Hanbury

It was really useful and interesting hearing the speakers at Hanbury. I got to have a chat with Michael Crozier form Dusk Studio. Hearing his advice and seeing his work has been a big inspirational kick. It's made me curious about learning the 3D software and attempting to make work as beautiful as the Cthulhu Mythos series. Absolutely stunning work. It's a good reminder of what's possible.

D&AD - Adidas brief

For the D&AD adidas brief I've decided to use it as an excuse to brush up on my Adobe Illustrator skills. It's probably a brief more suited to a slick advertising campaign so I've used it to create a short story about a girl isolated in her bedroom who is drawn to her local tennis club. 

It's been useful to use the perspective tool and learn a new way I can get a solid back drop I can drop my hand drawn characters in for future work. It's pretty simple but I'm pleased with how much I've learnt messing around with Illustrator. I've come to hate it a it less. It feels so cold sometimes but making a little bedroom was actually quite fun. It'll be useful for when I need perspectives or for simple manual or architectural illustration.
