Anime Girl - Something I doodled over the weekend. I was experimenting with different drawing styles again and after this one, I finally decided to give up on my Edding 1800 profipens. I’ve been using them to ink for a while, but the ink flow sucks, they’re not true black and they generally seem too dry to draw a consistent non-grainy line. I want to find a new set of super fine line-line pens which work for me. Suggestions welcome!
Generic girl face - doodled the face over the weekend and chucked in a few digital tones on top.

It was my first time attending a convention-like event at the National Space Centre as an artist. I probably wouldn’t have considered it had I not been invited but ‘twas a cool experience and was really nice to meet fellow manga inspired artists and fans alike.
I spent most of my time in the Artists Alley along with talented artists: Chie Kutsuwada, Laura Watton-Davies, Jodie Azhar, Emma Vieceli and Dock, selling postcard prints of some of the character pin-ups I’d worked on and chatting to fans about what I do and art-related things.
I’ll probably attend a few more similar events in the future to get a greater feel for the whole con-going experience and see how they compare 🙂
Attending Japanorama at the National Space Centre
The National Space Centre is an all-weather attraction for all the family, situated in the heart of the Midlands, located just two miles from Leicester city centre. Why not take a tour round the centre, or check out our special events and birthday parties for a full range of ideas to make your visit out of this world.
I’ve been asked to attend a Japanese themed event being held in Leicester on 4th-5th of May 2013. I’ll be in the artists area selling my signature and taking commissions, so feel free to drop by and say hello ^_^

This was a quick character composition I put together for the Japanorama Event. Not sure if it will end up being used or not?
These are an example of what happens when I’m sketching out manga styles off the top of my head trying to find the right one for a particular project. I’ve probably drawn hundreds of crappy sketches like this over the years which ultimately get thrown away. They represent the worst of my ability, but thought I’d share them just so ya know drawing something good is hard! Even for someone who does it a lot.
