Going back a little bit further. I hesitated posting this little drawing challenge I was doing years ago (and some of the last of my traditional work really) because I was in the process of colouring them and never really wound up finishing. I kept meaning to go back but honestly. I like them more in B&W so to hell with it. Lets make the post!
MAGPIES
VAMPIRE BATS
GHOST MOTHS
PLAGUES
There’s… a LOT about these that I really like and I can really see a lot of the shape language I had fun developing here influencing some of the work I still make today. I can also feel the weight of the traditional medium and how much I fought it and my drawing ability for years (I definitely don’t regret switching to a mostly digital workflow now. The margin for error is muuuuch kinder).
There are various things about these that are Dated but there’s also a lot that works here so I think they are definitely still worth sharing.
Kind of wild to see how much my work has changed since 2018 alone.
