Toothbrush Animation

A flash animation with sound for a college assignment. I used a free file converter to make the animation compatible with blogger so apologies if the quality seems poor.

[Edit: It's the blogger player that is bad. Here is the video in better quality.]

Still Life in Acrylic

Still life of three objects, each with different distinct textures, one of which is black. I chose an old pair of football sock, a semi-peeled orange, and a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Acrylic.

Reed animation gif

Still work to be done on this, I need to draw more frames for the take off, but here is a gif of a classically animated reed blown by the wind done in blue pencil.

Quick sketches and Watercolours

These are some pieces from my life drawing sketchbook. I will hopefully be filling it by the end of this week.

Creeping on people across from me while having lunch >:)
I found that Heuston Station is a great place for drawing people:

A head study in blue pencil there of my classmate Stephen Poole I did while waiting to see Wreck-It Ralph. These head studies were done in class, in watercolour and marker.

I like the bottom rose. I'll fix the top one later :/ Watercolour and pen.

Self Portrait Acrylic

A self portait in acrylic
....That's me, so it is.......

Acrylic Portraits of Des and Alan

Current work now. Here's two portraits in acrylic I did a couple of months ago. These along with most of the work I will post from now until May will make up my port folio for the Higher National Diploma in Animation course in ISA.

Oil Portrait of The Joker

Another old piece of work I like, Heath Ledger's Joker.

Some Old Sketches

A few sketches I had lying around from about 5 or 6 years ago, I think. Drawn from magazines, mainly footballers.

 Sketch of Anderson, of Manchester United. Or, for the non-football fans, this lad.

Brad Pitt in Fight Club.

Zach Braff, of Scrubs fame.

Former Manchester United midfielder and European Player of the Year, Bobby Charlton. This dude.

Manchester United winger, Ryan Giggs. ...This lad.


All from photos, all pretty old, but I might do some more soon. I do enjoy the aul portrait.
