Screenprinting 1 - Lion



 Lion Screenprint
This is the result of a two-colour screen print of one of my anthropomorphism drawings in the final stage - the head of a lion. I have separated the mane into the darker section and the facial detail into the lighter section.

The Grateful And The Dead Sequential





The Grateful And The Dead

 This is an illustrated sequence of panels adapted from the story "The Grateful And The Dead". This section encompasses the part of the story where Jack (the protagonist) walks into a frozen town and discovers the history behind the town's blacksmith. I have coloured it with pro-markers and formatted it into a short comic.

Life Drawing - Religious Experience Sequential




Life Drawing - Relgious Experience Sequence

These are pages from a sequential adaptation of larger life drawings, displaying various poses. The theme for this sequence was the story of a non-religious Victorian housemaid being visited by an apparition of her future self, forcing her to change her beliefs in fear and convert to Catholicism. As seen above, I have formatted the sequence in a comic style and added panels and some religious symbolism in the backgrounds to make the story flow more smoothly and make sense for the reader.
 
I have used fineliner pens to achieve the outlining and shading of each panel, focusing on a more linear hatching technique to represent shade.

Life Drawing - Pirate Sequential

These are pages from a sequential adaptation of larger life drawings, displaying various poses. The theme for this sequence was the story of a pirate finding and reclaiming her pet lemur from an undead pirate on a Caribbean island - whom she gets a map to the treasure of the island from. As seen above, I have formatted the sequence in a comic style and added panels and backgrounds to make the story flow more smoothly and make sense for the reader.

Illustration personification task

"The Illustration Squid"

For one of our in-lecture assignments we had to design a personification of the Illustration course.

As seen above, I have drawn a squid holding drawing utensils and wearing a broken crown. The squid's tentacles represent the several modules that are delivered throughout the course. The utensils represent medium experimentation within the first year, and the broken crown shows the course as an almighty ruler, but one that can always be overcome. 

The overall image demonstrates both the challenge and the freedom within the Illustration course.
