Not languishing but busy

That's my excuse for not posting anything recently. I'm working on a couple of books and also on updating my portfolio and a new set of cards for my etsy shop.

Meanwhile here is some of my sketchbook work:

Starting 2016 with my sketchbook

Here's an update on some pieces and characters I'm working on. All from my sketchbook:

Afternoon tea

Playground fun

Red Panda

Stork

Grumpy cat

Some dinosaur friends. Starting with:

Triceratops

Diplodocus

T-Rex 

Stegosaurus

Sloth - who me? 

Pangolin - I do love pangolins! 

That's all for now. I'm working on some new pieces and also some new designs for my shop.

Thanks for looking at my blog,

Step into Christmas

Sorry but I seem to have that song stuck in play in my head! 

Anyway, I've been busy finishing private commissions in time for Christmas - which I won't post up until after the season.  

Meanwhile I've been writing my Christmas cards and doodling on a lot of envelopes and also trying to participate in #illo_advent every day. I haven't quite managed that but here are some I've done in my sketchbook:

Thank you for reading my blog and, if I don't post again before Christmas, I wish you a joyous Christmas time.

Foxes and brush pens

I've been experimenting a bit more with my brush pen and I like the looseness it gives. Also it is permanent ink so I can paint over it too.

Here's some work from my sketchbook and other work:

I'm working on making this a more finished piece.

I've also been drawing red pandas a lot recently

Elves!

I've been joining in with #illo_advent 

I'm not sure if I'll manage every day but I'm going to try!

24 sleeps to go

Even elves have shopping nightmares with their children.
