Super happy to find this little box of cards in Waterstones! I love painting snowy scenes so this was a real treat. The pack has also got a beautiful card by @angelamaryholland in it! If you spot these in the wild, please tag me ❄️❄️❄️
Thank you @brightagencylicensing 🎄

Little late but here is a quick sketch for #theanimalfriendsartchallenge last prompt: Bear and Sparrow dress up. I dropped ink and managed to blur the first half of the video. Oh well, embracing mistakes and rolling with it!

Really enjoyed drawing along with this challenge and seeing everyone’s lovely work. Thank you to all and the hosts: @olga.strobel @tatjanabeimler_illustration @ramonakaulitzki @caroline.mcpherson.art @sandrattema @zeichenblanck @iloveillustrators

It’s General Custer! My constant working day companion is @theresthistory podcast. Thought I’d do a quick Custer sketch in between roughs for the current book I’m working on

Here’s my go at #DrawAsYouMay, hosted by the lovely @sarahlong_illustrates and @marcolooks. The prompt is, your fav place to sit. Everyone pop over to their pages to see the rest of the monthly prompts and have a go. It’s fun to know your theme and run with it!

Spent a lovely afternoon at the British Museum. I recently listened to the Rest is History Podcast series about Lord Byron and thought I’d check out these mysterious Elgin marbles. So impressive in the flesh. Recommend the trip…
