Found this old idea for a Spectre poster while going through some random papers on my desk. Thought I'd have a go at tarting it up a bit! Going to take it in to digital soon and then we'll see about actually making a poster out of the thing... ▫️ #spectre #007 #jamesbond #film #conceptart #film #poster #posterdesign #shootingtarget #tentacles

Western Penguin! Scroll through to see the final image. Had a lot of fun on this one, definitely going to have to try my hand at some Firefly images in the future... Friend seemed happy with it as well which is good, even though I got the colours on the left (penguins right) flipper the wrong way round! It was nice to finally finish something though, let's hope it starts something 😉 #western #penguin #penguinsofmadagascar #sheriff #firefly #sketchaday #sketch #unipin #saloon #watercolour #watercolorartist #watercolorart #watercolor #whsmith #adeliepenguin #finished #pencil #underdrawing #aquarelle

Concepts and a watercolour test for a "Western Penguin" a friend asked for. It started out as a Wild West meets the Penguins of Madagascar type thing but I quickly realised it would work better if I went for a more realistic look. The final image will coming up soon... #penguin #penguinsofmadagascar #wildwest #conceptart #sheriff #sixshooter #ammobelt #underdrawing #tests #watercolour #watercolor #watercolorpainting #waterblog #aquarelle #sketchaday #sketch #paintings #watercolorart #sketchbook #pencil

Color of Loss Challenge Entry. First time participating in a Draw with Jazza challenge and it was quite helpful that it was just colouring in I think! Quite happy with how it came out, my main concern was making the woman ethereal without going cliché!

New project! And a new sketchbook! Been trying to work up the courage to actually put pencil to paper in this one for aaaages and finally came up with the perfect excuse. This is prep for the first in a series of images, can you tell what it's going to be? (The sketchbook cover might be a clue...) #sketch #ink #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #fantasyart #pencildrawings #newproject #journey #111st #lotr #startingout #moleskine

#inktober Day 27 "Hidden" Did this one while I was ill in the last few days of October and never posted it but having looked at it again I quite like it so why not! #inktober2017 #hidden #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #late #gondolin #ondolindë #greenpen

#inktober Day 25 "Reality" Bit rushed on this one, but tried to get a virtual reality vibe going. Took me a while to come up with what the virtual stuff was going to be but then I thought, what would I most likely to see? And realised the answer was lounging in a pool overlooking Hawaii... #inktober2017 #reality #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #virtualreality #beach #hawaii #loungingaround

#inktober Day 24 "Memory" Went with a favourite memory for this, and a more recent one than some previous sketches! So this is me and Kelly after getting the keys for our new house. #inktober2017 #memory #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #house #newhouse #keys #stillneedtoweedthefrontgarden

#inktober Day 22 "Wreck" Continuing on the space theme, a wrecked Star Destroyer! Getting a bit more confident with the brush pen as well, having used it for the smoke in the previous and the sand here. Better late than never! #inktober2017 #wreck #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #starwars #stardestroyer #jakku #theforceawakens

#inktober Day 21 "Flight" Following on from yesterday's childhood dream, I figured I'd go with what it would look like if that cane true... Please ignore the nose of the shuttle, the perspective is horrible. #inktober2017 #flight #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #spaceshuttle #enterprise #space #nasa #takeoff

#inktober Day 20 "Dream" When I was a kid, I used to watch Apollo 13 and then lie against my chest of drawers and pretend I was in the shuttle during liftoff. This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the prompt, and it's still making me smile now. #inktober2017 #dream #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #apollo13 #space #pretend #astronaut #spaceshuttle #takemetospaceplease

#inktober Day 18 "Sword" Was going for the sword glowing and lighting​ up the cave to show spooky eyes, but not quite sure it worked really. Still, I learnt something about shading with lines, so there's that... #inktober2017 #sword #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #lotr #glow #shading #moria #frodo #sting

#inktober Day 17 "Cloud" Bespin! Clouds are kinda hard to draw, so I went all Star Wars on it... #inktober2017 #cloud #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #bespin #starwars #cloudcity #lando #unipin

#inktober Day 16 "Time" Really struggled trying to come up with something for this one (or picking an idea from the many that I had). When in doubt, go Batman! So this is the Clock King, a rather obscure - and pretty bad - Batman villain. #inktober2017 #time #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #clock #king #clockking #batman #villain #roguesgallery

#inktober Day 15 "Underwater" Aquaman! This is an homage to my favourite Aquaman cover by Chris Batista, which I've included as a comparison. The only thing I changed was to make this one the old and grumpy Arthur Curry, because we all know he's the best version... #inktober2017 #underwater #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #scifiart #aquaman #comicart #arthurcurry #hookhand #oldandgrumpy #aquaman23

#inktober Day 13 "Crooked" Slowly catching up. So crooked, for some reason I thought of a witch's house in the woods. Probably thinking of Hansel and Gretel since I was stuffing sweets in my mouth at the time... #inktober2017 #crooked #artchallenge #sketch #ink #brushpen #pentel #dailydrawing #unipin #illustration #artistsoninstagram #penandink #grimm #fairytale #witch #woods #hanselandgretel
