Inspiring words

"Let the fire warm you,
Even though it may burn you at times"

Becca by the Sea

This is a birthday present for my dear friend Becca. I love making presents for people, because it gives me a subject matter and I already have an insight into their personality and what they might like to receive. This was a simple collaged background, recycling old envelopes, and then I put an illustration of her over the top. With a bit of textile detailing and some kind words, it is personalised just for her.

Wonderful people are hard to find. Make sure they know how special they are.

Even more sketchbook

Nothing more therapeutic than a wee bit of drawing in bed on a Sunday night. Loosen up first with a bit of free sketching, then attempt a more realistic portrait. Development to come on this one...

Sketchbook continued

Playing around with colours, textures and subject matters. This could be fun!
