Working on a new #painting ! I finally had the guts to add paint to this sketch that I’ve had lying around for over a year. #gouache #art #sketch #illustration #illustrator #brushes #workinprogress #wip (på/i Bristol)

An illustration I did for the Dragon themed issue of the quarterly children’s fantasy e-zine Spellbound! I have actually had this done for a little while, but I wanted to wait with posting it until the issue was out. Which it is now! If you’ve got kids, I’d recommend to check it out, here!

My part of a trade with Amy! My elf bard Deidra is meeting her klepto kender character Ember for the first time. This is a follow up to what happens right after the picture Amy drew of Ember going through the contents of Deidra’s satchel, hehe. Magic mouth harp in action!

A double page spread and patterned endpapers from my picture book project! I handed these in today, for the module, together with all my developmental work (3 sketchbooks) and a dummy with the whole story sketched out. I wish I worked faster so I could have had more finished spreads to show than these.

I will keep working on this book though. I quite enjoy it and I think I am starting to reach a point where it could become pretty good! I am not entirely sure on this style for it any more though… I’ll do further tests.

Chelsea&#8217;s character Ina trying to learn to play tin whistle! Not going that well at the moment.

Design sheet for the main character of the story! It is important to wear a helmet when you ride to school (whether you ride a bike or broom). I think I have settled on these for the final colours. :)

Concept designs for the other kids in the main character&#8217;s class. As this picture book takes place at the school. I wanted a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds and personalities while still looking like the same style and without being too stereotypical. I want the reader to feel like this could be a school almost anywhere in the world.

This is how I thumbnail. D: I don’t think I will go with any of these for the final spreads, they were just tests and discarded ideas.
