video games

streets of rage - Jennifer's idea. I like the retro graphics so much! The idea is the same, that the action generally goes from left to right and is kind of 2-D.

DDR - dance off!

sonic - the idea for going really fast at times and kind of...spinning into enemies? Collecting items... those graphics! I love this stuff, it's so nostalgic. It's like a reminder of a better time :)

Dear Santa...

When I was a wee girl doing GCSE art, we had to buy a set of these amazing colour pencil crayons. They only cost £12 a box of about twenty(ish), and they were so good, they lasted me even to this day.
Then Berol discontinued them, and I was very unhappy.
Derwent just doesn't seem to do as well as Karisma. Haven't found any pencils as good, anyone have a brand they swear by?

Also, read this a little while ago. It's an interview with a comic book artist, Mike Maihack. It's a bit geeky, but geeky is good. http://flickeringmyth.blogspot.com/2011/09/sketchy-details-conversation-with.html

Sketchbook

 

My favourite bits of out 'sketchbooks: the hidden art of designers, illustrators and creatives'

I was looking at this book while doing brief 1a, so I ended up concentrating on the black and white parts.
The last skull is Renato Alarcao, who is awesome.
(I photographed these pages, because I do not know how to use the scanners in the studio)
