DIGITAL PAINTING
These are some examples of the few ditially painted portraits I have done using Photoshop and a WACOM Intuos graphics tablet. They are the beginning of exploring digital painting which I am improving on at any gieven oppertunity. These three were done in 2014, in chronological order they are: bottom left, right, and top left.
CYBERBUNNY CHARACTER DESIGN
These drawings show me experimenting into drawing a character twice to explore position and also colour. I did these pieces in 2014 and used pen and then photoshop on the last one to experiment with colour concepts. 
COLOUR OBSERVATION AND EXPERIMENTATION
These two pieces are seperate but both show examples of use of colour. The first (left) shows an observational study of hidden colour on a textiles piece sitting on a mannequin. This was done september 2014. 
The second piece shows colour experimentation and pattern experimentation with marker pens. I did this May 2015.
SOLDIERS OF THE SEA
This was my final piece for my UAL diploma in art and design. I drew the line portrait in pencil then pen on paper A2, then scanned and combined th eimages and edited aqnd coloured it using Photoshop. The piece was a visual for an imagined futuristic music festival called 'Soldiers of the Sea'. I did this June 2015.
HOWL'S KISS
This was a personal piece I did August 2015, inspired by one of my favourite animated films, 'Howl's moving castle' and a scene where the main character kiss. I made my own piece inspired by the idea that love is colourful and did a self portrait and portrait of my bf in a reinactment of the kiss from the film. I used pencil, pen and watercolour.
PORTRAITURE WORK
This is a collection of portraiture work, some from observation some from scondary resources such as photos of the internet, dates between 2013-2015. Nearly all pencil and purely realistic, though some have the addition of imaginative developments of my own such as the top left image containign a sci-fi costume design of my own.
MASKED
This was my GCSE final piece, so the date would have been around june 2014, and was a piece inspired by one of my favourite illustrators 'Gabrielle Moreno' and his style. This piece is done using pencil and watercolour and originally made up of an A2 page and an A3 page. I have edited it on photoshop into three seperate sections and changed the hue and saturation to give it a different colour scheme.
FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
This was my mock final piece for GCSE, so around early 2014, themed around the idea of conflict. I chose the fear of the unknown as a topic, looking at the fear of afterlife and what happens. My artist influence was a digital artist called Android Jones. The image is all in pencil, size A3. I took the image and scanned and edited it in Photoshop, placing a 'universe' overlay on top and a lens flare in one of the eyes.
SALIGIA & FURIOSA
The first image (left) is part of my current projects based around the theme of the seven deadly sins. It is a fine liner drawing of a ram's skull, as a possible logo/visual concept representing the devil as a ram. Drawn December 2015.
The second piece (right) was done as a piece of fan art after watching the film 'MAD MAX: FURY ROAD' Summer 2015. I used pencil for the portrait and then edited the piece using Photoshop.
SELF IDENTITY-SKETCHBOOK
These are two pages from my self identiy project done November 2015, involving creating an artist identiy for ourselves (logo, business card etc.). The first page (left) shows biro sketched of self portraits of myself showing the changes in how i look.
The second page shows business card ideas and developments. It shows my development process and the way I work.
