Late Night Drawing

I annoy myself sometimes as all my creative inspiration comes to me late at night. Time goes fastest for me when I am drawing and before I know it I am into the early hours with a piece of work I find hard to put down.

Above is development of a self portrait which I started after I had finished work at 10 pm. It will probably be a few days before I carry on with this little project as I have lots happening over the weekend, will keep the blog updated with the final image.

Playing around with this idea of combining illustration and photography. Here is a hummingbird drinking from a floral ring. There are two ways that I have tested this out, using Photoshop to bring the photography together with the illustration or photograph them both together from cutting the image out. This was the latter, unfortunately my wall is textured and my light was rubbish but this shows me that that this is the best approach!

I usually adore Photoshop but this time the camera won! (of course it will be edited and text added with the program)
