My Hallo-WEENIE picture for Lauren

My sister is such a festive fun nut this time of year. Like me she loves the autumn and winter seasons, and as it is nearly hallowe'en I have done a very Weenie sketch of her riding a broom! I hope she loves it as much as I do. I shall get it to her in time for her annual Hallowe'en party.

I shall take this opportunity to wish you a very HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!

Jacqui says "You can you draw with a tablet!"

I drew with my tablet at work... who knew... it's just like drawing on paper. Well done me.

New job, new skills, new Frank

It has been a while since my last post, however I started my first proper animation job 2 weeks ago so I have been very busy! However here is a little peek at what I have been doing in my new job as a Junior Animator for CPL Training Group. I am getting to grips with new software and I decided to use my character Frank as a test.

There will be more updates soon!

:)

Ben's Pic

I was happy to get another commission from one of the lovely people at Langleys. This is Ben's picture, he and his girlfriend are ski fanatics... if you couldn't tell!

I hope he will be just as happy with it as Ellie was with her picture!

A little gift for my new nephew James Patrick Howley

A HUGE Congratulations to my brother, Harry and his lovely girlfriend, Rachel, as she gave birth to James Patrick Howley on Friday. 

Here it is, my contribution to his nursery. My lovely boyfriend, Ed, helped me with the colour and text editing and he very kindly got it printed for me. This should go nicely with all the other animal toys and images in wee James' room.

And there he is with Aunty Chloe and Uncle Shed :D 

Latest commissioned piece

This is a caricature I have done over the weekend for Ellie Daniels, the lovely lady from the Marketing department at Langleys. She very kindly parted with her money so I could draw this for her as a gift for her boyfriend (and Angus the cat!). Fingers cross she looks as happy as this picture when I have it printed for her on Monday morning!!

Illustrations styles

It may appear that I have been dormant for the past month. Fear not I am in the process of creating more illustrations, experimenting with different styles. The two images I have done below were inspired by 60's and 70's animated cartoons. 

"Creepy Castle"

"Mr Mans Pretty Pink Car"

I will not leave it so long next time! More updates on its way soon!
