.Mini.Project.

Setting myself project is one thing. Sticking to it is a whole new story!

So I've set myself a project which I will be forced to stick to as it will be in my face everyday and inexcusable. I've hand made another mini sketch book which I have labeled 'A Doodle A Day' you get the idea of the project from the title. Starting from February 1st 2011 I will be doodling one thing a day in this book until it's complete, not matter how good or bad the doodle may be I will do it.

This book is only small so it won't seem like a big task every time I doodle, also it will keep me drawing everyday and possible lead to ideas for other drawings.

.Valentines.

Attack of the mushy pictures. As everyone know valentines day is coming up fast and val card designs are always good for selling. I'm put off by the very idea of the day because it is purely about profit....I am also taking advantage of this. So here are a few designs I will be printing on to cards to sell at The Art Box in Hull if any ones interested.

.Checkmate.

Quick idea for a competition with the theme Yorkshire Wolds. When I here that phrase all i think of is fields...and I think that pretty boring. So I tried to make this idea comical to brighten things up a bit.

'Checkmate'

Water colours.

.Drum.Guy.

Continuing on with my quest to create strange and ridiculous creatures based on musical instruments, my next instalment is Drum Guy. ( line work below, soon to be coloured )

.The.Finished.Image.

Remember a while back I said I was work on a HUGE painting? well 'big' painting, I don't usually do them this big. Anyway! so far I've only posted snippets of pictures and photo's of it but now I've finally finished it :) So below is the finished piece!.

This picture was started as a thing to keep me going on the creative stuff while I had a art block, now that it's finished I'm considering entering it in to the Ferrens open exhibition.

.Website.

Finlay got my website finished :) it's not my own domain yet but it's a start! So get on down there and check it out :).

.Free.Stuff.For.All!.

Ha ha! made you look...

Mr.Guitar in full colour, playing his music to the worlds eagerly awaiting ear drums. This image is digitally coloured in a new way of using tools that I've only just found out how to use (why 'only just' I have no idea because this could of helped me a lot in the past).

Rest assure I will most defiantly be using this colouring style more in the many creative days to come. Later on I will get round to doing the same image styles but with acrylics and good old fashion paintbrushes and sponges, to get a contrast and find out which way of colouring works best for me.

TA DA!

.Mr.Guitar.

Here is the line drawing of my latest idea!

Characters based on musical instruments and types of music, this is Mr.Guitar and he's strumming away.

I'm going to experiment with a digitally colouring technique and a hand painted version, depending on which looks best i will use that coloring technique for the next image.

.next.

Working on MORE new drawings, these could lead to a series of drawings, I'll post the line drawing and coloured digital version in my next blog watch this space!!!!!!

P.S note to myself I should really finish stuff before starting new stuff!

.2011.

So! New year has started!!! and i have officially created a new folder for my 2011 art work the image below is the first I have created this year.

Only a small, simple image but it was an experiment with some new watercolours and a new drawing book of hand made paper.

I hope this is the start to a newly found inspiration that could grow as the year progresses!

.Short.Speech.

Happy 2011! This year hopes to be a promising one for creativity and re-newed inspiration. After my break away from creativity i feel that once i start to create again it will be awesome :) during my break I have been continuing with the acrylic painting as it's a no brain'er and already planned, still you won't see the full image until it's totally finished HA!

So good lucky to everyone pursuing their dreams this year!
