ART OF MATTHEW HAMILTON

This is a portrait of the great Lionel Messi that I painted recently. I stopped art for a long time and have found my passion again with a focus on becoming a better painter and illustrating sports icons. More work is on the way!

I finished the latest season of Masters of the Universe Revelation on Netflix and felt inspired to do my own version of my favourite characters from the show. Kicking it off with the main man He-man.

Creature Riders 3. This is the third drawing for my Creature Riders personal project, more on the way!

Creature Riders 2. This is the second drawing for my Creature Riders project I am currently working on, more on the way.

Creature Riders 1. I started this project a few months ago but never saw it through to completion. I will be creating 8 drawings of original fantasy creatures with riders who have been trained to ride them.

This is my take on King Bumi from Avatar The Last Airbender. I decided to ink this sketch and add simple colours. I will be working on Zuko next :)

Iroh fanart sketch from Avatar the Last Airbender. Had a lot of fun working on this as Iroh is in the top tier of my favourite characters from the show. The next character I will be working on is King Bumi.

My version of Toph as a young adult from Avatar the Last Airbender. Iroh is next :)

Zuko portrait sketch. Having a lot of fun working on these Avatar fan art sketches, Toph is next! 

I am re-watching Avatar The Last Airbender atm and felt inspired to do portrait sketches of my favourite characters from the show. This is my take on Aang as an Adult.

I have realized my animal visual library is small, so I have decided to do more studies of animals to build up that library. I am currently studying Deers at the moment, more to come.

I used references of sloths and otters to sketch out this creature.

Going forward, I am trying to make an effort to post a new creature design every day or second day on social media. For this concept, I used Rhinos as a basis to create something new and here is the end result.

For this sketch, I used a variety of tree images to design this Forest Creature. I used digital pencils in photoshop.

Some more portrait studies. 

More portrait studies using digital pencils.

I have been doing a lot of portrait sketching lately using digital pencils and charcoal brushes, really impressive how similar they look to traditional mediums. #drawing #sketch #sketching #sketchbook #portrait #portraits #portraitdrawing #dailysketch #digitalart #artist #character #characterart #characterdesign #sketchdaily #sketchart
