Finished this piece today for Constable Care. Its a children’s colouring-in competition with a native flora & fauna theme. It will support the Commissioners Mountain Bike Challenge.
As far as the process goes, I sketched most of it down at Exomod cafe over a hazelnut soy latte (my weakness) and inked it on the pc.
I’ve provided a link to the hi-res file if you want to download it for any kids you know. The competition ends on the 19th of September and all entry details are on the sheet itself. Enjoy

Adrien Brody caricatures. I used three different digital mediums here, Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash.
All done by hand on my cintiq.
Alex Chavez is an artist I stumbled across while link hopping through artist blogs. What I especially love about Alex’s work is the people sketches. These are absolutely fantastic and were a huge inspiration for me to start drawing people I saw at cafe’s or on trains etc.
I especially dig the uniqueness and personality of each little character he does. His blog is Art of Ach and is bursting with so much awesomeness everytime I visit it, I find myself reaching for pencil and paper. Gah!
This is my contribution to the Ed Norton caricature jam over at drawingboard.org. He emerged quite easily when i first sketched him and I reckon that’s probably because I’ve watched Fight Club about 20 times
I decided to apply some of the digital painting goodness to some past work. Snoop seemed like a good place to start.
this is a lot of fun and so full of educational goodness. Trying to effectively represent various materials is abit of a challenge. Like this one has denim (jacket) and wool (beanie). Paying attention to composition also helps to define your edges etc. Overall there is still a high level of noobiness but with practice i shd get alot better
the victim is the effervescent Mahesh Jadu who is doing a damn good job of trying to appear poignant.
How’s this for a t-shirt haha. And if you want to wear it you can! Just click the image to jump to my “shop”.
After spending about 4 hours watching digital painting tutorials, I couldn’t wait any longer and put this together. Since its my first proper digital painting I’m sure that in time looking back on this attempt will make me cringe (assuming I get better). Still, I’m still basking in the warm glow of a new accomplishment so imma post away.
Reference image
The reference is my mate Luc who happened to have a cool pic floating about that I took to. I focused on studying tonal values than trying to get a likeness.
I had a little batman head. I had a little hellboy head. They wanted to be together, so i came up with a vaguely plausible title and um.. yeh
I did this piece for Jason. He has epic biceps, hence the title. Unfortunately because of the print size required I had to crop out the biceps.. ironically because they were so big. (lol). Happy birthday champ!
More victims of my cafe drawing rampage across perth - including Gloria Jeans at Hillarys and Exomod Cafe in Mount Lawley.
Well its now called Autodesk Sketchbook Pro but regardless of the name, DAMN. This is one hot piece of kit. Especially when combined with my Cintiq. I was up till nearly 3AM last night mucking around with these two bad boys. Here’s one of my sketches - should really make a habit of drawing at 3AM… the inpiration gods r kind at that time.
14 more days till the trial runs out.. sigh
Heres a few more colourful people who walk up and down Beaufort street. Some are straight from my imagination, but all inspired nonetheless by the wonderful characters you find in Mount Lawley.
For abit of practice I hopped onto you-tube and dug out some clips of tennis players. *poc*
