Ewok vs Stormtrooper

To celebrate 4th May unofficial International Star Wars day, I decided to paint an Ewok. In my piece of fan art, the Ewok has taken down a Stormtrooper single handedly and is beating him senseless. They may look cute, but Ewoks are hard boiled assassins!

Here is a break down of the working process:-

Red pandas

I created jiu jitsu some red pandas sparring for my client Tatami Fightwear. The result is this rashguard.

Here's how I put the artwork together:

Software review - Krita - First look

Krita is a full function digital painting program with a loyal fanbase and more importantly, a price tag that can't be beat...it's free.

Dragon drawing video

A short clip showing me drawing a chinese dragon in my Moleskine sketchbook. The actual drawing took about an hour of time. I trimmed a lot of the footage and increased the speed 8 times. All edited on Windows Movie Maker, yay for simple free apps!

It was quite enjoyable to make, although a bit nervy as it was a bit like drawing live so I couldn't afford to make too many mistakes.

More videos soon.

My digital drawing and painting skills have improved since 2012 so I wanted to use this opportunity to improve on the 2012 version with finer details and better composition while still honouring the first version.

Here's how I did it:
