Exciting times in the print room.

So, I've been keeping occupied during the last few weeks in our marvellous print room, and here are the results.

The first is from my lithography induction; fallen a bit in love with lithography, despite the hours of grinding massive slabs of limestone together, so stay tuned for more.

The other three are etchings. The first two are prints from the same plate, one of which I watercoloured afterwards. The other went a bit strange - someone had put the soft ground into a hard ground box, so the texture of the paper printed onto the ground and etched in a weirdly tonal way. But still, it was interesting, and I don't entirely hate it.. !

Enjoy ladies and gents.

Much love.

The Sketchbook Project.

Happy New Year guys! I can't say I've done much over Christmas, but I have been getting on and finishing my sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project. To find out about what it is, read here:

The theme I picked was "Fill me with stories", and though my little narrative isn't too complex or innovative, it kept me going drawing wise over the long Christmas holidays.
Hope you like it, my dears.
Much love.

FINALS for my children's book.

So, I'm getting pretty close to being finished with this project - I loved it, but I'm glad it's over.
So here are my finals, as finished as I think they'll ever be.
Much love.

Girls and dogs.

Character studies of Ivy and Bernard, the girl and the dog.

She is pretty much me when I was five, and the dog is a mixture of my poor old sprollie, my boyfriend and Stephen Fry. So I love him excessively.

Much love.

Woodlands.

Some studies for the forest in my current project about a little girl who gets lost. Lots of fun in drawing these, hope you enjoy.

Much love.
