More drawings of people I've seen while out and about in London. Spotted the girl on the left at Kings Cross station with her London tube map looking a bit lost. The girl on the right I spotted on the Central Line looking all gorgeous and summery and the guy I saw swaggering like a boss through Holborn station. Lastly, I saw the girl with the orange bag and the determined face, rushing through Oxford Circus. She looked like she was on mission. Enjoy!

Morning in the Churchyard:

This is a scene from a personal project which I've been working on over the past few weeks. I've also made a 'development' video showing how I created this scene from start to finish which you can watch on Vimeo by following the link below. Enjoy.

Some concept art I drew a little while ago for a story I was developing. Sometimes when I'm coming up with stories I find it useful to draw the places I see the action taking place. This was done in Photoshop and took a few hours. I tried to keep it as loose as possible while still capturing the sparkling city I saw in my mind. Enjoy! Maria

Some head sketches I did at lunchtime. I've been trying to loosen up my drawings recently by keeping them really quick, without focusing too much on the details. Enjoy!  Maria x

I've been trying out a new style in Photoshop recently. I have been drawing alot more recently, drawing people I've seen while out and about. I decided to take my recent sketches and colour them up trying to avoid heavy outlines and concentrating on using blocks of colour. Enjoy.

Something I drew a while ago. I'm fan of both Adventure Time and Game of Thrones so decided to try drawing the GoT characters in the Adventure Time style. Here's Hodor and the Stark Boys.

Development of Concept Art:

A short video showing how I developed a piece of concept art for my animated short which I have been working on. This piece was done in a couple of hours and was created in Photoshop.

Ghost In the Forest:

A test scene from the animatic of the film project I am currently working on. In this scene a ghost ventures into the forest. This was the first time I'd done 3D pans in AfterEffects so needed to do a test run to see how this scene would look like. The ghost was roughly animated in Flash and composited in afterwards in AfterEffects. This is still a work in progress...

Another recent drawing from life drawing class...definitely feeling like things are starting to click into place after all my hard work! Maria X

Its been a while since my last post but its only because I've been busy, doing things like being ever so good and taking myself along to life drawing again once a week. Here are some recent drawings.  Maria X
