This is one of the designs that I used for one of my wood block prints.
A peacock frame, the surrounding area will be black while the circles will be white and therefore stand out since they will contrast to the blackground. The peacock its self will be vibrant colours, like the blues, greens and purples that you usally find on a peacock.


These are more mix media art that i have made using parcel paper as the main material.
The top one I tried to give more of a old photo look with the corners like how they are as though they are keeping the picture still.
And again using white acrylic used as lighting on the figure.

While the bottom one is a 1920s women in a man's suit, her waist coat cut out and then the paged layoured ontop of the parcel paper and the parcel paper coming through where its been cut, and also using it as a boarder as well.


These two are my favourites one done on parcel paper.
The bottom one was more accidental than the top one, with the eyes being cut out and going over the words the art which really works well with the piece its self. The white acrylic looks really nice on her hair as well, working like shine on her hair.

These are my new attempts at working at mix media for my current project at college. 

I really like how the top one turned out, it was my first attempt and it turned out very well and it has a nice feel to it. While the second one is a bit less effective to the first one but it does have its own little charm.

Now this green one is one I very much like. It was fun to make, since I have to cut out the green and blue card and then stick a small part of a book onto the dress for a pattern then rip it off, it was very fun and I do really like this one.

While this one, I do like it but it was my first attempt with using a page from a Sherlock Holmes book. I used pen and news paper for this one but again it is not my favourite though I do like it. I will be doing more but hopefully they will look more straight cut, but I have to admit the roughness of the edges does make them stand out more.

This is a front cover I was working on a very long time ago for a personal comic project of mine, about a Angel who got kicked out of heaven and got her wings taken away. So with this front over I wanted to show that the main character Lacy was mischievous, cunning and flirtatious. 



This is a concept art for character for a personal project I had on the go.

I am rather proud with how the pencil shading turned out.  

These are some quick images inspired by art nouveau and coloured with water colour

Fashion drawings 
And this one is just using flat colour




 Here is a before and after of a quick sketch I did in pen then scanned in and drew over using a different way of drawing. The lines in the bottom picture are more fast and don't stick out as much as black lines would and so using the darker colour of that area works a lot better. And I was also trying out different angles.
I tried a different style with this. The lines are much more harder and Im really proud with the colouring on the jeans.

This is a work in progress that I drew a while ago but never finished. I was mainly working on shading and lighting with my work.
