The Twenty Second Doodle

Ahh the musicians, aren't they marvellous. I do like to draw musicians.

This particular chap, Liam, has been a victim of mine several times. He is just very good to draw; a handsome fellow, with tattoos, and a grungy sort of look. All ticks for me!

This is a build up of layers of watercolour, I wanted a very dark and intense image, with emphasis on the eyes. Half musician, half zombie.....

The third Doodle

Music has always been a huge influence and love for me. I'm pretty sure most artists/designers/illustrators listen to music when doing their thang, whether it's rap, pop, grunge, rock, classical or r&b. Each to their own.

This particular doodle is very simple, but I enjoyed doing it. I like that it's not so obvious that the figure is playing guitar, it's a less cliched pose. Maybe that isn't a good thing, but hey ho. I'm pleased with it.

My first Doodle

Well, we all must start somewhere. So here is the first doodle of my blog, a step on finding my illustration style and building up my portfolio.

I think I have quite an edgy, somewhat gritty style. But I think just because my style is like that, doesn't mean I have to apply it only to gritty subject matter. So I will also experiment with things I've never thought of doing, like fashion perhaps. We shall see.

Forgive the unsightly 'copyright' watermark, but unfortunately I have found this necessary on all doodles and pictures.
