This scene was done recently for a digital painting brief and shows a ransacked office. I don't own a graphics tablet (I had one for a bit and then sold it after never really using it) and so decided to draw it out in pen and add colour with the mouse.

Over the weekend I did these pages for a comic book project I had in mind. After spending a day on each it dawned on me that it was going to take far longer than I'd expected and decided to pull the plug on it. Drawings done using a fine-liner and a sharpie.

A few new sketchbook pages:

A couple of simple still lives done recently, the pumpkin with friend and illustrator Ben Mills (please excuse the name-check!).

A couple more acrylic sketches:

A few more drawings done today:

I've recently managed to get hold of a nice large desk to replace the end of my computer table that had previously been my work-space. The abundance of space has encouraged be to try a bit of oil painting. These still life pieces are two of my more successful attempts:

A little more animal anatomy stuff I've been doing recently:
