sun. My Entry was based on a girl called Rae, who tries to catch the sun. Here is how the protagonist is visualised:

The book will be published, with the help of a friend called Chris Bottoms. Who is a self- published artist in comics.

Finally after the Manga Jiman competition, I asked for some feedback from some of the Judges. This was from a well known comic book artist called ILYA.

Final Major Project: The Escapist (Part 5)

I have now completed the images in coloured inks, here are four examples which are sections from the story:

Once these have been completed, I will choose one and apply it on to the front covers. The book will be formed on book smart and be published. I will also remove some of the images from the story because I have realised that not all of the images do not have to be seen.

Final Major Project: The Escapist (Part 4)

So far, I have sketched out the story sequences in pencil, they will be coloured in coloured inks.

Here are two examples:

Also there will be a likely chance that I will be creating A5 postcards or prints of each of the characters. The concept came to be as I stepped out of the bus on a Thursday afternoon on my

 way home from university. I visualised a girl with her own signature textured pattern expressed in her hair, eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. The only areas that would be left white would be her skin. These Prints have been completed, here are Kylan and Ria as the first two examples:

When the drawing were completed in an 0.8 fineliner, I decided to create the signature design here are Kylan and Ria's signature pattern design:
