Creating a Graphic Novel : Art – Food – Photography

“Bond, James Bond”. The tagline of from MI6’s most famous spy is not uttered once through the whole movie. Quantum of Solace picks up about 30 minutes from Casino Royale (Hint : Watch Casino Royale again before Quantum of Solace) with Bond tracking down a secret organisation with nefarious plans in Bolivia. Through the movie, […]

Gregory Woronchak is freelance artist who’s worked on storyboards for a few TV series as well as on a computer game (Prince of Persia : The 2 Thrones). He’s got a resume of some amazing sequential work and pin-up work and took the time out to answer some questions for this site. Where are you […]

Following on from Week 5, the class started with some gesture drawing. It’s an easy way to capture the sense of movement of the model. I hope to develop a gesture drawing into something more academic. It’s a good way to get started on getting a “sense” of the subject. During Week 6, we revisited […]

I couldn’t make it to Week 4 so Week 3 was my latest update. The class started with 15 sec then 30 sec and finally 1 minute gesture drawings. The combined poses on the one page gives it a life like quality. You have to concentrate to pick out the different poses. The next task […]

Watchmen by Alan Moore and David Gibson is one of the most definitive graphic novels of all time. With the movie (Zack Synder) coming out soon, I borrowed the TPB from the library again. It’s been quite a while since I last read it and I seem to be picking a lot of detail I […]

It’s not a Green Tea Latte. An affogato is a shot of espresso topped with ice-cream or gelato. The one featured here is with Rum & Raisin ice-cream from a little gelato shop just north of Sydney CBD. The gelato will melt ever so slightly over hot coffee. I think one of the best gelato […]
