Project Updates and Art

I spent the weekend adding two new projects to Benkrefta.com's Projects page. The Artist's Guide to Drawing Manga, which is my new tutorial book due out in two or three weeks time, as well as my G7 Leaders character art - promotional illustration I worked on for Save the Children. Like all the projects on the site, they're more or less quick overviews or case studies of some of the client work I've completed over my artistic career which I hope visitors will find interesting :)

Both of these took way longer than I expected. Some days consisting of 16+ hour stretches at the computer to get things done before deadline or sleeping over at the studio, so it's a relief to have them all done and dusted. Here's one of the G7 illustrations I produced and given a black and white manga screen-tone overlay:

London MCM Comic Con 2016 [May]

MCM London Artist

London's MCM Comic Con seemed huge this year, with apparently 133,000 tickets sold. It was my 9th time exhibiting, managing to sell out of a few postcard sized prints, which I don't intend to reprint and cleared out my stock of Digital Manga books. I'm still proud of Digital Manga as an all-in-one manual for character artists, so glad to see them sell and hopefully help out some aspiring Photoshop creatives.

I'd love to create some new artwork for the next con or cons I attend, but time is so limited right now with other projects. I'm booked up for the London Film and Comic Con at the end of July and if I can't get any new art done before, perhaps at least my latest book, 'The Artist's Guide to Drawing Manga' will be out and available to sell by then:)
