A few rough sketches and colour thumbs for a project that I created in school and am currently developing into a longer illustrated story:



A few months ago I was asked to do some colouring and illustration for an upcoming comic book project, 'BAD: Influence', by local writer Jordan C.
I worked with my awesome colleague Johnny Castuciano on the first image to create a few colour choices for the author, and then created another piece afterwards in a different style. This was a great project, and I look forward to seeing it developed further!


  
I love colouring, and when I get the chance, I love working with small, quick thumbnail versions so that I can try out different lighting and colour schemes. It's so easy to dramatically alter the mood of a simple line drawing, and working digitally makes the process fast! Below is a layout (based on the Captain's cabin in a tall ship that I used to be a tour guide on) for which I first created a line art version, then lighting variations, then quick colour ideas, before settling on the final version to paint fully.


I am currently working as a storyboard artist on a fantastic show, and was lucky enough recently to have my design chosen for the crew hoodie. There are so many talented people on my show, so it was an honour to have my art make it onto the finished product (and it's also super warm and comfortable!). Here's a bad-quality pic, with my very own ginger kitty Mort, who looks like he somewhat approves of the hoodie, sort of.
