New, Original Comic Art / Manga Art now Available

I'm having a little clear out and decided I'd offer up some of my original A3 pencil and ink drawings for sale. Check out the shop to see what's available :) I'm pricing them all reasonably inexpensive for now and can post them worldwide. Some are works featured in my How-To books such as Digital Manga, so you might recognize a few of the designs if you already own a copy of it. 

I always think it's a good idea to hang on to originals to be able to look back on and have drawings dating back to 1993! At the same time, I thought I could spare a dozen or so and make room for newer work.

These days I'm working purely digitally a lot of the time, so traditional work will always be limited. Let me know if you'd either be interested in commissioning me to produce original artwork or would like to see more original art sold on this site.

Here's a few sketches I doodled recently. I originally posted them on Instagram, but I'm aware of the fact a lot of people don't use it, so thought I'd add them to my main website blog. I kinda like Instagram as a platform for posting sketches. Final works would probably be better off on Tumblr. I share all my Instagram stuff to Tumblr anyway by default, just to cover all the bases although since having had my own domain for probably around 15 years, I still prefer sharing work on my own blog and web site :)

Some things aren't worth posting

I’ve drawn hundreds of unsuccessful sketches like theses over the years, which ultimately get thrown away. They represent the worst of my ability! But I wanted to share them so aspiring artist know that:

1. Drawing something good is hard! Be proud of yourself when you achieve it.
2. Everyone has off days
3. Just because you drew a thing, ask yourself is it always worth throwing it up on the internet?

Also here's some caricatures

I doodled these in an attempt to merge real people into a comic book or manga style. I'm just experimenting here and still need practice. But, I learned a thing or two.
