Seagulls

Over the summer I have to do a summer project, which is a bit annoying as I kinda just wanna be lazy. So for my project we have to try and do something different from what we normally do. Like if you work in black and white alot work in colour, so I have decided to fill a little book with loads of little drawings of seagulls, as normally I draw from my own imagination.

Sorry I haven't been blogging as much as I used to been busy finishing my book for my final project for this year! As you can see this is the last page in the book where the monster are leaving the book ready to mess up the next book.

Random Monoprint!

Just thought I would upload a quick little monoprint today which I made while doing my FMP. Really like this little guy and think I might use him for somthing.

Pages 20 - 25

Made these yesterday and just thought I would pit them up to show you some of the work ive been doing over the half term. These images are some of the new pages for my FMP book I am making and which is almost ready to get printed soon, but it has been a very stressful time making it and still is. Justing hoping now that it will come out looking really good to make it worth all the effort I put into it. Will upload more pages and hopefully soon i will uploads some photos of the printed out books! =]

Page 10 + 11

This image is the first glipse you get off all the monsters in my FMP book and as you can see i want people to think oh i wonder what that one looks like and then later on they find out!

Pages 17 + 18

Another image for my FMP, but might have to re-do for a different pages. Really enjoyed doing this and while doing this have learn't more about photoshop.

Healty Heart Badge

My Uncle had a heart attack quite a few weeks back and I said I would make him a badge to cheer him up ages ago now (yeah I know i'm a bad nephew) so here is the design for the badge. Might make a set of get well soon badges and card to go with them over the summer!

Weird Badger Monster!

Just thought I would post this image I created on Illustrator or a weird badger monster! From doing this drawing, I have learn't how to use different drawn lines and I have learn't that I don't have to out line with the monster with a black line.

Matthew Robertson - Illustrator

When I was going round open houses on saturday I found this illustrators work hidden in the corner of one of the open house and feel in love with his drawings and polar bear figurines. Wish i could have afforded to buy one of his polar bears or a little painting, but it was all quite expensive. Anyways just thought I would let you know about his lovely work and heres his link to his website.

Page 36 + 44

These are two of the illustration from my FMP as you can see my illustrations are the monsters which are over the top of illustrations from The Secret Garden.

Think I need to explain what my final major project is about. What I am doing is taking an old Ladybird book (The Secret Garden) and attacking it with my own monsters, because my monsters thin its really boring and want to liven it up by destroying the story and having there own party in it. Thats a brief explanation and not a very good one at that so there you go!
