Over due post. Christmas is nearly here!
I haven't done much drawing over the past few months. The last time I posted was in the summer on my other blog 'Imaginarium of bugs'.
Using the ProCreate app on my tablet I was able to record the image below as I worked.

Train journey
So I have had lots of my photos from trips to the highlands over the past couple of years printed. I have started using them as reference for sketching. I spent New Years up near Garve in Wester Ross and enjoyed a spectacular train journey from Garve to Kyle of Lochalsh one day. I probably took 100+ photos from the train, there were so many rainbows, lochs and deer to enjoy. This sketch is taken from a section of the journey just outside of Plockton.

Creepy Wood
I drew these trees about a year ago and at the time I knew I wanted to layer them up but just didn't get round to it. It is nice to revisit an old sketchbook and digitise some of the drawings and have a play in photoshop.

New watercolours
My lovely sister bought me some watercolours for Christmas so I thought I would try them out on one of my favourite themes at the moment; bugs (insects)!

Summer school course - Children's picture book illustration
I went to a summer school course the other week at Edinburgh College of Art. The course was run by a great, enthusiastic illustrator Kasia Matyjasek. I came up with a story about an Alien who lives on a grey planet and one day goes in search of colour.
At the end of the week we had a mini exhibition along with the other courses that ran that week... having a glass of fizz and strawberries.....mmmm.....
