Kingfisher

Over summer, a family of kingfishers appeared at the park near to my parents house. One evening we took a walk to see if we could catch a glimpse at them. And we did see them! They are gorgeous birds with the prettiest blue wings. When we got back from the park, I started this drawing straight away. I have been playing around with glowy brushes on my drawing program and I think they really made this drawing pop. I also had loads of fun making the background. I hadn't drawn a bird since I finished my uni work where I drew so many birds, I felt like I needed a break from digital birds but I enjoyed this drawing a lot so I will probably do even more in the future. 

 

3 little flowers

Sometimes I love to just make some happy and bright and bold designs. This one is just one of those. I was messing around my sketchbook app and made this. I love to make colourful designs to bring happiness to myself and others. 

Little tree

The adventures you can have in the open countryside in the open fields. 

This piece was to explore different textures and mark making. 

flowers

This is another piece i did for uni in my first year. This is probably the project I liked the least but it turned out ok. The project was called drawing transformed and you had to explore mark making and different techniques and create a digital piece in the end. I focused on flowers to give my project some direction. The top flowers was doing by making little dashes, the middle one was with stick and ink and the bottom one was stitched. Then there is a selection of mark making in the background to add different textures. The coloured ones were coloured with watercolours. This project involved a lot of scanning in and a couple of stressed out gives up but it turned out OK and I came out of it with a lot of new skills.

the girl and the bear

This piece is a fun little cute piece with a little girl and a brown bear with lots of pink flowers.

Marsh Tit

The Marsh Tit is one of the many birds on the red list for threatened bird species in the uk. This digital drawing  is of a Marsh tit sat on a branch. 

Mr Badger lost in the country

This piece is a drawing I worked on for my uni project on animals in the British Isles which follows this Badger as the anthropomorphic narrator on his adventures around the Isles.  

miss Robin in mistletoe

An elegant design of a Robin stood in a ring of mistletoe waiting for her love to fly by for a quick Christmas kiss. Putting animals in a ring of leaves is one of my favourite styles to do and I think this works really well with the mistletoe.
