I doodled this king a few months ago and just now found him hiding in my folder of sketches. Still strange to think there is now a king, not a queen!
Character Design
Sketch Club: Wizard of Oz
Wild Child's sketch prompt this week was 'The Wizard of Oz'. My choice of character was Toto, played by a Cairn Terrier in the 1939 movie.
Sketch Club: Fairytale
This week's prompt was 'fairytale'. I was inspired by the birth of my nephew and drew a scene from Thumbelina.
Sketch Club: Road Trip
Wild Child has recently started a weekly Sketch Club with a prompt. This week's was 'Road Trip'. I had a lot of fun doing research and creating this little image of a family on the Oregon Trail.

Lots of Liffeys
Liffey was the Irish Setter my family owned while I was growing up. She was a wonderful companion, if a little odd at times. I must have doodled these caricatures of her at some point last year, but I'd forgotten about them until now.
Morna and Alistair
Morna and Alistair are from a story I've been working at over the last few months. As they both get older in it I've been trying to find characters that work at different ages. These quick doodles I did after work are the first ones I feel capture their characters.
Character Sketching – Pirate
John Mackey was completely in character at last week's CTN Character Sketching session! It was great fun, and I came away with the desire to rewatch Pirates of the Caribbean ...
Character Sketching – Fantasy Creature
It's taken me far too long to post these sketches from this session where Daniella Traub modelled as a 'fantasy creature'! Through the evening I explored different versions of the character - more elfin, a wild girl of the woods, a villain.
