Anton Emdin's Illustration and Cartooning Blog

A few months back I posted my wedding art for my good mates Ross and Wiz. Well, they’ve done us proud and have started the human creation process. Here is my prediction of what the bub will look like…

Before I start, I need to reveal to you a secret*…

For me, brush and ink work has become one of the most enjoyable things to do. I used to dread it, but since I’ve worked more and more in the digital realm, it’s left me to actually have fun and be loose with the brush…

Happy Saint Patricks Day!  Here’s a quick digital sketch of a LEPERchaun.  I apologise for the cheap joke, but my wife’s family is Irish, so it’s ok, to be sure, to be sure…

Things have been a little digital lately and I had a hankering for some real materials… so I drew this little sketch on the couch last night…

Here’s a sketch I did in return for a vintage fountain pen. Yes, dear reader, you have learned my dirty secret…

I read somewhere that cartoonists are always caricaturists, even if they are drawing fictional characters. I definitely subscribe to this ideology, and am always drawing ‘someone’ when I’m sketching…

It’s been a little hectic so I thought I’d post a quick brush and pen sketch I did last year. Drawn quickly using a sable #2 brush and Gillott 404 dip pen with india ink. I adjusted the colour balance in Photoshop.

Well, it was when I drew it, anyway. Quick brush and ink sketch.

By popular demand (I think three people have asked) here are a couple of pages from the sketchbook. These are just done with a B or 2B pencil, nothin’ fancy.
