A Lot of Circles and Some Fish.

Blogged 017

Drawing lots of circles with coloured pencils is hard work.

It created quite a nice texture though.

Fish are cut from paper splattered with watercolours apart from the top left one which is cut from a colour pencil rubbing.

Technique from OneMinuteMuse.

Really like this technique. Will try this with different 'over' colours in future.

Splat

Blogged 015
Had fun making a splatter picture using watercolour pans, a paint brush and a toothbrush.

Possibly my favourite pages so far.

Maybe.

An Eww and an Ewe.

Blogged 013

Truly hate this page. Glad the picture is blurry too. I have no idea what made me think this was a good idea. I think i just wanted to fill this page with something so that i could do a double page.
In future, i think i'll just leave such pages blank.

On the flip side, i really enjoyed doodling this page. You can tell i had watched and been inspired by 'Shaun the Sheep'. I like pages like this, making the characters interact with each other and each having a little story and background.

Acrylics with felt tip pen on top... will use a permanent marker next time.
Inspired by a picture I took for i365 (Photo a Day taken with an iPhone)

I doodled this on the inside of an envelope whilst waiting for the acrylics to dry. Inspired by a pattern I saw in an Ikea Magazine.

Just more doodles and ideas.

Buttons. For those that don't know me, i'm slightly obsessed.

Blogged 009

Weird creatures. For the sake of it and because i'm feeling the itch to make soft toys.
