more fineliner sketches

Here’s a few fineliner sketches I was going to use as part of a music visualizer, built in Processing.

Unfortunately I don’t have enough time to see this through and to make the competition deadline, but I’ve decided to put these sketches up anyway. This rose sketch would also be used.

The idea was to have cut out versions of these sketches, be affected in various ways (overlapping, merging, size, rotation, glitched etc) by the music (2 tracks from The Mars Volta), so it would be like a realtime music video controlled by the bass, mid and treble frequencies. I might still make this later, so stay posted.

Anyway, here’s the sketches (click for close-ups):

The hand and the eye would be joined together and blended better, with the eye appearing inside the palm.

The other sketch will be ongoing until I’ve filled the page, it might also be used for another project I’m currently working on

no reason behind this, although it might come in useful at some point:

edit. There is a reason behind this, I’m just not telling you what it is yet

pen and water colour

here’s some old water colour and ink illustrations of mine, I completely forgot about these.

Huddersfield University 2010 Graduate Show

Here’s some photos I took (also a few by Matt Whitewood) of the 2010 Graduate Show. I thought the quality of work throughout was excellent, congrats to all involved. I’ll sort the order later.

Photos from The Grange

On the same day I took the photos for the Taxonomy Tees Brief, after we finished, we went to a fire damaged retirement home to take some photos.

Here’s a selection of the photos:

Here’s a little piece of stop motion animation I did, for a transition in part of my show reel. Although I may end with this as it seems a logical way to end things.

The background is from a spray paint piece I made.

Seoul Brief work

I am currently working on a series of illustrations based on my time in Seoul. I was asked by my tutor at Huddersfield to write a brief for myself and the rest of my classmates based on this work. The brief consists of taking the original black and white illustration and adding animations, colour etc. To do this work we formed various groups within the class and worked collaboratively, each group taking a different time of the day. I will then draw a large version of the black and white illustration on the wall of our studio and we will project each groups animations back over this piece. The images below are the original black and white (although I removed the people, van etc to give to the rest of the groups for the project), then a series of pictures to show the process I used to colour the illustration our group will use:

Original

next step was to colour it up in illustrator

then I decided to do an Oriental Painting, using some of my skills learnt at Kookmin, mainly using (what I believe to be called) the Mol gol method. This method is a style where you “colour the surface.”  I painted this on Traditional Korean Hanji paper that I shipped back from Korea.

I then added the oriental painting to the line drawing, changing the brightness, contrast etc.

The last step was to combine the two (illustrator colouring and the oriental painting).

Here’s our group’s video (courtesy of matt whitewood):
