Pen and ink sketch of a demonic face wreathed in smoke

Black & white illustration

- general artwork

Most of the illustrations I produced for paperbacks, gaming magazines and role-playing game rule-books were interior illustrations and therefore in black and white. These were done in pencil or pen & ink, depending on the restrictions imposed by the commission. My usual method of working is to do several loose pencil sketches until I have the layout and feel right. Then I trace over the chosen sketch, transferring a clean, faint pencil image to a fresh sheet of paper. The ink-work or the full pencil shading is then done on top of this. The pictures below are 'general' illustrations, produced for non-specific articles, as well as some that I produced for my own amusement. For illustrations that were done for specific subjects or rulebooks see the other links on the left.
