Works and ideas in progress

On this page I thought I might just give onlookers a glimpse of projects that I am working on, in between contracts and commissions. Some ideas for the future and maybe some doodles…!

Its maybe an opportunity for comment and even collaboration with those who are interested in my work.

If you would like to comment on the works that I am currently on with or suggest new pathways you would like to see me venture down, you can email me..! Address below.

Black and white drawing of a woman's face with short hair and makeup.
Black and white portrait drawing of a woman with curly hair, bold eyebrows, and full lips.

Just to give you an idea on how I can present one of my portraits in print form, there are many variations that I can create to the portrait to give it a more individual feel and look, to match your requirements. Here is an example taken from the gallery……>>>>>>>

scary I just colourised this with AI….:-/

Well I’m showing this one, Its more doodle than portrait, but I used the wrong paper… too grainy for this kind of work :-( so I’ve struggled with it…! hence its not turned out so good. I will finish it though.

Also, whilst on A3 paper, the head is more sized to A4 paper ( a bit small for commission work) but OK for a quick sketch.

Having fun with this portrait changing colours, its taken from a black & white reference pic, so guessing at the colouring. apologies for the pics, loads of glare, will sort that on finished photo,

Again unfinished, just enhancing a little…!

My inspiration for this portrait come from the realms of comic super heroes, I see her as the beautiful ‘Galania’© heroin of our galaxy and member of the supreme guard….! He he ;-()

These 3 are all slightly different, not just in size…! You can see the grainy nature of the paper on the largest 1.
