Cha Bar

Uni is getting dangerously close to the end! With so much work to get finished I was glad to finally complete this live project brief from Cha Bar - Knutsford for their brand new logo! Purveyors of fine, healthy teas and homemade designer cakes.

It was a nice breath of fresh air from my usual type of work, forcing me to delve into personally atypical creative recesses.

I am rather pleased with the end result and it will go towards filling out my work based learning module beautifully.

Thanks for stopping by,

Liam.

Business Cards

Aah yeah! They finally arrived this afternoon.

Open for bidness! :D

Drawing before snoring.

Just a sketch before catching some Zzz's. Thought it would be nice for you to see the before and after process of a coloured digital sketch.

She doesn't look too happy huh?

Happy Mistakes

Striving for that traditional feel in a digital medium. For this experiment I tried to keep it as 'rough' and 'textured' as I could as well as creating custom brushes for the bristle strokes. Used Art rage to create some nice '3D' brush work to make it seem as though the paint is really layered on top of the canvas.

Pity He's Too Oblivious To See, 'Pretty' He's Too Blind To See.

Regards,

Liam.

Business Cards Ordered!

 Finally sent off for my business cards today, really excited to get them back! All two hundred and fifty of them that is! Here are the final designs for the front and back of my new shiny business cards.

Let me know what you think,

Liam.

Zombie Attack!

This is a little doodle that got out of hand.

The character is a representation of me, the Zombie horde symbolises the ever approaching deadlines for uni work. 

Terrifying!

I've noticed since doing these quick little sketches that they often receive favourable feedback in comparison with my more polished, finished work. It just shows that you can get away with A LOT if the story and believability is there. It's not all about technique after all! 

This is all progression to a looser, painterly style. Even though it still has 'line work' I have concentrated more on speed, delivery and story.

Oh and the little scribble in the top left corner is how I sharpen my pencil!

Cheers,
Liam.
