Concept Sketch 1

A concept sketch from a story I'm working on. Dip pen, ink and watercolour.

Next time, wake me up.

A sketch for an idea I had that didn't really go anywhere.

Character designs for Elizabeth Avenue

Here is some concept art I created for "Elizabeth Avenue", a picture book for children aged 6 -8. I was employed as Art Director and Illustrator on this project and created these character designs during the visual development stage:

Ozzy: prince of darkness

Ron: the older, naughty twin

Reg: the younger, oddball twin

Rocky: the gentle bulldog

Flamer: the streetwise fox

Carrot: the worldly cat

Alfie: the young new dog on the avenue

Stanley: the skeptical cat

Kristal: the beauty conscious poodle

Trampas: the quiet mongrel

All drawings were made with Prismacolor and Albrecht Durer coloured pencils on textured paper.
