Mrs Claus

Just before christmas I saw an article about Miguel Endara and how he created a photo realistic image of a homeless man using the stippling technique. The stippling technique is creating an image made entirely from dots. I had seen some of Miguel's other stippling work in the past and always wanted to try it. After seeing his latest piece I decided to give it a try.

I knew that it was going to take a long time to do so I had to choose something that I didn't mind looking at for a long time. I chose my beautiful girlfriend Ruth d'Andilly-Clune.

Ruth wearing a loverly santa hat, to show it was around christmas.


After taking the photograph of which I was going to work from I started the template of my drawing.




I started out with a pencil line template, I then started stippling Ruth.





The finished piece my Mrs Claus



Here's a few beauty shots of the piece taken by Ruth d'Andilly-Clune







And here's the piece next to the photograph...

The Last project I did at University

So earlier on today I posted some photos of my sketchbook of a few drawings that I have done over the past month, what follows is what rekindled my passion for drawing:





This was a project in which a 'Team' had to choose a song and illustrate the message or how you felt about the song, we decided to illustrate the meaning behind 'The Zutons - Secrets' and draw the secrets of some of the most famous musicians, did Tupac actually die? did paul McCartney die in 1966 and get replaced? and did Mick Jagger have a relationship with David Bowie.

My contribution was drawing the heads and adding the shading to the bodies.

More on the whole project at one of my Team mates Behance: http://www.behance.net/gallery/Fishtank/3992475
