Speed Dating

Hi everyone, thought you might like to see the first pic in my mini book on speed dating!

Hi all, just thought you might like to see James Mayhew's Blog - there's a really interesting post about his dreadful experience with Chicken House publishers. The book in question was always a favourite of mine in the children's bookshop I worked in.

How's it going?

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas. How are the essays/reflections/final bits of work going? I haven't got anywhere near as much drawing done as I hoped I would. I've done the essay though I think - but my computer's buggered up so haven't been able to print it out or anything yet.

Also my phone went thru the washing machine and I have had to put my sim into my son's phone. I still have the same number, but don't have any of my contacts' numbers on there anymore so if you could text me sometime I'll be able to save your numbers. Thanks! Liza x x

Help!

I drew this in the supermarket today and I remembered why I avoid backgrounds like the plague. I wondered if any of you have any tips on drawing complicated, busy scenes, or streets (another allergy of mine). It just becomes a mess of confusing tones and lines in wrong places! As you can see I abandoned the drawing before even attempting the detail of the bags inside the trolley!

Couple!

Hi everyone! Inspired (and to be honest, scared) by all your amazing work in the crit I went out today determined to do something different. So I went to Brighton Museum and ended up drawing...an old couple in the cafe. Sigh. Still, it is a grander cafe than BHS I suppose!

By the way, this blog is set so that anyone can view it...I think I can set it so that only we can read it if you'd prefer? I thought maybe your friends and family might like to see what you're doing, though.
