Whales and Wales

So I've recently moved house to Wales.

Its been good, it was pretty much the only place in the UK that it didn't snow, no building snowmen for me :(
So for the past few days it has been raining non stop!

And the weather isn't nice warm rain like in the Med, its horrid windy rain that blows your umbrella inside out and the hood off your head.

So here is my illustration of it raining whales, or sky whales.

 
Different from my other stuff more simplistic and children's booky :)

Brave Illustration

Hay everyone!

The past few months have been really hectic, from peter breaking his arms to moving house.

Finally I've gotten all settled in, and a lovely desk set up. :)

I'm not one of those lucky people that can work anywhere, I like having my space and desk with me in the centre surrounded with all my arty things.

So I drew an image of Merida and Mom bear from Brave. I really love that film,  it has to be one of my fave Pixar films.

Here are some work in progress shots
I tend to post these more on my instagram profile for convenience, if you have instagram check me out, my username is Ellenstration.

Now for the art work!!!

My finished work done with mixed media.
Taken on my phone so sorry about the quality, I can't get the hang of photographing my work.

Beast Screen printed

Here is Beast from my Hairy Tales series, in all his screen printed glory!

He took quite a while to draw out. His face had so many little lines.

Well I hope you like him, I'm pleased with how he turned out.

He is lighter than Snow White mainly because his mane isn't black it going to be brown. :)

Beast with Objects

A short post today.

Here is Beast with all his objects in his hair.

I'm pleased on how this turned out.

The Head of Beast

After all those doodles and unfinished drawings of Beast's head I did draw one I liked. Woot Woot!


So here he is....

You may have noticed I like sketching in blue pencil, I find it helps me keep the drawings cleaner. :)

The next part I had problems with was how to make the hair flow like Snow White's.

Here Are some more funny looking drawings of me trying to sort that out.

This I have named Snake Beast as well he looks like a snake, don't worry I fixed him. I think I just got carried away with drawing all his hair.

Yay this is finished Beast now next is all the objects from his story.

I hope you like him

I'm Still Alive

Hay everyone!


Sorry I haven't posted in aaaaaaages, I've been super busy with finishing work and putting up my end of degree show.

So the next few posts will be all the work I wanted to put up but just lacked the time.
I guess thats what happens when I'm in the studio from 10am to 11pm.


So below is Snow White from my Hairy Tales series all drawn out and has been screen printed.
I hope you like her, the tests I did earlier where I tried out different pens really helped.
