.chi-bi.

Continuing with chi-bi's and i'm working on more :) it's fun and they look cool. can you guess who these two drawings are?

.A.Bunch.O.Stuff.

It seems the Alice picture has been put on hold for a while as I've had to work on images for booklet/mini exhibition called What Hull Means To Me. Here is the second image for that, the first image I didn't like much but I like this one a bit more.

..and to continue with the chibi drawings here is my latest one. They are fun to draw and simple enough to colour and i think they look cool :)

.Comparing.Styles.

After re-assessing the situation and approaching water colours with a different style here is what I got as the end result.

I would appreciate feedback, good or bad as it always helps. Me myself I like this new style, it suits this purpose more and even though I also like the other style that one suits limited things but work sometimes.

.Race.For.Life.

This year I have decided to once again take part in the Race For Life. I will be walking it (because I haven't been training this year) with my sister and mum, we will all be wearing feather boa's, fairy wings and face paint. It;s all in the name of raising money for Cancer Research, so if anyone feels kind enough to sponcer me here is the link to my online sponser page http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/rebeccaedenruns Thanx to all that donate as every pennt counts! and to those who are also taking part good luck raising money and have fun! x

.Reading.Space.

The final acrylic on canvas painting finished! Here are a few close up shots of the picture and some of the smaller details on it, i've called the image 'Reading Space' It will eventualy be for sale somewhere if anyone is interested but for now it resides in my room waiting for me to do more painting to put with it. :)

.Current.Projects.

Here is my second idea for the FireFox competition, simple but quirky.

...And here is the acrylic picture i'm working on at the moment, lots more work to be done on it, but it's getting there :)

.FireFox.

Finishing off my last sock monster ( for now ) and wokring on ideas for a FireFox compertition, this is my fist idea going back to my messy paint look with outlines, what do ya'll think so far?

.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.

.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 )

.Advice.

..So true. Bur like Alice 'I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it'

.Illogical.

After going back to basics and taking up good old fashioned pencil drawing once again, it has inspired me to start working on another picture book. Usually I write the story, research elements, re-write and work parts THEN do the illustration. This technique seems the logical way of doing things and most people would take this route, but I'm not most people and love to be illogical :) so I'm doing it backwards..

The plan is, continue drawing pencil sketches relating each one to the previous drawing there for creating a story line by letting it fall in to it's own path. Once I think the images have reached an end i will organise them in to a story line and add text if necessary and see what the end product looks like!

Here are a few of the drawings and doodles I've done in the last few days...

.NEoN.

After many doodles and brain scratching idea's I finally decided I'd designed enough characters for the NEoN character t-shirt design competition. Here are a few doodle stages and final images for you to feast your eyes on.

..Zombie..

Last minute project I thought I'd have a go at, for an online magazine asking for zombie images. I've never drawn zombies before so it was something new and very fun to do I thought. I managed to get 3 images drawn up in one day but only one coloured so far, and as the time span between me finding out about the competition to when the competition ended was 3 days I think I've done well to get even this far. Here is the stage of the first zombie, already send off to the competition, if I get the others done in time I will also send them.

.Calender.

The time has come yet again to think of idea's for a calender, this year I've come up with two themes one of which is inspired by a nameless individual. The idea i have NOT shown here is slightly disturbed and may offend some people. This idea below is a calender based on my 'Hoodie' character in themes suited for each month either based on the weather or holidays which happen. These are just quick line drawings for the first four months (they are not in order) and they will continue to be digitally coloured later on.

.Slow.Progress.

The last few days I have been struggling with ideas to put in my 'This is not a sketchbook' sketchbook. Along with continuing to colour the image of 'cyanide slippers' nothing much has been happening in an art sense. These are the latest doodles in the book, very simple and I have yet to do more with them, they are a work in progress as are many other doodles in the book which all need to be coloured or something.

.sketch.book.project.

Here are a few photo's from my sketchbook project starting points! I had no idea what to put on the first page so I started in the middle of the book! :)

B.U.G.S

Today I've been doodling some bugs that could be used as possible paintings for tomorrows Art in the Park thing. They are made up from different bugs... I'm not sure which, but I like them. I'm going to draw some more simaler images but in more detail and have them coloured. Here are the doodles from today.

Business Cards.

Finally come up with a business card design that i think suits every aspect of my work, my previous designs only represented a small part of my work ( e.g children's or adults ) But i think this one works all round. I sent off for them this morning and will hopefully get them in a week.

One Of Them Days

Yer, today HAS been one of them days when all technology seems to fail, and your mind lays heavy, your trail of thought is non-existent and you might as well be sat with a giant fish on your head. So this is what I got at the end of a day when i had a very annoying cold, after looking at it for more then 3 minutes I decided that it might look good on a t-shirt, so I'm going to try it out on different colours and templates to see what I get.

Myspace Page

Hi, ever since I started my account on Myspace I've never found a layout/background image that I've really liked and I've FINALLY got around to drawing one myself :) The only problem is that it's on a huge piece of cardboard and I've only got an a4 scanner and a bad camera, so....I've ended up scanning it in bits and sewing them all together on Photoshop.

The original image is a mixture of collage, spray paint, acrylic and marker pen, I might add more colour on digitally later.
