I was in Edinburgh yesterday for an animation event, so I spent some time drawing in the museum on Chambers Street. I sketched a sperm whale skull and a haughty-looking llama as well as some of the visitors. The sketches are pen on paper, but the tone was added...
I've been busy with work and a family wedding, so it's taken me a while to post anything new! Here's a group of studies from one of Muybridge's wonderful sequences.
These drawings are from last week, but it took me until now to cherry-pick the best to upload. They're all studies from Bodies in Motion; most of them are of neutral expressions but some of the short poses (between 30 seconds and 2 minutes) were of a variety of...
More studies from the Bodies in Motion website! I began with some 30 second sketches, all of which were very rough so I haven't uploaded any of them. Next I went through one of the motions spending a minute on every drawing. Finally I spent quite a long time on a...

While boarding the Pigeon Crumbs animatic I posted a few weeks ago I drew these reference sketches and character models to help me figure out how the character would look, feel and act.
A few months ago I created a new logo for NarniaWeb, updating their lion so it can be used across more media. The previous logo was quite a small image that worked as part of the header to their website but didn't work so well in videos or printed on t-shirts as it...
My dog is notoriously difficult to photograph, let alone draw. This afternoon I managed to capture her in the garden as she munched on a very old tennis ball and an offcut from someone's fence.
I'm currently boarding a short idea featuring a pigeon, so I thought I'd put in some bird gesture practice! These are a mix of 30- and 60-second drawings. I want to practice wings more, and really get to grips with how they work.
