Character designing


For the pure fun of it.
Say hello to the Famous Five.
(Yes, I know, very original name ;P )




Shapes, colours and people


Inspired by third years work from the Illustration degree show.
Absolutely love the idea of shapes of colours forming people and fine lines to bring in the details.

Possible style inspiration of animation design?
Reminds me a little bit of the style and colour palette used in 38-39°C by Kangmin Kim. 



Light is a beautiful thing


I love the idea of how much light and movement we could see if our eyes could see like a camera on a long exposure setting.
Seeing the river of red and yellow of city traffic with out own eyes.
Or maybe even the spinning lights of the stars as the Earth rotates. 

But then again I can also imagine that could result in a massive headache.
One beautiful headache.

Visiting friends and family at Newquay Zoo

 Observing different species of birds, animals and insects.
Trying to quickly capture their characteristics and personality is easier said than done.
These are some of the sketches I managed to do while we were exploring the zoo.



Otters - love to cuddle, family bond is obvious, their prey/predator status shows in their movements, quick darting movements and slow controlled movements, playful yet cautious, have they're personal precious items (pebbles)



Penguins - when on two feet constantly falling forwards, legs barely seem to make it under in time, waddles, as if it doesn't take much to tip them over, flippers out to side for balance,
graceful in water, full control, confident movements, fast!


Squirrel monkeys - seem aware how small they are, vulnerable, privately curious, shy, wraps tail around body for convenience and comfort, cocks head from side to side, you can see them observing things, sit bunched up tight

The final outcome of my dance project




James Bay - Let it Go





Dancing by yourself


My new practice dance.
Finally did one with cleaner lines and I loved it.
It wasn't as hard as I thought to draw with cleaner lines and it really helps to work out the body proportions.
There are definitely things I can improve but for now,
I just love how you can almost make her dance to any song.
