Daily watercolour painting. Need to get into the habit of doing one everyday, as it's a good warm up. #watercolour #painting #moleskine #instaartist #indiaink #sketchbook

Inktober 2015

I decided to take part in this artistic challenge called Inktober. As far as I know, this is quiete a new event that's probably been around for two years. It takes place in October and the aim is to produce a drawing every day for 31 days using ink based tools. This is supposed to make you gain confidence using this wonderful but unforgiven tool. I'm a massive fan of he media, and I really enjoyed participating, even though I didn't achieve the one drawing a day goal. Theese are some highlights. There're few more on my instagram account.

Natural History Museum Sketches

Some sketches I did during a visit to my favourite museum in London, The Natural History Museum.

Sketches, Sketches and even more sketches

As mentioned before, I've been quite busy working on my graduation film, meaning I could not spend much time drawing from myself.  In those little few breaks though, I've come to experiment a little bit more with mediums and styles, which is definitely something I loved doing. I picked up watercolours and I'm slowly learning how to use them.

I collected few line tests from my graduation film and decided to put them together. I can finally see some progress in the animation, where I put most of my energies this year. Also, I'm a fan of rough line tests, and in the case of my film, these lines make look the character a little bit more "alive".
