Today the sun is shining in on my desk and it is a perfect day for drawing, but it’s that time of year again and I’m reluctantly going to take myself off to write reports. Just as well I had this illustration on hand, it is dedicated to Jessie, who loves shopping.

birthday drawing now coloured

Posted on Thursday 1 May 2008

It has taken some time to convert the sketch to a final piece, there are just not enough hours in the day. The blank space in the corner is for some text. While visiting my favorite art shop, I have found some suitable water colour paper to use with my printer; it has made quite a nice card.

It’s fun to design some personalised cards for special occassions.

I’ll print these out and see if I can make them into cards.

I think this drawing will be worth turning into a finished piece.

Some dinosaurs to make you smile.

Important things to remember

Posted on Thursday 17 April 2008

I am slowly getting used to this new format, everything is slightly different. Hopefully I’m ironing out the glitches.

I’m disappointed that I missed out on buying one of these.

I really liked this post at Fox in Sox. It has inspired me to spend more time drawing. As a result, I have posted some sketches, they’re of important things to remember. You know: switch the iron off, pack the lunches, second-half yard duty, of course pick the children up from school……

……and a party to organise.

Chloe’s first picture book

Posted on Thursday 27 March 2008

As expected my illustration has changed a little from the sketch ( see previous post). I decided to add a side profile and had to look around at some picture books to see the best way of doing this.

It holidays here again. Anyway lots of drawing and making going on. See Chloe’s first picture book. So sweet and each page is numbered. Drawn on the back of a cereal box.

sketch

Posted on Tuesday 25 March 2008

I don’t often put my sketches up here, but I quite like this one. It is an illustration I’m working on for a Kinder Expo.

Hi there, another week has flown and this one is just in time for illustration friday! The girls are enjoying tending their vegetable garden. Mind you they would be watering it with rain or tank water due to strict water restrictions.
