Recent choir designs

Some recent choir designs I did set in and outside a cathedral.

Mornings

Some countryside scenes for greetings card designs. Going for a fresh early morning feeling.

F1 racing car

F1 car illustration painted first in Photoshop and then given the treatment in Painter.

I've been getting into drawing and painting cars and understanding how to render different levels of reflective surfaces.

Man's best friend

I was asked to update an existing design I had done by adding in a dog to the scene. I was glad to update it especially when I noticed some glaring perspective errors in the original that I hadnt seen the first time around. Its encouraging to feel that I'm improving.

Madonnas

Somer recent Madonna designs

More game art

Menu screen with logo

Quick Draw game art

Some artwork for a phone / tablet game. Its a wild west quick draw shooting game that will be awesome! Nice to get the opportunity to work on something a bit different.

50th birthday design

Town scene

Choirs............

The latest in a very long line of choir designs. Colour in the foreground, monotone background was the style requested by the customer.

Choir by a lych gate

Letterbox

Illustration of a Christmas town scene. Note the compulsory red letterbox to make it English.

type and icons

Some recent simple type and icon card designs. These will get a foil layer when they go to print to highlight the lettering etc.

Winter scenes

Two recent commissions for this year's Christmas range. Tried to link them with the use of a punchy red element. It can be tricky to make potentially very cold images warm and inviting enough to make them suitable for the greetings card market.

Formula 1

First in a range of sports themed designs. I actually started the background traditionally with ink wash before painting into it digitally. Drawing vehicles is a great way to improve perspective knowledge.

Robin watching Santa

Santa claus design. Originally had two children watching through the window but was advised to change this to a robin to make it more 'believable'. ;)

Christmas in the city

Couple of oil pastel style Christmas card commissions I did a few months back. For the same customer I think.

Nativity paintings

Some recent Christmas card designs I painted. Ive been trying to work on a more interesting use of lighting and atmosphere in some of these.

Just playing around

Just trying out some style ideas and seeing how I get on.

Christmas Shopping in Oxford Street

Christmas shopping design - tried to make the reds as punchy as possibly

Christmas Eve Expectation

These two cards are two halves of the same scene, well a few seconds apart if  you notice Santa's position.

More fishy fishy

Another fishing design to be sold in garden centre shops.

Lady golf

I always prefer to aim towards the original idea I had in my head when I paint up an illustration. So when a design undergoes countless revisions its always a challenge to stop the image getting away from me. This golf design started off in a completely different setting but ended up like this.

Never ending Christmas
