Summer Story: Angie's Forward Flip 2/3

Hello Everyone, I hope you're all having a good week so far. I thought I'd share another two pages worth of the Summer Story: Angie's Forward Flip. As you can see here it has been inked in orange ink pens. I think you can probably guess the colour tone it would be in. It is in it's last stages and will be finished soon so please bear with me. Here are the pages:

It looks quite interesting to see the drawing in front. I'm surprised of how much I've improved, since the first set of pencil sketches.

Hmm... It seems that I should have take extra care when I was drawing...still never the less it still looks OK. I'm I love what I've done with these two so far.

The final images will be shown in it's greater glory and scanned to it's perfection when it's completed. I can't wait to show you all.

Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment I would love to know what you think!

XXXholic Fan Art

Hello again, since I have a huge habit of creating fan art I thought I'd show you a fan art based on a Manga called XXXholic. It was created using pencils and watercolour paints. This is based on the last Tsubasa Resevior Chronicle fan art that I created in 2011 for a UK comic book artist. It has been an anime and also a drama, which was shown in Japan within the beginning of this year. ( I think?) I have been reading the manga since 2008 and I have loved it since. My favourite character is the main protagonist Kimihiro Watanuki. I have to admit I was a bit iffy about it at first but realizing that it was created by favourite Mangaka CLAMP, I gave in and read it. I was surprised by the mass amount of humour in the first volume that I decided read the rest. So far I need to read volumes 16 and 19 which is the last volume. I have heard that the series has continued this year but I chosen to wait until I've finished these two. It will indeed take a while but it will be worth it.

I hope you like it:

This fan art will be a gift to a friend of mine who is abroad right now and I hope to give this to her when she gets back. She has done a blog of her trip around south-east Asia and more.

Summer Story: Angie's Forward Flip! (^_^) 1/3

Hello Everyone, I hope you are having a great and decent time during the month of June. I thought I'd let you know that the continuation of the Winter Story, will in fact be a Summer Story. But it will be still be based on Angie, who it one of the close friends of Rae. It is still in the works but it will be finished very soon. There are about 24 small pages in total. I thought that I'll show you the first stage of sketches in 2B and HB pencils. Although a mass amount of smudges were made throughout the process, it didn't stop me from producing. (^_^ ) Here are two pages of different parts of the story. Enjoy:

I'm immensely pleased with these scenes that I had to show it to you.

I was also quite proud of these scenes too. I'm really looking forward to what it would look like in colour.

Mascot Characters for Memenda-Seven from Daily Sketches

Here are a few sketches of a mascot that I am currently creating for company Memenda-Seven. This will be added to another form that I created located on the left hand side of my Deviant art page. After making these ones I'm still not sure, so I will be making more as part of my daily sketches of the month:

Daily Sketches from Early Jan to April 2013

Hey Everyone! Since the next installment of the winter story is still within the works, I thought I'd show you a couple of sketches that I created from early January to late April. There's a possibly that I've made over 50 drawings so there will be some moments within the months were a lot of these will be posted. I will creating more for the next couple of months to get better in drawing. These sketches are based on people of whom I see everyday, of places and paintings of where I have been and of things that come to mind.

 These are some of the sketches that I made from February to April:

Snow Story from Late 2012

Hello Everyone, sorry for the long hiatus. I felt pretty bad for not posting up any work so to make up for lost time I decided to post up what I did throughout late November and December. This is a Short nineteen page story about three characters from a comic that I made up back in 2009. These three girls Rae (frizzy hair), Demi (short hair) and Angie (long hair) decided to do something fun and exciting during the Christmas Period. Although in London it did not snow but in areas of the world were filled with snow, I felt that the least I could do was do a snow story. It is inked in monochromatic blue drawing in and the outline in 0.7 fine blue pen. Here are the first twelve images:

                                                                                  










Here are the remaining nine images:

There will be a continuation of the story. This one will be based on Rae's friend Angie and a particular period of the past. This will be shown hopefully if it snows in London. I assume that it would be in February because it is during this month that it gets much much colder. 

(^o^)14th Day Christmas Pictures!(^_^)

As a lead-up to my 25th birthday, I decided that every month on the 14th, I will create and post an image on my blog, this will be based on what comes to mind, what I have seen from the first week, on TV, DVD's or places that I have been around London. This month I have chosen to create a Christmas drawing since it will be next week where Christmas will finally arrive. It's of a drawing of an angel that lives on top of the tree and meets another ornament which has floated around the house. (You'll probably realise this already or not but the ornament or the right reminds me of Steve Jobs in his younger days.... He didn't really come to mind while I was drawing this picture but as I coloured the image, I saw a bit of a resemblance.) This image is in water-colour paints and inked in black ink:

The next drawing is a Secret Santa for a particular forum member on a website called Sweatdrop. This forum member has a web comic called FanDanGo that begun in 2009 and is still going today. She is part of a group called Indie Manga and has created some great comics so far. Since she is a fan of Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle, I decided to do a fan art of this series. It's written by a five female manga artists called CLAMP, where each of them create various fragments for one series. They are also the artist who create one of my favourite manga, called xxxholic. It's a different story however it's a cross-over of Tsubasa and the same scenes in Tsubasa are portrayed quite differently in this comic. The main characters are drawn in Christmas clothes:

The final drawing, is a another fan-art for Deb Marlowe. This is another retrospective picture of two brothers (Charles and Jack) who have found their love (Sophie and Lily) in two of the authour's books. (Scandelous Lord, Rebellious Miss and Her Cinderella Season) It's has a Christmas theme and I was inspired by visiting The Museum of London. As usual I visited the Pleasure Garden's section of the Museum and sketched the clothes with an orange coloured pencil. When I got home I inked and used water colour paints the drawing. Towards the end of this week, the image will be sent to Deb:

On a side note, I created this impressionist drawing of myself to celebrate my 24th birthday last month, I've abandoned black in this drawing and used blue. Also I portrayed myself wearing my Front of House uniform that I wear at work:
