Little Mermaid Coloured

The Little Mermaid in full colour from my Hairy Tale series.

I based her facial makings off different sea creatures but mainly the Red Lion Fish, then I matched the face markings with the hair colour to help make her look more natural. I wanted her to look quite alien, foreign and not the norm.

Little Mermaid Screen Printed

Here is The Little Mermaid screen printed on blotting paper.

I really like how this came out, and will look just as good as the others in the coloured version.

The markings on her face will look apart of her once she is coloured.

Beast Full Colour

Here is Beast in full colour. The shading of his hair took awhile.
I like how shiny and glossy his mane looks.
You are going to have to full view to see the little details, some reason in smaller view it makes them look grey or white.


I hope you like him.

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. :)

Snow White Coloured

Just a little post to show you my final all screen printed and coloured.

Im really pleased how this came out.
I water coloured it on blotting paper,  its a must try!
Blotting paper is my new fave paper, shame its more expensive than normal cartridge paper. I found it blends the watercolours nicely and no need for large scale washes. Win win :)

Snow White from my Hairy Tale series, my own interpretation from the text from Brothers Grimm. 

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.

Screen Printing Testers

Hay everyone,

This week I've been testing my line art for the Hairy Tales image I posted a few weeks ago.
Make sure you click to see all the details, its funny how each time I drew the old lady she turned out different =) 

Here are the left are testers of different pens I could use for the light fixing process in screen printing. 
On the right is how it screen printed on blotting paper, and some little colour tests on my favourite ones.
