  • A study of Toulouse’s ‘Eldorado’ poster (not original, this is a study only) 🎨 currently learning how to use gouache

I’ve noticed recently a lot of designers getting called out for copying others. In my opinion there are two kinds of copying: 1) straight up plagiarism, where you’re profiting off of someone else’s work and 2) studying, where you’re copying and scrutinising others’ work for the purpose of learning.

Scenario number one is never acceptable, but scenario number two is an act that most (if not all) of history’s great artists have practised. If you do study to learn, I would encourage you to study a wide range of creatives’ work - not only those in your field - and certainly don’t try to sell a study as your own work.

This particular study was produced to educate me on the work of a painter I admire, and to open my mind to new possibilities in design.

Cheeky disclaimer: this was not a paid job and is not for sale.

  • Good morning ✌️ here are some studies based on random objects around my studio.

This plant is called a ‘stookie’, which I thought was a fun word 🌵

  • Some weird and wonky shape studies

Inspired by @zwartekoffie recently to dig a little deeper into the fundamentals - go peep his work if you haven’t already! ✌️

  • I’m like 99% certain I saw a lynx today (the big cat kind, not the deodorant) but apparently they’re endangered in Korea so I guess maybe it was just a particularly large cat? I don’t know. Anyway I used that mental image as a reference for this questionable drawing.

  • Peaks and troughs - a pattern I designed to communicate the urge to constantly be experimenting. Every peak and trough in the pattern is slightly different from the last, but you can see over time that there’s a pattern - something about the work that’s constant.

Or it’s just a cool pattern. Interpret as you will.

  • I picked up my old @wilson glove this morning and the lettering caught my eye, so I thought I’d do a study on it.

Here’s my own spin on these super cool letters ✌️
