Collaborative zine on idioms

 I joined in with a collaborative zine that I saw an open call for on Instagram. The zine is about idioms and I picked spill the beans. I drew lots of cute little baked beans falling out of the can and wrote "go on" to make it sound kind of cheeky that secrets are being told. 

The zine is in black and white but I originally did it in colour as I prefer to work in colour and its nice to have the 2 version. 

The zine features lots of wonderful illustrations and illustrators so go check out the zine in the link below.

Magical flying unicorn

This peice is my take on Tim Budgen's dtiys for the publication of his book 20 unicorns at bedtime. I used watercolours to sketch it out and add base colour and then scanned it in to my tablet to draw and add details on top.  This drawing is one of my favourites I've drawn this year so far.

The princess and the pea

The princess and the pea has always been one of my favourite fairy tales and I wanted to practice creating book covers so I made this illustration. I used purple for the main colour as purple is a regal colour. The tall pile of mattresses is very colourful to help show how tall the pile is. She is looking a little worried and a little tired as she is very high up and unable to sleep. 
What is your favourite fairy tale?
