"Wolf Pig"

digital. pencil underdrawing by Peaches McGee.

A colleague drew this cute little pencil sketch. I colored it to be used as an assignment example in Concpetual Drawing class.

"Tiger"

~7"x10". green ink.

"Fawn"

~9"x9". sepia ink.

"The Origins of Wednesday"

pencil, then digital (Illustrator).

Poster design for friends of mine as a Christmas present.

Odin imagery from Norse mythology.

"Justice"

digital.

Made for the Italian online card game thing.
Final image won't be viewed any larger than the preview above.

As you can see in the pencil drawing, I forgot the blindfold, oops!

"Ars Gratis Ars"

~8.5"x11". gouache, mixed media.

Made for commission.

"Justice" (WIPs)

Two early concept sketches to show to client.

This is for another card in the online game I'm working on.
I was told to show "Justice" as some sort of knight in shiny armor.
These two I made quickly. When I get some client feedback, I'll
redraw it with more definition.

I've mentioned in other posts that these images are only going to
exist digitally in the game and will be about the size of the preview
images above. So the overall silhouette matters more than precision
rendering.

"Vicarial Grace & Good Fellowship" and "Vicarial Spade & Pail"

~7.5" x 11". ink.
~5" x 11". ink.

"The Vicar's Fool"

~5" x 9". pencil.

"Ekoshi"

8.5" x 11". gouache, mixed media.

Commissioned image made using the painted printout technique I used earlier for the Venger painting.

Below are the process steps: the pencil drawing and the digital rough that I printed.



I've developed this thing for cloud forms recently.

"Venger"

12"x16" gouache.

This was made as a test for a technique I want to get better at, as it will help me work more efficiently:

Initial pencil drawing on chipboard. Scanned in at high resolution.

Simply blocked in colors digitally with photoshop, preserved chipboard texture.

Printed out laser color copy and affixed to wood with lots of clear acrylic medium.

Finished the painting with gouache.

Digitally I only worried about the mid-range to darks, and I saved the mid-range to highlights for actual paint, since that tends to be about detail work anyway.

After the digital stage, the image is still flexible enough to be changed and incorporate client feedback. When that's good, I can then use that as the underwork for the painted finish.

"Otter"

digital.

Commissioned image.

"Hiver"

8.5" x 11". gouache.

Commissioned image. Here's the underdrawing:

"Tufted Titmouse" (detail)

painted onto an irregularly shaped piece of wood.

I would love to illustrate a book in this style. And will very likely draw

"Joshua 2"

14" x 16". gouache, pencil.

About two hours total, with about a week of looking at it between each hour.

Compared to the work-in-progress, you might can see that it was mostly a matter of developing the ear and nose further, as well as refining the modelling in the cheek.

13.5" x 19.5". gouache, pencil.
