From the drawing board this week are some character illustrations, that were inspired by some non-fiction text provided by the author designer Zoe Tucker in the #MATS course that I am currently taking. I feel like I'm channeling my inner Bruce with the middle one! And I couldn't get the Mark Knopfler and EmmyLou Harris song, ' All The Road Running' out of my head when I was developing the first illustration of the Ostrich striding out...
Fun Fact; Ostriches can easily run at 40MPH, they have a fearsome kick and weigh in at around 160kg! Until next time, Thanks for reading!

You're never too old for a Scooter! This weeks post is a character illustration that I created of a cute Elephant on a Scooter, I could imagine this being developed further with Parisian houses in the background...
My musical accompaniment this week is from the Icelandic rock Band - Kaleo with Way Down We Go Thank you for reading! At the beginning of July, I joined the #MATS (Make Art That Sells) Summer Boot Camp for creating children's book characters. This is my first MATS class but so far it's been great fun... So let me introduce you to Minnie, seen above, who was created in response to some text provided by one of the course tutors Zoe Tucker. Without giving too much away, the story tells of how Minnie wakes from a dozy dream...I hope you like her. As a backdrop to creating Minnie, I have been listening to You Tube Music's Discover Mix and one song that I liked was Blinding Lights by the group X Ambassadors, who are new to me - I loved the way the acoustic guitar threads it's way through the track. Check it out here if you're interested.
Until next time, Thanks for reading! |
