Pirates. Always Pirates!

From my sketchbook:

I've had a book idea in my head for about a year and have been sketching the characters on and off. The girl Captain has never quite been right. Until now! I am finally pleased with this as I think the sketch captures her personality well.

Daily Doodle Round Up

It's been a bit tricky but I've managed to do all the @Daily__Doodle suggestions this week (and the one from last week too), just! This week was Classic children's books. I may have gone slightly off piste with some of the topics but that doesn't really matter. It's all about the taking part!

If you've not had a go they are on Facebook and Twitter. Pick up a pen, pencil, crayon or whatever you like and join in the fun.

Lawrence The Red Bear:

The Very Hungry Caterpillar:

The Cat In The Hat:

Room On The Broom:

Peter Rabbit:

The Tiger Who Came To Tea:

It starts again on Monday morning. Pens at the ready!

Back to Life

From my sketchbook:

I've been drawing a lot of mice and little creatures so I'm reminding my hand and eyes how to draw people again. 

Here's Chickpea from a day trip we went on this week.

Something A Little Different...

A picture I've just finished for a little girl's bedroom. I hope she likes it; especially as it is a picture of her! 

After drawing and drawing this picture it just seemed to work in this style. Most important was the hat and the little cloth the fairy is holding. I took the design from the picture of the original cloth I was sent and used it on the fairy's clothes.

Hats!

From my sketchbook: Today has been about hats and snow. Chickpea likes both of these things. She also loves marching.
