Some more sketchbook

Taken with Instagram because it is just so awesome!


My homemade sketchbook

I love looking at illustrator's or designers sketchbooks. I love seeing their doodles, thumbnails and development of ideas taking shape through the pages. I thought I might show you some pics of my sketchbook.

I handmade the actual book out of scrap recycled paper and card and wrapped it in kraft paper for a natural look. It is very rough but that is exactly how I like it. I LOVE the book, I love the different papers, I love that there are some old prints on some of them and I love the different effects I am getting from the varied textures on the papers. Hmmm, I wonder if there will be a market for journals of this kind...

Check it out...

The rooster and the chameleon

I warned you that I get bored very quickly! That was the whole reason I started this blog—to prove I could use one style only for a whole month. This one is completely different, pencil, acrylic and digital.




The girls

I have never really illustrated like this before and am still not quite sure but I definitely want to explore this some more. These are the girls I drew this week, which are now available as postcards in my shop.
