Roller Derby Girls

Last night Jake Spicer's Draw group hosted another event at The Old Market. Emma Sandham-King was the host model this time and she presented us with her Roller Derby team kitted out in their tough
looking sports gear. Considering the fact that none of them, apart from Emma had modelled before, they were amazing and great fun to draw. I was working on my iPad for a change as I'd already had a private session with the wonderful Jasmine that afternoon using pencil and watercolour (I'll post these up later) so I fancied a change of technique. I was using my favourite art app for the iPad- Artrage and discovered a trap to avoid when using a digital app for drawing. If you zoom in to the image to draw a more detailed head after already drawing the body it's very easy to get the scale wrong as you can see fro the middle right image where the girls have enormous heads. I didn't have time to go back and do the heads again but I'll watch out for that in future. Still learning!

Spanish Caricatures

Ive just got back from a month in Palma de Mallorca where I was alternately working, socialising and trying to drum up some Spanish illustration work. To that end I produced some caricatures specifically for the Spanish market and here they are. The victims are Charles Bukovski (OK he's not Spanish but he's very popular there),  Rafa Nadal (Mallorcan tennis player), Rossy de Palma (Spanish actress and model), Rajoy (politician),  Rubalcaba (another politician), Penelope Cruz and Jose Morinho (football manager). I'm hoping that my friend Jean who runs Norma Comics in Palma can work his magic and get me some work out there. Well, you've got to try these fings, in't ya?
