Symmetry is fun, although I have read somewhere it should be avoided in character design. Sketchbook Pro has a symmetry image tool.

Symmetry bird thing
I’ve been working hard in my sketchbook, I’ve also got some posts planned for the future on customizing your workspace for digital art.

I decided to take some time to scan a few things from my sketchbooks so far this year.
Some are studies of anatomy I made from “Anatomy and Drawing” by Victor Perard, some are studies from a book about animation and other’s are studies of animals and also various things from my head.
I’m just going to lump them all here as a gallery.

This website has been a bit quiet for a while so I guess I should say something to show I’m still here.
I’ve been doing a lot of research and developing my drawing skills/ illustration style and direction for the most of last year (and possibly the year before to be honest) and I put a lot of energy into a website project which I am very happy about. I think my style, skill and direction has changed quite a bit from what is currently in the gallery.
I am still planning a special folklore and mythology illustration portfolio site which will be www.fuzzymushroom.com. I’m also re-working one of my ongoing personal projects regarding Jane the Elf and goblins (title still needs work). I’ve actually figured out a way to combine my knowledge of archeology, anthropology and art with the Jane the Elf project so I’m very happy about that.
There are a few other projects which were temporarily postponed due to the move and Christmas, but I’ll be getting them back on track shortly.

I haven’t posted for a while I know but I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I’ve been drawing non stop in my sketchbooks and researching on various projects, but I will probably not have anything new for the website until the New Year due to various life distractions at the moment.
I’ll try and do a fairy for Christmas Eve
All the best,
Christine

I’ve just about settled into my new house with my Fiancé. Getting the Internet to work has been a little bit annoying and I’m still annoyed I couldn’t speak to anyone human about it, but after tightening the connection to the modem it seemed to work. I have a lot of work to do and I’m not sure where to begin right now.
