Washing

I'm sharing not only what I consider worthy, but also, the bread and butter stuff that has kept me busy over the years. Like this for example,

Aide memoire

 (May 2007)

My last post got me thinking. Usually, seeing an illustration I created, even going back twenty years or so, I can recall vividly the weather, my emotional state of mind, who I was with, what was on TV at the time. The above for example, I can recall the weather as being wet and gloomy. But that's all I recall. My sketchbooks are more effective, because of their immediacy I suspect?

 How useful a tool could doodling be when studying for an exam for example?  I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking like this.

Still, I don't recall that bloody chicken though.


Found a book that goes into this - here

How to draw a dinosaur

Thought I would share this page from my first website, (created in 1998!) It’s my how to draw a dinosaur tutorial.

BISH! BASH! BOSH!

BISH! BASH! BOSH!

I have been asked to share my work process. I thought I would share a little of how one of my illustrations may progress. This was going to be complicated piece… Geography, English, math, science, art and sport, all needed to be labeled.

BISH!

A quick roughing out on paper with a blue pencil…photographed on my phone, and sent to my computer.

BASH!

Tidy up the drawing and submit for approval…

BOSH!

Client comments received. ‘We need to add IT. Redraw, re-compose and color up, done. Hope you like it,

You’re fired! - Part two

You’re fired! - Part two

You’ve probably never heard of me. Yet, I had worked on ad campaigns for some very big companies over those thirty years. And so that was another problem that was bugging me me with my work. I was very rarely allowed to even sign my work, and my illustrations had an ‘short shelf life’, (easy for you to say, Daviz!)

I was one of many unsung heroes in the advertising game. A backroom boy. I wanted some of the glory! And so, I fired myself, and embarked on my new venture - Davizindustries. With my agent gone, work was pretty thin on the ground. I couldn’t waste any time. I set to work on an educational poster. it was to be based on the Department of agriculture and fisheries posters that used to decorate fish and chip shops here in the UK.They were a sea fish identity charts. I was always fascinated by them. This was the sort of thing…

Not very decorative is it. My idea was to create something of beauty, that would grace anyone’s wall.  I struggled…

I hated this, it was the same old shite I had been doing for ages. Then, over dinner in a restaurant in Amsterdam, my beautiful partner reminded me of a Christmas card I had designed, she pointed out that the basic shape of the whale was right there!

It was!

It was a fantastic Eureka moment! So, using a basic D shape I could now design, rather than draw my poster.
