Don't Climb Trees Because You Could Fall Out

For this I had to illustrated part of a children's story. I choose a part of the story that involved a tree of course (I like trees). Straight forward illustration depicting what is going on in the scene basically.
Pencilled, inked and watercolored.

  

R.K.O.D

The Alchemist

This character was drawn up as concept art for a student film. I based the skeleton of the character on a previous sketch I had done as a study of human proportions. Drawing was penciled then inked while color and additional textures were added in photoshop.

Character featured in award winning student film ‘Tajali’ by Shady Abi Shakra.

American Psycho

Linoleum printing was a technique I became familiar with in illustration class during my first year as a graphic design student. It is something I immediately enjoyed and loved doing, one of the reasons being that you really become part of the piece you are creating. You have to carve, sweat and sometimes bleed (by accidentally stabbing yourself, which can happen fairly often) into the block in order to expose your illustration.

  

The cover of this book jacket was done using multi colored linoleum printing. Once I had penciled and colored the initial sketch using coloring penciled, I transferred each color onto a different linoleum block. The blocks were then carved, inked and printed in layers onto the same piece of paper.

Down The Rabbit Hole

For this book jacket I penciled the different elements alone. Unibal and rotring isograph pens were used for inking. The sprayed effect was achieved but using ink filled syringes and carefully applying the ink in the desired area. Once scanned and cleaned up all the elements were put together in photoshop.

Skulls, Skulls and More Skulls

I really enjoy drawing skulls..

These three illustration are a variation of just one skull I drew back in 2009. 

Originally a pencil sketch, I scanned it and forgot about it. About a year later I found it in some forgotten file, I was bored so I colored it on photoshop, added some texture and threw in a good old fashioned Mignola crown to finish it off.
About a year after that I entered a RedBull doodling contest and had about one hour to doodle something before the deadline. I sketched something up based on this skull and I actually won first place. 

 

Octo-Doodle

This started off as a classroom doodle during animation class. The initial sketch is about 10 x 7 cm done with a uniball pen. It was scanned and digitally reproduced in Photoshop using a Wacom tablet.

This might have been done when whole hype for the Kraken in the remake of Clash of the Titans and was going around..
