Christmas Time is Beer again

A Yuletide greeting from The Drunk Beatles. 

A very merry Christmas to all the readers of the Between Clark and Hilldale. I've got a few projects on the boil at the moment which are planned see the light of day in 2013. I'll be posting my progress over the next few months which will include a lot more from these guys. Have a good one.

Mystery Tour

The Beatles project is in a state of limbo at the moment as I've yet to find the time to refine the vector art, but galvanised by tonight's showing of Magical Mystery Tour I thought I'd share a few of the sketchbook pieces for that period.

Beatles

Another month goes by without a post, but I have been busy scribbling away. I'm currently putting together ideas for a Beatles related project which hopefully I can begin rendering in Illustrator soon. I'll be sure to keep you updated as the project progresses but for now here's a selection of character sketches to wet your appetite.

selected roughs

Here's a choice selection of sketchbook character workouts from the past couple of weeks.

Heads
