Halloween

A picture for Halloween.

Worn On The Head

Archery anyone?! Worn on the Head was another weekly/fortnightly sketch topic, set by Jonathan Cusick this time. I was trying to think of something other than a hat. I was thinking of a mask, but couldn't get rid of the apple image in my mind, so decided not to fight it.

Funny Bird

This is a pic I did for the theme 'Funny Bird'. I'd already done the sketch (just a doodle) but I thought it fitted the theme, so coloured it.

Here is the original

And here is my go:


This is a reaaallly bad .gif of my working stages.... the file size is bit big...sorry. You can see it a tiny bit better if you click on it.

Here's my go:


Mr Rubens No. 2:

And My attempt:
Click on mine for a closer look. Hopefully I'll do a few more... I must admit I enjoyed doing them.

These were done in Painter IX. Previously I had trouble trying to do skin in painter, but I think I've got the hang of it (sort of)
