Im not that great at creating "likness" in portraits but dont worry too much about it, I think I just rush it too much. This is a work in progress tonal drawing and i am only half way through. I'll update over this week.<br />

Its been great fun sitting in front of the TV sketching in photoshop. I do almost all my sketching digitally these days so being able to have a digital skechbook is amazing! I also went out and about in my local area sketching out side :)<br />

This guy started out with the intention of being death from Bill and Ted's Excellent adventure but I do like my strong colours. So I thought the suit from the Mask would look good on this guy :)<br />

I dunno, i wanted to do a quick sketch and he popped in there. The style was forced because i wanted to do it very fast but i found i had more fun to paint like his. I don't ponder on things and just do it!<br />

<br />A girl from Finland we had working with us is leaving today. I was tasked with making her leaving card based on Quarrel, the game we have been working on. It was great fun making Quarrel characterisations of all the development team here at Denki :)<div>

<br />I spent too long on this and its still not finished. I am trying to figure out a balance between sketchiness and a painterly quality (if you know what I mean) so I don't spend a long time tweaking but I get to a quality I am happy with. Interesting how the sketch changes when I start to paint. <div>

My coder friend asked me to help him design a logo for his start up company, Amoeba Lab. This is what we came up with. I did a few business cards and invoice templates. All good fun.
