“HEIST” #Inktober2022HEIST
Stick ‘em up
This is a heist.
The arch-baddy octopus is ARMED!
This is one of my favourites to draw so far and took a bit longer the get the silhouette balanced with the complexity I wanted for the arms. If I had more time I’d render the guns a bit better. I used the purple/green colour combo of the joker for a bit of extra menace. BLAM!

Graphic Novel development
Graphic Novel I’m working on using my 3D design skills for backgrounds and drawing the characters by hand.

After re-rendering a few of my previous projects in C4D with Arnold, I needed … Read More

Storyboard action with 3D modelled background and hand-drawn foregrounds. The setting for this assault-course style scene is as much part of the story as the character telling us who she is with her actions. I built the factory in Vectorworks which allows me to fly around the set and find interesting angles to tell the … Read More
Children’s Book Illustration
Some pages from a children’s book I illustrated recently. I modelled these simply in SketchUp and added a lot of texture in Photoshop. I draw the characters by hand on my Wacom tablet and colour them digitally too. Have a look at the 360° version of the little girl’s room here.

Symmetricanimals – Mandrill
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jenny Smith (@boodoo.me) I’m a bit obsessed with drawing mandrills lately. I love their vibrant colouring and conflicting grumpy expressions. I drew this one in Procreate, using the symmetric tool.

My Music Cloud Installation
So here’s one I thought of for a music-based cloud – wax pencil on a group of CD cases. For me, the brittle acrylic material captures the delicate nature of a physical cloud in the sky, and the use of CD cases and wax reference the music industry from two bygone ages.
