Sketchbook update and other things 17th October 2015

After a busy few weeks sending things off to print, in time for some fairs I have a stall at, I thought I'd catch up here with some of the work I've been doing.

I've been working on some new products for my Etsy Shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlayfulStories and also some fairs that I have a stall at (check out my Facebook page for more details https://www.facebook.com/tsillustrator )

Lots of goodies coming soon!

Chicks Etc.

I've been having fun in the sun and brought my sketchbook with me (of course). Apart from drawing some lovely, funny little birds that rove around in gangs and hop on the sunbeds, I've been doing the Daily Doodle (@Daily__Doodle). 

This week Top That Publishing have been giving the day's topic and it's been really interesting. Monday's was the Jabberwocky, Tuesday we had Fight Like A Pirate and today's was What did Hattie Peck Hatch.

I remembered to bring my travel watercolour set. Even though I don't usually paint using that medium it's a handy little set and colour pencils just aren't doing it for me.

Here are some pictures from my sketchbook this week (I shall do a Daily Doodle round up at the end of the week):

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.
