Space Invaderish


I'm looking to go bigger at this point. Works on small canvas are ok but doubling the canvas size is pushing me to be bolder and more experimental.


Let's gooo!

Tetris Blocks - Experimenting


Some color combinations and experimenting.


Trying to improve my perspective work with some simple block / tetris themed patterns.

Although not perfect, the practice got me where I wanted - time to introduce pixels to the next pieces.


Tetris - Perspective


Pretty chuffed to find these in Tokyu Hands, really going to come in handy with the perspective work later.


Ultra realism is a little out of my league, but focus on detail is crucial. 


Drawing something as simplistic as a smooth wooden block, foreground sharpness and background blur are going to need attention.

Blue Pixels

Working on acrylics is going well enough, so it seemed time to try something new.


Using these wooden cubes, avaialable at Tokyu Hands, I'm wanting to create an animation of sonic the hedgehog. Sounds far fetched but it'll definitely keep me on my toes.

Pixel Collision

If cubes become the focus for the next batch of work, light is going to play an integral role in bringing the piece to life.

A4 - Wood / Acrylics

Cubes themselves are simple to sketch, but ultimately boring without attention to lighting.

Harshly illuminating one area created some interesting ideas.

Tetris Pixelation

Applying Tetris inspired work to portraits was much more difficult that anticipated.


I missed a good chunk of drawing in perspective classes as a youngster and it shows.


Although I would like to look into robotic anatomy more thoroughly in the near future, at this point I'm going simply. Super simple, until competent with geometric shapes.
