HPMatt Sketchbook Three

This is the front cover for my new sketchbook that I had printed in time for Thought Bubble 2018. The cover is a slight hint in design for an upcoming character for my webcomic 'G & T' I was really happy with the way the cover turned out, especially with the colours. The book contains 24 PGS of black & white art from commissions, pin-ups, character design etc. If your interested in purchasing please follow the link here https://hpmatt.bigcartel.com/product/hpmatt-sketchbook-three

Work over the first few months of 2018

Hi guys so sorry I haven't been posting up work over the past few months! My day job (working at a private hospital) has full on. I though I would one mass post of some things I've drawn over the first few months of 2018. Some of them are commissions, portfolio work and warm ups. 

I've made a conservative effort on improving my figure skills. I've read a lot of Andrew Loomis anatomy books which are fantastic and I recommend highly if trying to improve your drawing skills. 

Am also reading 'Framed Ink' by Marcos Mateu-Mestre at the moment. This a truly great book about storytelling and is a MUST if your ever thinking about doing something of the ilk. 

Am currently working on a few comic projects at the moment which am super mega excited about. Am one page away from finishing up 'Cyn' with Tony Ezmond one of the hosts for the brilliant 'Awesome Comics Podcast' This this has a taken a long time to even get this far, because I feel that I had to improve my drawing skills. I wanted to try a few new techniques and ideas, which I think have turned out well. I'll do a separate post later this week about 'Cyn' 

The other is  'Mobile Suit Gotham' written by Mike Loniewski. This came about by one of my twitter posts of a drawing I scribbled of an alternate Batman universe where he fights and pilots a mech. Mike came up with a script with two days and sent it to me and said 'do you wanna draw it?' my response 'HELL YES!' So hopefully I'll start posting progress pics over on my instagram and twitter over the next couple of months. 

The third project is 'G + T' which is going to be first full length comic. It's going to be a bi-weekly web comic, I won't reveal much now and post up the details on a later post too.

Big Barda

Heres a recent Big Barda commission I came up with just before Christmas.

I was really really stoked how this came out. I used a few different techniques and change by pencil from a 2h to a 2b. Am going to using the 2b going forward, I really liked being a lot looser and not so intricate.

On this commission I decided to use my grey markers a little less than on previous commissions. I felt that I fill her totally in grey tones. I feel I would lose the details on her armour and that it would become very muddled and unclear.

Anyway here she is and I really feel this is one my best pieces of drawing that I can remember. Lets hope I can improve and carry on from this well into 2018 and beyond.
