More Drawings

I have tried to keep my sketchbooks organised by topic, mainly around holidays or visits to places. This sketchbook has just been for anything else I felt I wanted to draw so theres a bit of a mixture here.

Drawing from reference photographs taken at York Castle Museum

I drew this pug from a reference photograph found online and was really happy with how detailed the original black and white drawing turned out considering it started out as a quick sketching task. I scanned it into photoshop and played around with colours until reaching this outcome. I feel my photoshop skills are improving now I have the program on my laptop and I can spend time practicing using it in my own time. 

I also made a Redbubble account as an effort to try and get some of my work out there and maybe make a bit of money in the process. I'm not sure how this is going to go but theres no harm in trying. 

This is the tote bag product with my image of the pug on it. 

I started getting into this so carried on using my sketches as a starting point for some digital editing and then uploading onto the site. 

Cat silhouette ink drawings. 

I scanned these in and arranged them on Photoshop so they fit into a square tile. I then used this to make a repeat pattern, shown below printed onto a fusion cover. I also adapted the square into a birthday card for a cat-loving friend. 

More drawings from reference material found online. Animals and wildlife is a theme that I always seem to come back to, I particularly like birds because of the wide variety of shapes and styles they come in and how they can be recognised by this.
