Evening On The Lake WIP

Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art

I'm currently working on my third large animal painting. Below you can see the rough sketch and three shots taken with my phone in the studio over 3 days. The first painting day I finished a very basic underpainting, sepia in the foreground and cobalt blue in the background hills. For days two and three I have been glazing the background very carefully and started to flesh out the local colours in the foreground boats and figures.

'Investing In Stockport' Animation Design

Emmeline Illustration

Towards the end of last year I was asked to work on my very first animation for a client! Chog Zoo Animation wanted me on board for a commission to work on an animation for Stockport Council - and I jumped at the chance to work as part of a team, and see my characters in motion! The animation was based around the not-so-nice proposed budget cuts, and the idea of working with the local community to hear their opinion on moving forwards.

Introducing Obsidian

Fonts by Hoefler&Co.

I’ve always wanted to create a decorative display face in the Regency style , one of those stout, industrial alphabets enlivened by bright, detailed illumination. Toward the end of our Surveyor project, a deep exploration of engraved map lettering, this idea started to feel especially relevant: engraved maps were often badged with elaborate title pieces , and the more time we spent with these hatched and shadowed letters, the more we could imagine how some of their visual qualities could b

'Knitting Circle'

Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art

Knitting Circle Watercolour & Gouache 24 x 31cm This one was finished over the New Year break (no rest for the wicked). I thought I was going to have an absolute nightmare with making the blanket look woollen but it turns out my continual glazing technique works really well when it comes to soft fuzzy texture. At some stages I even just brushed clean water over the top of the blanket squares just to soften edges when drybrush wasn't working.

New Website!

Emmeline Illustration

Guys, I have something big to tell you.I have a brand new website! It's great to have a bit of a fresh start for 2015, and this is something I've been thinking of doing for a while.

Illustrated Advent

Emmeline Illustration

Following on from my Inktober challenge a few months ago, I decided to grab that motivation by the horns and take part in 'Illustrated Advent', that is, to create one festive illustration per day in the run up to Christmas. Sorry, you're probably sick of snowy scenes and Christmas jumpers - but this year I allowed myself some time off and thought this was definitely worth a share post-December.
