Marmadish - Illustration 2 by Marmadish

Mon, 29 Jan 2007 18:58:59 -0000

This is another finalised illustration to be used in the childrens book I am working on. Here, Marmadish can be seen creeping uneasily through a subterranian temple of sorts. It was a really fun piece to work on due to the lighting - one of my weak points has always been keeping shading consistant with the light source. This image gave me an opportunity to practice and play with lighting to try and create a more atmospheric image. The image took four evenings to complete - one to sketch the lines, one to finalise the lines and two to colour.

This is a simple coloured sketch of Marmadish as he's ready to leave on a journey...he travels light :) I wanted to make sure I could draw him consistantly from all angles. The style ought to look the same whether I'm drawing him from the front or in profile, or indeed at any angle if I am to create a consistant story with him.

Medium: Mechanical pencil + Photoshop CS

This is one of the first images of Marmadish I drew - the idea for the character was very clear to me and so his design took about an hour to finalise. It is still one of my favourites :)

Marmadish - illustration 1 by Marmadish

This is the first illustration for the story, simply introducing Marmadish in a forest setting. He the main character in a children's book I have begun to work on, a short fox-like character who likes to travel and explore. I want the story to have a pleasent, whimsical theme and so have tried to aim for that when illustrating it.
