Hey I'm Nathan Hill and I'm an illustrator by day and just some average guy who enjoys his sleep by night! Born and bred Englishman and currently in my final year at uni. This blog is mainly dedicated to my own personal projects and random doodles!
And so today I’m proud to reveal the logo for @provisionalacttheatrecompany pride festival Out In The Shires! The opening night takes place in Velvet Night Club, Worcester from 8pm on Saturday the 22nd of September!

circularheartbeat asked: Hello! I'm an artist, and up until recently I've done all my work traditionally. I've been learning more about digital color lately-- it's been slow going and a lot of self-teaching. I came across some of your work and I love the style! I was wondering if you could share anything about how you texture pieces?
Hey!! Well, I kind of have a bunch of different ways I work now; I have some pieces that start out traditionally as black-and-white ink washes (this is a recent example, this is a recent all-Photoshop piece that imitates the ink washes with Kyle Webster brushes), some pieces that are basically digital paintings (this is an example; the other examples I have I can’t share yet), some pieces that are otherwise flat and only have a noise layer on top (example), and then pieces that have lots of Photoshop pencil textures (example 1, example 2, example 3).
My guess is that you’re most interested in the pencil texture ones - I don’t have a secret, I just use a PS brush to draw all of those little hatches, basically as if I were using a colored pencil. With all my digital art, I try as much as possible to approach things the same way I would on paper; this extends to textures. Don’t think about texture as a thing you add in post or “do” to a piece- think about it as the natural result of doing shading/coloring/what-have-you in a certain manner or with a certain brush.
Outside of an occasional grain/noise texture, I don’t put overlay textures on top of my pieces; I used to when I was a teenager, but I would advise against doing too much of that. Unless you do it really well, it can make your picture look flat.
