Some quick studies from Line of Action - a mix of 30- and 60-second sketches.

Skoog Animation
Recently I animated a couple of elements for the new Skoog advert, which you can watch below.I animated the girl's moustache, plus several 'flourishes' throughout the video. I've added a couple of examples as gifs below.
Gesture Drawings
I've not made it along to life drawing for a few weeks so I thought I'd better get back into practice with some gestures! I drew these from images at Line of Action, using the 30 and 60 second timers.
Giraffe
This is a little ink illustration I drew for a friend's birthday card. I coloured it in Photoshop, but I think I prefer it in black and white.
Study Squares #5
The snow is beginning to melt, leaving icy pools of water and slush. As I struggled through it on a walk this afternoon I thought it would be a good subject for today's study.
Study Squares #3
I struggled with this one. Choosing the colour and getting the texture right was difficult, and I don't feel I've completely succeeded in either area. This was a study of a canvas bag. I guess I need to paint more cloth!
Study Squares #1
If you've been following me for a few years you may remember that back in 2015 I drew 'Pieces of Sky', small squares of the sky I saw that day. (Here's an example.) I've been thinking about starting to draw small colour studies again, as I enjoyed the challenge....
Doodle
A few weeks ago I began working as a character and storyboard artist on an animated feature film called Spiked. I've been drawing a lot but of course I'm not able to share what I'm working on yet, so here's a little doodle I drew today!
Statue Sketch
I liked this bust of George Roberts, Provost of Selkirk in the 1800s, and had to draw it.
