Last Saturday's All In Gesture class theme was the characters Disgust and Joy from Inside Out. Both express strong emotions, so it was fun to draw and exaggerate the model! I also had a few attempts at drawing the characters.

A trip to the Museum
I'm back in Edinburgh for a few months, working as a Clean Up Artist (if you don't know what that is, here's an example) on a feature film I can't talk about yet. It's a really exciting project and I'm looking forward to sharing more about that, hopefully soon. One of...
Sketches at the Museum
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...
Giraffe

Inktober #2
See my previous Inktober post here. Here are the rest of my Inktober drawings for this year. I missed a couple of days, but otherwise I'm pleased with what I've accomplished. Ink can be very unforgiving, even with a pencil underdrawing. It's been good to try something...

I've been taking part in Inktober - a challenge to do one ink drawing every day of October. They've all been posted on my Twitter but I'm just now getting round to posting them here. I haven't followed the official prompts; instead I'm drawing costumes through the...
