Cartoon time

Following on from yesterdays post which you can find here

I thought I'd share some more of my pictures.

These are drawn free hand in pencil the gone over with a fine liner, I then use the Specturm noir pen to colour them in.

 First up is the first portrait cartoon sketch attempt. This is my friend Boo. Its a silly thing to say and I know that she won't mind  but I'm really pleased with the colour work on her boobs. There was a bit of bleeding of colour round the face, I could do with a better quality of paper to overcome this problem but that will have to wait till I get a bit better.

 This is a cartoon I did of Richard after meeting him the other night. I don't know why hes got one leg longer than the other but I had had a couple of glasses of wine so I'm blaming it on that. This might also explain why I forgot he wears glasses, oh well. I'm happy with the hair and beard colour work and this if one of my favourite line drawings to date. The expression in the face has worked really well.

 This is a self portrait. It really hasn't worked but I like the line drawing so much I had to share it. I don't have the full range of pens yet so its quite hard to get the shading right on all colours. I have tried a few times to mend this picture but in the end made it worse.
 Another self portrait. I'm not keen on this on. The colour is fine but I don't like that the drawing is front on. It doesn't look natural. Think it'll be a while before I do one of me I'll be happy to have as my facebook profile pic :)
Up last is an omnipom. This took ages to do and its not finished but I wanted to get this post written in time for handmade monday. I'll go try and finish it now :)

  1. Gorgeous illustrations. I can see what you mean about the second self-portrait, the other one does look more natural. Looking forward to seeing the completed omnipom drawing.

  2. Great drawings! I'm hopeless when it comes to putting pen or pencil to paper so I think all of them are fab!

  4. oh wow these are great!! I love the expression you've managed to get in the eyes of all the people drawings. The omnipom is soooooo cute! The turquoise colour shading works really well xx

  5. I love the style of your drawings, and the quirky bits like the leg in the air just give them a cute character of their own!

  6. These pictures are great. I think that the slight quirkiness (of for example the shorter leg) adds to their characters. The expressions on their faces are brilliant. Being rubbish at stuff like this I think you are very clever :)
