Postcards

Hello! I've been very busy working on some things which unfortunately I cannot show just yet. It's all very girly and includes lots of pink and purples. I'm very excited about it all and fingers crossed it goes onto being published.

I've also decided (finally) to get some postcards printed to sent to publishers. And here they are from the lovely moo.com.

I went with my favourite illustration for the front - Science and the Zoo which I originally did for our first monthly theme over at The Pencil Play Collective.

I  decided that I needed a little illustration on the back that fitted in with the front. My style has changed a little since doing the front illustration so it was fun and challenging to get Mr. Scientist Monkey to look like he belonged in the same lab.

And here they are together. Moo.com did a great job as always and they're fab quality - why not check them out?

Playing Football

Linework

And finished

More people drawing. I wanted to give him some movement so gave him a football to kick. It was also originally part of a school yard illustration I started which got scrapped.

Hello?

Couple of teenage girls nattering on the phone.

Mermaids

This was a sample I was asked to do for an activity book by the same publisher of my book. I haven't drawn a mermaid for a long time and it was challenging to do something a bit different. Suffice to say it was described as 'perfect' and means I could be doing a few activity books for them pretty soon :)

Tree Climbing

 

Just adding to the ol 'folio.

And a few close ups. Enjoy!

Spring Cleaning

This month's theme over on The Pencil Play Collective is Spring Cleaning.

A few close ups.

 

In other news, I've been really busy the past few weeks working on a children's picture book. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to share any sneak peeks but you will be able to get a copy of your very own when it's published in the summer!  I'm super excited about being a published illustrator and will share LOTS of photos when I receive a copy :)

Dragons and things

Here are a couple of dragons for you. 

A few close ups.

Can't tell you how much stress the red one was giving me! Couldn't decide what colour to make him. Colour is always a tricky one.

I've been a little quiet recently as I'm waiting to hear back about a possible exciting project. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that it all goes ahead! Will share more when I can.

And now for something completely different...
