Expanding Imagination

Here are two drawings I made based on the idea of the 'unknown' outside the frame of the photograph. Who knows what could be there? 

Dragons? 

Sinister shadows?

Some quick little double exposure experiments for the initial stages of the new project:

"Look What I've Found"

Combination of found photographs bought from an antique shop, and my photography.

Beautiful Brighton

Since coming back to Brighton for the start of the new term, I have really noticed how beautiful Brighton is, especially at moments like the one below - the sunset. 

This week the sky has been wonderful colours as I've walked home, but I was unable to capture them. So, in consequence I have started this personal project of documenting the beauty of Brighton. 

First up, this gif of Brighton Pier, with murmurations of Starlings flying overhead.

Time

Illustration Friday entry!

I've decided this year, I should start doing a lot more extra personal work, so to begin I am going to start participating in Illustration Friday!

This is my response to this week's topic - 'Time'.

Gif me more!

As this project has progressed, I've made about 13 or so different gifs. Mostly experimentation, gifs of only about three or four frames.

All of this has led onto me progressing onto more complex and 'finished' gifs! Here are some below.

This gif above is my pride and joy. Hand-drawn and painted, inspired by Mendellsohn's The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave) Overture. The music evokes the feelings of a stormy sea in Scotland.

St. Basil's Cathedral was chosen as my "best building in the world". I decided to try this fun little concept with the amazingly colourful domes.

Gif me.

This week was the start of a new two week project on gif-making! We need to make 6 looping gifs based on specific things like our favourite book, the best building in the world, the best song, something that makes us really angry, our hero and -  above - our favourite travel destination. I chose the moon!

This is my first ever hand-drawn gif, and it's made out of 24 drawings.

Here's some pages from the concertina, up close.
