Digital Warm-ups.

I've been writing my next comic story, so I've not done very much drawing lately. Last night I decided to give up typing for a few hours, and asked for people to tag me in their selfies so I could draw them.

These are the two I did last night, and finished this morning. Thank you to Sherri and Wensdi for letting me draw their lovely faces, and sorry to everyone else. I ran out of time!

Live Drawing @ Travelling Man Manchester!


(This picture yoinked from Travelling Man's twitter)

Last Sunday a bunch of cool comic makers descended on Travelling Man in Manchester to cover their windows in comic book characters. It was all because today is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

Here's a bunch of the pictures I took! If you're heading out today then a visit to your local comic book store is extra worth it, and if that store is Travelling Man in Manchester then you should definitely grab a picture with our artwork ;)

Hey, look, my drawing and my comic! @hevs










My final drawing! I drew Mal and Molly from Lumberjanes, which I don't think is a free title this year, but you should treat yourself to it anyway because it is AMAZING.

Here's some links for my fellow artists from the day:

An Anniversary Commission

Here's a lovely commission I was asked to work on recently. Alex, Libby and Harry the dog!

I was super happy to be asked to do this by Libby, as I've known both her and Alex for a while - and it meant a lot to me to be able to do something to help them celebrate their first anniversary as a couple. It was also lovely to draw Harry, as he was a very good dog, whom I had the pleasure of meeting several times.



Bonus picture of me a good few years back, petting Harry:


I really enjoy creating pieces like these - there's nothing better than taking a load of reference, ideas, little personal ideas.. and crafting them into a final piece. Also, I love drawing good dogs!
