Coloured Pencil Characters

Airabella is a farmer of lavender...I am conjuring up her little short story as I work on her.

I am thinking that this is the year I get my first book out there with all my coloured pencil characters!

A Kind Night

Here's that new image I am slowly plugging away on inspired by the Herons we see when kayaking.

I know unfortunately that Herons eat all kinds of creatures, so this image is called "A Kind Night"

Pretty Lady

This is one of my newest mixed media ladies and I have to say I am loving her.

I don't know where she's going quite yet, I started her without a concept but I'll get there.

Rainbow Rabbit Coming Along

I roughed in where I want the main rainbow colours...

This is going to be a cool one and perfect for t-shirts and such don't you think?

Whimbley Underway

Hey guys, I started a new little character, his name is Whimbley...he's going to be a pretty cool guy.

He's a stargazer, I know that already, the rest of the story to come sooner than later hopefully!

Henrie's Line Portrait

Back in the summer I started this ink drawing of Henrie and I totally forgot to show you!

I just recently put the finishing touches on it...I'll show you soon.

Don't forget to sign up to Keep In Touch, if your not already, my next issue is going out really soon.

A Lino Of Flynn

When I say the rabbits we adopt and rescue are my main inspirations I really mean it...

There's no mistaking it, our Flynn is the model for one of my newest lino...I hope I do him justice!

Cutting Out The Colour

One of my favourite parts of making my images is the part where I releash the image from it's paper suuroundings, it's a delicate somewhat time consuming process sometimes but it's meditative too.

It goes much more smoothly when I work on a thin less textured paper which I tend to use for these butterflies because they are so small.  I always get a few colored & cut out before I get them onto their backgrounds.

Teela Watercolour

I've been working on a watercolour version of my beloved departed Teela...

Have you seen it on Instagram maybe?  If not here's a better looksee anyhow.
