I have been playing with my Wacom pad... To learn i decided to go with doing the daily spitpaint every day, or when I could. It's a Facebook group that is the same as a writing group. They prompt you and you create a drawing. It doesn't have to be digital drawing but that is… Continue reading Digital art

Another cover…
This will be the last for a while. Although there are about 14 illustrations to go with it, so I'm going to be working on it for the next week or so, if not longer... This book is called 'Fey' and is about a young boy called Dai. It's set in Wales, not too far… Continue reading Another cover…

The image… Continue reading Finished and ready…

Still working on the illustrations
Still working on the kids book... Now it is a VW camper. I have wondered if my illustrations are too detailed. But they are how I draw - I just hope they go with the writing... Sorry the photo is bad but we have storms here and it is effecting the light badly.
