For this second piece on black card, I again looked for reference material that included a lot of texture and lightplay so during my research I came upon an image which showed this character in its rawest form—no helmet or adornments. It took around 10 hours over a couple of weeks to get this done. […]
After getting really into the look and versatility of white gel ink pens, I wanted to try my hand at drawing on black card. So I went out and bought a black card sketchpad and began work on a new piece. I wanted to create something that suited the medium, something with a lot of […]
Another of Earth’s beautiful creatures currently listed as vulnerable to becoming an Endangered Species mostly due to habitat loss; the Black Lemur. I was drawn to capture this animal because of its striking fiery eyes and its awesome beard.

Finally managed to polish this piece. I had been working on it on and off for a few months now and managed to use up a couple of nibs on both the Pogo and the Pencil. Glad that it’s finally down now though and I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think? […]

This is a drawing of my brother’s family pet, Max. He’s an energetic little Keeshound/Pomeranian/Fox Terrier cross who thinks he’s the big kahoona… in reality he’s just a spoiled little brat, but he is loved and a special member of the family. Total time taken: Approximately 2 hours from start to finish.Canvas: Paper app by […]
My latest piece drawn in the Paper app with the Pogo Connect stylus. I’ve always thought these birds to be incredibly beautiful and their striking plumage and colouring give them a lot of character, so I had an absolute blast drawing this. This took about 5 hours to complete and I pretty much did it […]
Anyone who really knows me could tell you that I’m a huge Trekkie. I’ll even unashamedly admit it on occasion. I’ve followed the stories through thick and thin and enjoyed many an hour sitting through reruns of each episode of every one of the series (in fact right now I’m watching through the DS9 series […]
