Hi all!

My name's LittleBOYBlack aka Michael. Nice to meet you!

I've been drawing ever since I was born (some 26 years ago now) and have more recently taken a liking to digital art/illustration. A large portion of work I upload is is hand drawn, then post edited in Photoshop for texture/colouring (ever since I was young I've had a fear of colouring in my work. It is all too easy to spend hours on a masterpiece, then at the last minute, screw it up with a botched colouring job)!

I have two main drawing styles - grungey/sketchy, and clean/minimal, quite the polar opposites.

I currently work as a freelance graphic designer but would also like to try my hand at illustration, some examples of which you can view in my gallery!

I'm still quite new to this site so feel free to comment with useful links, crit my work, or just pop by for a plain old cuppa and a chat :)

Just a quick thank you to all my new watchers and those who've faved and commented over the past few weeks! I returned from a year long hiatus in October with Jasper [link] after months of feeling downbeat and uninspired. Now I'm feeling as creative as ever! My painting skills have also improved a lot which means I've started to be more adventurous and try to challenge myself with each new painting/drawing (I literally have tons of WIPs on the go, lol).

Anyway, thanks again for helping me get back on the wagon with your kindness! I'm hoping to stick around a lot longer this time.

Michael :)

Your style is the Bee's Knee's...Classy, wonderfully executed, and quite simply breathtaking

Your work and styles are very compelling. I'm greatly inspired by the motion and fluidity of the human form you depict. Very impressive work!
