Just some more bits and bobs

Sketchbook drawings and various scraps, all experimental really. This is all related to the same project, even though it may not seem like it at the moment.

I'm not really sure about the colours on this. I've discovered that I actually find colour very difficult. Probably comes from years of being a little goth.

Variation on a previous experiment. I kind of like this better, just for the contrast of realism and scribbly ink drawing. Typography wasn't really well thought-out though.

More ink/bleach. Yeah.

Sorry grandma for inadvertently making you look sort of like Jabba the Hutt. Yeah, this is sort of a poor-man's Raymond Pettibon, but I enjoyed working in such a loose, quick way. Despite everything, I still kind of like this somehow. The quote is from The Umbrella Academy. 

Inky little drawings

Stuff I've been trying out today. The first two have a little bleach as well, you know me.

Been playing around with some imagery and layering today

Not sure about this yet. I think some different materials/processes might be needed for the background image. Text could stand out more too.

More experiments with ink and bleach

I guess I just like inhaling the fumes.

These are pretty rough, obviously. I spend quite a lot of my time trying to do very detailed drawings and get them exactly right, but I actually think fast, scribbly ink drawings can look pretty cool. And then I pour bleach over them, cuz, well, why not.
I've discovered I like drawing people without eyes as much as, if not more than, I like drawing eyes. It makes me think of Lobster Johnson.
