A windy day

It is dead windy at the moment and I haven't posted for ages

so I had a go at this. I quite like it. All with blob brush.

Might keep working on it...

A calling card

 

 front (above) and back (below) 

A calling card for my sister. 

Find her shop here if you're interested in jewellery or knitting.

Cover

Work on a book I only have a title for...

And a front side...

And a front side...

I'm still struggling with some of the gradients.

I'll carry on playing around with it.

Progress

Progress for the guy below.

Should try and keep adding more I guess.

More gradients

Gradients are hard!! I don't really understand how to make them work.

I've ordered an adobe manual to help with some basics.

Hopefully I'll see a marked improvement. 

Leaves

Learning to use Gradients now.

For my sister

This is a first go at a banner and avatar design for my sister.

She seems to like it so far.

New Title Banner

I am proud to exhibit my brand new title banner. This will herald a new age of redesign her at rhumphries.blogspot.com as I slowly learn how to do internet stuff.

Me again

Here is a colour version of the trace I did from a photo.

It is a bit grey, but I think I made a nice effect.

I'm trying to do something for my sister like this, hopefully it will go as well.

And a body...

And a body... pretty happy with these.

Hands are hard.

Penelope

I think I've got the basics in illustrator so I'm

starting on some character work for a personal project.

Impossi'cube

Learning to LivePaint. Need some more practice!

Me

My face, traced from a photo to practice. 

I need to learn to add detail next.

Faces

I haven't posted for a while. Here is a mans face. They are all the same

but I think they look good together.

Might get some wall-paper made.
