A Little Freebie

I've created a little desktop wallpaper for the people who read my blog (I know there's only a few of you!) but I hope you like it. Just click on the image, save as and then go about setting it as you background the way you usually do.

it's only sized at 1440px x 900px at the moment, but if you'd like it in a different size, just leave me a comment xoxo

Mister Dress-Up

A couple of weeks back I was asked by Mister Dress-Up - a Montreal based T-shirt company - if they could use one of my illustrations as a t-shirt design. So, for the next week, you will be able to buy my stag illustration on a lovely white cotton tee!

Nature Girl: Two Ways

I've been playing around with adding some subtle colour on to my new illustration. I can't decide which I like best!

Grace: Nature Girl

Here is the first of three illustrations I'm doing for Grace magazine. I'm pretty pleased with it, as I haven't drawn people in such a long time!
During my first MA tutorial, the tutor told me-in a very unsubtle way-that I was bad at drawing figures and faces. I know you should never take criticism to heart, but as I was already going through a lot at the time, I did, and since then I've found life drawing to be incredibly stressful. Because of this, I stopped drawing one of my favourite subjects (I know, dumb!), so I'm feeling pretty happy with this.

Don't let criticism bring you down people!
