Pet Portraits

September 23, 2019 Kate3 Comments

I used to do them all the time, but I stopped advertising and they just dropped off... But I have been thinking of starting up again and drawing some wildlife. I have found myself wanting to pick up the paintbrush and the pencil and start working again. That is if I can squeeze it around… Continue reading Pet Portraits

Still working on the illustrations

June 28, 2016June 28, 2016 Kate5 Comments

  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.

I have started to illustrate one of the three childrens books that I have written. Oddly, each was for a competition and all got to 'almost' stage and then fell to the wayside. So I thought - why not publish them...? The first is with the editor at the moment and she is hacking it… Continue reading Illustrating

I'm pleased. Thank you to Ashton and Sharnie for agreeing to be my models - two brilliant cousins. And it is finished but as it is going for a competition I will share the completed piece once it is up, or not... Everything is crossed that it will get picked though. If you were wondering… Continue reading The portrait…

New Drawing!

Yep, The last one is finished and because it is going for a competition I'm afraid that it is hidden until they accept or decline it. So... on to the next. This one I searched everywhere of the canvas. It has a 7.4 cm depth! That means that the picture really will wrap around the… Continue reading New Drawing!

A small drawing

May 4, 2016 Kate6 Comments

My cousin asked me to do a logo for her. I was surprised as I'm a pencil artist and draw in a realistic way, but I agreed. She asked for a 1920's steampunk woman sitting on a sign... So I gave it a go. I think it worked pretty well. She loves it and that… Continue reading A small drawing

Yep... Last night I put the final pencil mark onto the drawing and reached for the new can of fixative. I didn't read the warning label. I should have... The drawing is fine but I managed to gas myself and get a headache. So today I have put another layer of this new spray that… Continue reading It’s finished!
