Having a reduced colour palette was essential in making the designs conform with each other, and to speed up the design process. I actually realized how much colour decisions are a huge area in which I typically lose time on with designs while undertaking this approach - which was a pretty key take-away.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCNwRwyMqqsCnVthoU4-1Hoe1FiY6iMj2HXBMabi4bA810Cr5Dq8Yf9FlCbKe6dLzEfQXKFVH_rMAP31CpChqrvuAEB1QKIL5db8z0dmYgCqBxvJTT1aBi182wGYrTM8k56Bmd00HFj8w/s1024/palette_001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="617" data-original-width="1024" height="193" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCNwRwyMqqsCnVthoU4-1Hoe1FiY6iMj2HXBMabi4bA810Cr5Dq8Yf9FlCbKe6dLzEfQXKFVH_rMAP31CpChqrvuAEB1QKIL5db8z0dmYgCqBxvJTT1aBi182wGYrTM8k56Bmd00HFj8w/w320-h193/palette_001.png" title="Colour breakdown" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xntx4AhAPaI8WNnqNll5qeCMd5vVkVr0NLBTBytTQ8kI0cSyt2VhXze6hmYRSEzToBqft4LifQPOqyAgJKF-pH7PHJiV1qoGSveUDHEoUiFby0LAJMhyphenhyphenm-cY4WrwHxzr57C_lANcpUg/s1012/motif.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="495" data-original-width="1012" height="157" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xntx4AhAPaI8WNnqNll5qeCMd5vVkVr0NLBTBytTQ8kI0cSyt2VhXze6hmYRSEzToBqft4LifQPOqyAgJKF-pH7PHJiV1qoGSveUDHEoUiFby0LAJMhyphenhyphenm-cY4WrwHxzr57C_lANcpUg/w320-h157/motif.png" title="Autumn motif" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As a basis I actually just googled Autumn palettes, added a lighter and darker shade to each colour, and a slightly light off-black for essential shadows and black hues. Early designs tended to reference as broader spectrum of these as possible, while later ones were a lot less fussy. Colour language fairly quickly started to form across the various characters with certain red/pink colours doing a lot of the work for skin tones, or the off-black and olive colours offering some good solutions for materials such as leather and shoes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Front-loading those decisions really allowed each character to be a case of sketching, with a focus on flow and rhythm, then applying the colour when blocking out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMkVthnI4dfgVlOv22oAmyrpXQUAtpKYxODs6d7XktcsiUZOX4CvtVnT6-X2cJ6YPcARNN2H47r7wj5trQfvpV6EsJKTVqqwjvZIxrDIVuso0GZpV-FpnCSW5T6eCQZ8xuzIDo4McNE4Q/s2048/sketch_comp.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1571" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMkVthnI4dfgVlOv22oAmyrpXQUAtpKYxODs6d7XktcsiUZOX4CvtVnT6-X2cJ6YPcARNN2H47r7wj5trQfvpV6EsJKTVqqwjvZIxrDIVuso0GZpV-FpnCSW5T6eCQZ8xuzIDo4McNE4Q/s320/sketch_comp.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While some designs have definitely worked better than others, <a href="https://www.artbybeakes.com/agentautumn" target="_blank">it's great to be able to see them all together</a> It's been pretty personally fulfilling to get a new illustration project done in 2020.

As it’s the season to apply to table at some great events so I thought it’d make sense to consolidate my comics stuff in one handy post, that's a little longer than usual.<br />
<br />
I’ve accumulated some comics and zines
that nicely pad out a half table and have exhibited at Comic and Zine events over the past 6 years, including Thought Bubble, and Dundee Zine fest.<br />

Working independently I create small runs of personal comics and zines - and each project tends to be its own separate setting and story that tries to experiment a little with small press and zine style comics. These include <i>The Factory </i>(2019), <i>Coaster</i> (2018), <i>Red Planet</i> (2018), <i>Inktober 2015</i>, and <i>Stamp</i> (2014)<br />
<br />
<i><b>The Factory</b></i> is a 40 page no-text picture book style comic telling the
life story of an embittered and unlikely industrialist. Rendered in sepia style
inks. 2019<br />

<i><b>Inktober 2015</b></i> is a 60 page comic that explores the
relationship between digital and physical, ‘analogue’ art practices, and the
impact of setting ourselves daily artistic challenges. Probably the densest if
not <i>meta</i> comic of mine, the project that both documents the inking and
explores a month of creating the images, alongside actual diary reportage of
the month. Tweets are rendered out entirely ink, as was the comics specially
created font. Features a talking giraffe, Peter Beardsley, Phil 'the Power' Taylor and me. 2017</div>

I work full time as visual artist in video games, while there's cross over - creating comics is a personal passion of mine, so i'm fascinated by little ways of making things, and maintaining creative momentum around other commitments I'll be getting involved with inktober again in this year to produce something new in 2020.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Perhaps on reflection, my work sits somewhere in the space between comics and zines, by being neither true to some of the more traditional comic formats, or being entirely in the cast of the 'lo-fi' handmade editorial of zines.<br />
<br />
I suppose put a touch more simply, (and perhaps more <i>honestly)</i> I'm making comics simply to figure out what they are. </div>

Thought it might be a good opportunity to post these guys up a little more frequently since i'm not so active on here at the moment. Each ones' a 30 min paint (typically done after work) skipping some of the less interesting ones - but they're all numbered still so you can still chart them chronologically.</div>

Well another year, another Inktober, similar to last time I eschewed the prompts wanting to follow more of a narrative sequence instead. It's good to be able to share more work more frequently, and I enjoy getting immersed in something. I'd picked up some neat inks and felt it gave things a good sepia feel so decided to do a sort of unspecified period drama.<br />

As an exercise I love Inktober, (and have explored it quite a lot through comics before) mainly it's a case of how the regular creation of drawings yields surprising result that lead you to new places. Technically my inking has probably has improved some, but it has increasingly become less about that for me. This year the key thing was story telling, so it was a case of writing/planning something then kinda pulling a picture book/ story board hat on (although the scenes are all portrait A4)<br />

The story revolves around a family business, and is a fairly tongue in cheek period drama (with murder, dubious parenting, and villainous cads) roughly in set a world (not necessarily this one) around a 1900s setting. While it's always interesting to see how one can technically and creatively respond to a daily prompt, I really got into exploring the same spaces and characters within a world. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The time constraints of producing the artwork (the end project was roughly 48 over the month) were a pretty double edged sword in the respect that it was immensely encouraging and positive to fire out sequential artwork so quickly to form a rough draft, but obviously there were certain pacing issues and design elements that couldn't really be as considered as they might have been to keep on schedule. Thar being said, i'd say the net effect was still a positive one, as getting out a first draft seems by far to yield the most benefit - as ever 'finished not perfect' remains my mantra.<div>

Like last year I was able to combine into a rough comic, which is an obvious plus in rushing through things and always super satisfying for a month long project.

One of the stand out experiences of last year (2018) was attending THU in Malta, inspiring and terrifying in equal measure.

It was a pretty full on week; one of the key take-aways I took from it as an applicable habit, was the notion of daily speed paints. I'm more than familiar with the practice, and I'd always deemed painting to be important to me, yet I hadn't done regular paints in some time - so this past year has been an opportunity to get back into the habit of digital painting, and charting the progress.</div>

Seems pretty obvious to say it's been worthwhile - but when posted up next to each other you can get a better appreciation of any direction of travel and development. I've been able to produce some stuff that's lead onto other pieces, plus really focus on a few elements such a colour and value, and observational painting in general if nothing else. I'd say keeping it to 30 mins is key, and if you hate one or two it's no biggie, but If you can make the habit stick, its a good one. </div>

It's been very nearly a solid year since my last update here and as I'm starting to look toward 2020 I may be re-evaluating which platforms I use to share and discuss my artwork.<br />
<br />
There's many other social media avenues that are good for promoting and sharing work, and considering that my stuff on here tends be a little developmental, sporadic, and not always that finished, it feels like it's neither dev diary, or portfolio. So I'll probably keep it for rambling strange posts like this, while looking into alternatives.<br />
<br />
Keep this thing going with the occasional update for now - so some more posts to follow.<br />
<br />
Naturally once I've figured this stuff out, I'll be sure to direct folk to where the good stuff's at!</div>
