I had an idea to adapt some reference of a cow I took from my parents and to create a Minotaur type character.

Trying more experiments with the technique of starting from a black background and then using a harder airbrush to build up the tones using pressure sensitivity. As it turned out it ended up looking like my dad!

I am currently watching Orphan Black and created this very much pastel based portrait.

Experimenting with the paint tube after watching a tutorial demonstrating how to create atmospheric clouds and then the palette knife to smear the paint around in a haphazard fashion.

Something fun and made up based on playing around with the sticker spray. I thought I would use a digital art trick on copy and reflecting the foreground character to simulate a floor reflection and applied the background as a kind of disco light using the radial bucket tool

My yearly portrait of an alien.

I started with a shape and then with a lot of colour formed some neon fish like creature.

This year comprised mainly pictures of Fred the cat!

I wasn't too happy with how this portrait was turning out so I overlaid an overlay layer of texture. In the end face looks like some delicious ice cream.

This was a commission for my mum for her work. Went for a much more illustrative look and start off with the ink pen with some smoothing and then tried to keep a watercolour like approach.

I decided to start this off using a fur sticker spray brush to form the basis of the painting and then to overlay some oil painting on top.

Wanted to take a different approach in to start with a black background and use the airbrush in a harder mode with pressure sensitivity to generate a more subtle variation.

Started again with the harder airbrush, applied a little texture and some extreme blending.

For this painting I started with the paint tube to apply some shape and then smudged around until a weird face started to emerge.

Again an experiment and mainly with blend layers to produce a horror portrait, note that there were definitely no shark references used for this one!

I started off with the airbrush to create a very digital cute face and then randomly applied some things, this was very experimental, and I was just having quite a lot of fun!

Trying to overlay some textures on to this portrait of one of the Doctors companions. Oil plus palette knife and then later on some airbrush to apply more realistic tones.
