For this session I chose to draw digitally, just to shake things up. I like getting away from the screen every once in a while, but sometimes it's hard to adjust to real media given I spend almost all my time drawing onto my Cintiq. Ralph was a fantastic model! I...
Creating the Title Page for Kinsey’s Sword
Here's a look at some of the process I went through drawing the title page for Kinsey's Sword. As it was the first spread I painted for the book I was still trying to capture the style of the illustrations. Initially I'd thought I'd add a lot more detail and move...
Light
This character jumped out while I doodled today. I'm not sure who she is or what she's holding, but she seems a bit worried about it.
Practice, practice, practice
Last year I came across this tweet, which challenged me to start thinking differently about how I draw through the week. For artists big and small, in school, at work or chilling, remember about your veggies! pic.twitter.com/hRPdVuX1fo — trish (@enankaheta) March 2,...
Animated Logo for Cornhill
This was a really fun little project I worked on this autumn. I was asked by Trinity Digital to create an animated logo intro for Cornhill Scotland. The logo is a dandelion head with seeds blowing away, so they wanted a figure blowing on the dandelion to lead into the...

Last year I had the pleasure of designing the wedding invite for friends of mine. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, so I thought I'd share a little bit of the process of making it. To start with I was given the theme of succulents and hexagons. It was fun...
Inktober 2018 #19 & #20 – Trennte & Jeffrey
A double update! Both characters are from The Princess of Nowhere, the first novel I ever finished writing. Trennte is the manservant of Prince Jespar, and is the prince's friend and mentor. Jeffrey is a tie. For some reason I cut Jeffrey out of the later drafts,...
Action Gestures
I meant to post these last weekend, but forgot. I drew them last month, using the Bodies in Motion site, beginning with 30 second poses and gradually giving myself more time. The site is excellent for capturing poses that a model would never be able to hold.
Inktober 2018 #10 – Bree
Bree (or Breehy-hinny-brinny-hoohy-hah, to give his full name) is the titular horse of The Horse and His Boy. Shasta is the boy. I had wondered about drawing Aravis and Hwin, the other main characters, but there are so many other characters I want to draw I initially...
