Sunflowers

I grow sunflowers every year, excellent for life drawing. Coloured pencil overlaps well for the subject.

Effie the Elephant. Get well soon card.

The party animal charaters were originaly developed from my children's book 'Wobble'.

Simple but highly enjoyable :)

Wobble: Final children's book spreads

A selection of double page spreads from my latest children's book 'Wobble'. I chose to work these final images in collage and over layered the black ink line onto acetate.

Wobble: Rough spreads

More spreads in pencil crayon, also brought in small elements of ink and bleach to see how that works.
Theses spreads are not how they will be seen in the book as I don't have an A3 scanner, my work is ridiculously cropped but you get the general idea.

What if I swallow my tooth?

I wanted a bit of realism like the intestines and the stomach of course. Kids like gross yukky stuff.

Wobble

Testing out colouring pencils on rough spreads for my latest childrens book about a little boy with a wobbly tooth.

The grain of the cartridge paper was quite heavy texture. The skin tone needs adjusting on next spreads and different paper stock. Main character in the middle is really worried about losing his wobbly tooth...and his friends laughing at him.

Was recommended to buy Caran D'ache watercolour pencils as they seemed suitable and can be used in many ways. These children are floating and need legs...
