World book day 2022

For world book day this year I wanted to draw a bunch of kids dressed up as book characters ready to go to school to join in with the book day celebrations. I loved dressing up for world book day as a kid and my favourite outfit was an Angelina Ballerina outfit my mum made me out of some of my old ballet outfits. I had a long tail and ears. It was the best. 

Did you ever dress up for world book day? What was your favourite costume?

Brew-tiful

Tea based puns are a go to pun for me as a born and bred Yorkshire lass. And of course it has to be cup of Yorkshire tea. As its almost valentine's day, a few cute little love and romantic puns may be getting made by me. So maybe look forward to those. :) 

 

Two little witches

 This peice is inspired by a draw this in your style from the secret beauty drawings on Instagram.  They have a wonderful series of drawings following Wilma and Carl the cat. I drew them with their friend Jennifer and her dog. They are all flying in the night sky which i drew in a starry night by Van Gogh style. I painted the original base colour in watercolours and them scanned in to add details and other colours. I am enjoying this style of working as it find it pretty quick but still super effective. 

Fermain bay

While watching landscape artist of the year 2022 on sky arts, I wanted to give doing a landscape a go as it not something I do very often. I looked through my holiday photos from 2019 and picked out a picture my sister took at Fermain Bay in Guernsey. In the scene, we see lots of sea and sand. There is also a nice looking yacht and in the middle of the scene is me and my parents having a paddle in the sea. The water wasn't very warm but when on holiday you have to brave the cold waters at least once. I really enjoyed doing this piece and I think it turned out great. The sky and the sea definitely want very well. Landscapes are something I've never been too confident at but I think I'm getting better with each little go at one. I might try a greener for mountainy scene next time. 

Chinese New year- year of the tiger

Happy Chinese New year to all those celebrating this week!! Here is a little tiger illustration to the festive season this year as it is the year of the tiger. I was born in the year of the rabbit but was jealous of all my friends who were born in the year of the dragon as dragons are so much cooler than rabbits. I always love the story of the Chinese zodiac, its so fun. 

What animal was it the year you were born? 

 

Rocking robin

I went on one of them sites that chooses a colour palette for you and when I saw the colours, I immediately saw a Robin in a wreath. Its some what festive so its a little late but I love Christmas and am always in the spirit.
