Drawings & Sketches

Sketches & Drawings – My pencil and sketchbook are some of my favoured tools for making speedy observations, getting ideas down on paper, and… just letting my imagination run wild. I love my sketchbook!

A lot of this process is also transferable to my character design. my pencil is often at the fore of getting my work. 

My sketch work is often the precursor to my other work. Be it concept art, board games, cover work or personal pieces. I have picked a handful of drawings to show in this section.

My blog also covers a lot more of my preliminary sketch work.

Strange Drawings…

Drawings & sketches – I wanted to start with some of the stranger drawings first. This shows a bit of speedy thinking and lets my mind wander.

These drawings were created with a mechanical pencil.

Tinners, Sinners Winners | Freelance Project – a bit of process

Tinners, Sinners & Winners – The History of the Manor of Cosawes 1086 – 2015 was a commission project whereby I had to sketch, conceptual and come up with 3 pieces of Cornish history through the ages.

With working on this commission piece, I wanted to share some of the process here before arriving at the final artwork. This is some of the early ideas stages for the artwork, this was used to discuss the direction of the artwork before committing to the final art. More can be read in this historical drawing section.

Faces And Characters About Town – Sketches & Drawings

Okay, granted that some of this ‘slight’ hyperbole. These drawings and doodles carried out on the train when going to and throw work in the mornings.

Cruel John Coppinger

Cruel John Coppinger is a semi-legend from Cornwall. He was an infamous smuggler and that was said to have washed up on a Cornish shore.

He was Danish and had a brutal reputation. I hope the image conveys some of how much of an unpleasant figure he truly was. If legend is to be believed.

Pencils, graphite.
