I recommend two books to beginners regarding anatomy/life drawing: “Drawing Manual” by Glen Vilppu and “Figure Drawing: Design and Invention” by Michael Hampton. I especially like Vilpp...

the brush used for the roughs is usually any old photoshop brush, like the watercolour one with opacity adjusted to be affected by pen pressure. it gives a really cool 'traditional' feel as if yo...

MERRY XMAS! Here’s my gift to you lot: The full storyboards/layouts for Smash. You can see some of the ideas we ended up dropping, as well as shots that ended up getting much better throughout ...

glad you dig the announcer! he was designed in a hurry so i could move on with storyboards, so it's cool to see he went down well with the audience.

thanks. i'd recommend schooling if you like learning via a strict education system - otherwise i know plenty of professionals who are self-taught (in that case, you have to be your own teacher). ...

Here’s some of the pre-production art I did for Smash (concepts, character models and boards/layouts specifically). The project was intense from the get-go - we were given roughly 7 weeks to ...

FROM MID AUGUST TO OCTOBER-NOVEMBER, i’m going to be dealing with a torrent of work (moreso than usual). i’ve got to keep these projects under wraps for now, so i can’t post dev stuff here...
