Line and Color Academy
Like the Wind
I tried pushing the level of abstraction in this piece. I like it, but it’s not yet landing where I want to go.
Tentacle
Having completed about 20 portraits in the Line and Color Academy, I will be moving on next to full-body characters. Here Mr. Octopus waves goodbye to our collection of portraits.
Line and Colour Portraits
As my next step in working through the Line and Colour Academy, I have been illustrating character portraits. Below are a select few. Click any of the following images to visit the complete art collection.
AlphaCon
AlphaCon (Alphabet of Concepts) is an abstract illustrated alphabet. Each letter visualizes an abstract concept.
These illustrations are my first steps in developing a new line and colour style of art with Tim McBurnie’s Line and Color Academy. I started with abstract letters because I really enjoy this sort of design, but it also meant I didn’t have to worry about realism yet or things like anatomy and perspective.

Visual Like List
I recently purchased Tim McBurnie’s Line and Color Academy through which I will be developing a new line and colour illustration style. One assignment has been to draw my Like List (all the stuff I enjoy drawing). I think I managed to capture about 95% of my written list on this page. I’m very satisfied with the result; ’twas a fun challenge.
