Building fun

 

 

Hello. I needed to get back into the fun of drawing and the easiest way for me to do that is to draw some buildings.  I am going to be creating some patterns with buildings soon, watch out for those. 
In other news, the author of Dolly's Diary and myself will be doing another book signing in Eastbourne on the 14th of September, 9-12 at Martha's Kitchen in Meads Village. Pop on over if you fancy a new signed book! If you are still interested but can't make it to Eastbourne we are selling the book online at http://www.dollysdiary.com

Its a feather!

I drew this a few months ago while I was trying out pattern and using white on a darker colour. I quite like the outcome, I think I'm going to give a few more a go and try to create a pattern with different feathers. 

Doodlepedia!

So here it is, one of the books I have been working on with DK. It is called Doodlepedia and it is a doodle/encyclopedia for children to have fun and learn. Above are some samples of illustrations within the book. The top two inside pages are my own and the bottom is Emma Atkinson  
There is more to come from these books, so watch this space!

   

 Hello everyone.

It has been a while since I have had time to just draw what I want for fun. I have never tried to create images of famous people so I thought I would give it a go. I also wanted to loosen up a bit and create fun imagery so I went back to my good old friend 'blind drawing'. I think more of that is soon to take place as I really enjoy it. I would like to do some more celeb drawings, any suggestions?
Let me know what you think, always appreciate your comments.
Have a good weekend.

Room with a view

Just a few pages from my sketch book. The page of the fields is the veiw from my window, I'm very lucky! I think I'm going to start doing more patterny type things. Of veiws and others similar to the sewing bits and bobs.

Don't forget about the give away! The details are in the post below :)

New Book?

This cheeky chap will be in a book I am working on at the moment.

A couple of sketches

A couple of little illustrations I did last week to keep me busy.

In other news my bag design was featured on Leap Media for Baker toms.

I have been very busy with DK work and the new children's book I have been working on. Hopefully I can show you some images soon. I still haven't manged to work out why no body can leave comments, and why I can't leave any for you.

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

Have a chipper day

Some sketches of birds! I will soon be colouring up the birds and text to make into cards, patterens and textiles, all coming soon! I hope you are all well and you have a chipper weekend.

Hever Castle

As I mentioned in an earlier blog I went to Hever Castle with a couple of friends. These are a few sketches from the painting dotted around the walls of the castle.

I was also inspired to create some historic characters after meeting Emma Carisle, she has a lovely style so go an check her out.

Kiddywinkles

A few sketchs put to colour. I'm trying to work on my younger characters, next I will try to sketch a group of children together, which for some reason I haven't really done yet. I hope you all enjoyed the bank holiday weekend. I went to Hever Castle for the first time and its truly beautiful, if you ever get the chance to take a look around the gardens I would highly recomend it :)

Some men with beards, people from Peru and a bird!

A few sketches I did last night. Also I have a question, when I am trying to leave comments it tells me I do not have access to view that page? Does any one know how I can fix this?

Character design

Hello everybody, hello new followers, welcome!

So what have I been doing? To be honest not much, I went away for a little while, saw the grandparents. My grandma said she was going to smash my face in and boil my grandpas head! Oh what fun families are!

I have been doing a bit of work for DK, I went to have a meeting with some other people, I had a portfolio work shop with The Bright Group, which was helpful. And yesterday I did some sketches, one of which maybe for a future project!! I was also mentioned on Imagine That blog, check it out...if you want.....but you should....

I hope you are all hunkydorry! :)
