Witch, cats and monsters


Here are more witch pictures :o)
As you can see I'm having some trouble with the paper at the moment, which isn't stretching probably and gets all wrinkled it has meant doing a lot of work on the computer to make it look normal when I put the pages together.


More cats as promised


And a big pumpkin. The first picture I did of this the pupkin was about four times as big it looked crazy, but in the end I went for a smaller pumpkin as I liked his face better small.


Been drawing monsters too and got told off by my dad for making them (and the bat) look cute :o(
But I like monsters like this.


This little chap is my fav . His name is Remy

Witchy - new drawings


New idea :os
These are a few of the new pics. I have been working pretty fast on these - really hope it doesn't show, I'm always messy anyway...
I loved drawing the toads, got lucky with that as well, as me and Lily found a little toad the other day on a walk. He looked a bit like the one on the left.


Enjoying cake - this is how I look when eating cake.


Designing dresses I want to wear.


Going to be more drawings of cats - sneeze Jen!


And getting to grips with drawing bats :os
I'm having fun with it, it's going to be quite simple this one.

Art Dump 2


These pictures were from one of  the first books I put together. I'm afraid looking back at them now I have come to realise that I'm probably crazy.


Again the story let me down - it just wasn't as much fun as the pictures.


I love drawing animals and I learnt to draw cats in English A'level class. I used to draw them over my friend Jen's work along with the word SNEEZE- she's allergic. I don't think she thought much of this, neither did our teacher. Happy Days.


This one above was inspired by my mum's cat Mop. He designs hats...  :os


Actually am quite an odd person :os


But again characters I love. I remember sending this off somewhere and knowing I wasn't happy with it. Its hard to know what to do when the story doesn't come together - should you move on or keep trying?

Art Dump 1


Perhaps not the most attractive way of putting it, but I'm really just dumping some art that I have had for a while. I wrote a little story for these characters sometime ago...


...it was awful.
It was far too rushed and I really just need to start again. I'm putting them out here because I really quite like these characters and wanted to share them.


I feel really guilty I didn't spend much time on them :o(


I will try and make it up to them :o)

More Lily-inspired pics


These are some more pictures from the book that I'm making. Most of these come from photos, which in A'level fine art I was told was not the 'done thing', but sod it.


Lily has been loads of fun to draw. I have done sketches of her - mostly when she's asleep - but for a lot of these I have used photos as a guide. I don't draw the photos exactly as I'm rubbish at that and it takes the fun out of it. I also think what's the point of making a painting which looks like a photo - well unless your Chuck Close - and I think you capture something being a bit less precise - not sure what though :os


Lily is very good at having her photo taken :o)


This last one is the last page of the book. It's a very messy sort of book I'm not a tidy person and I think it sort of reflects Lily as well who utterly enjoys mess.
