ZOMBIE!!!

This is what happens when I watch a zombie trailer, with too much time on my hands. Katy Perry!

Photo Restoration

I have never done photo restoration before, but I knew I could do it. I decided to experiment and add colour on the final one, just to see how it turns out. It looks quite nice being subtle.

Bird

A pretty little photoshop painting in 10 minutes. Practising with colour really.

Serious drawing.

I have realised that I haven't done 'serious' still life drawing in quite a while. Most of my drawings are light hearted illustrations, so I am going to do a still life a day. I think it is important to keep skills like this because it allows you to keep hold of your eye for detail, lighting and scale- which is important as it is adapted to graphic design too. Even though it is an Instagram quality photograph, this is the first still life drawing I have done for a while. I aim to fill this mini sketch book, scan it, and publish the whole sketchbook on Issuu.

Playing

I was just having a play with overlapping shapes on illustrator, and I created an escalator!

Boredom doodles

I draw little sketches when i'm rather bored. They are only tiny drawings. I took the photos with the glory that is instagram, because they are usually binned and I don't scan them. My name on instagram is cathbennett and I post stuff like this quite regularly.

Photoshop Painting

I decided to paint 'with light.' My influence came from the Disney scene when Cinderella is dancing in the clouds with the Prince. It was all drawn in layers upon a plain black background. I could add more to the background, but I want the main emphasise to be the girl dancing and the colour. Its bold but quite simplistic at the same time, considering the amount of things I could have incorporated into the picture.

Saturday doodles.

So I thought I would draw a couple of pictures on this fair Saturday afternoon. They are done in biro pen so they aren't particularly neat; more like glorified doodles to be honest. The first one is a photo that I found that was really nice taken- unfortunately I forgot the photographers name. I elaborated on the illustration from the original photo. The second is Alex from Madagascar, I fancied drawing a cartoon. Bad quality pictures really, but thats instagram and a crappy phone camera lol. I might scan them in the future.

Doodle power.

I thought i'd just post these, because I always bin doodles. They are instagram quality pictures so they aren't the best quality.
