A floral botanical illustration around the words of the famous poem and hymn by Cecil Alexander "All Things Bright & Beautiful'. Drawn in pen & ink with another on the way...'All creatures great & small.

Gorgeous little lady this one....

'Oh how wonderful life would be, if I had my own little house in a tree!' This one was created for the Urban Explorer Challenge and I loved every minute of it! As a lover of the natural environment I had to draw on where my heart lies so a treehouse seemed a fitting response!

Timber was a recent A3 commission I was lucky enough to do. Drawn using 0.03 and 0.05 fineliners. I was sad to see this one go!

This is Kraken Cottage. A little logo I was asked to do. Great fun it was too!

This was so enjoyable to do. Hand drawn using black 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 fine liners on A4 medium cartridge paper. 22.5 hours of work and made my eyes hurt!

Border Terrier. Beautiful little lady called Berry.

My final entry for Stage 3 of the doodle addicts challenge! I have loved doing these challenges. They have not only got me drawing things I wouldn't have considered off my own back, but they have brought me out of my comfort zone too. Drawing steam is harder than I thought!!!

Zoomed in shot of "Pattern Interrupt". 2020. Size: 32" x 40" / Micron pens on archival museum board. This piece was all drawn freehand - no rulers or measuring tools were used to create this artwork.

Drawn using 0.03 and 0.05 fineliners, this one is for a book cover so cannot reveal the finished image yet! I do love trees, they are so fascinating to draw.

Little Teddy. Drawn with my trusty 0.03 and 0.05 fineliners on A4 smooth cartridge paper. That face!!!

This one is a big'un! A3! 13 hours so far and still a way to go. I do love the curly hairy ones!

Illustration of birth of the bear in Finnish mythogy. White ink on black Moleskine

The lovely Leo. Drawn with 0.93 and 0.05 fineliners on smooth A4 cartridge.

I've always loved wild Hares so creating this image was such a joy.

Just playing with lines and pens

Another pet portrait!.......I'm just loving doing these.

This is little Finley the Border Terrier. He is a recent commission. I haven't ever drawn a dog so really enjoyed doing this whilst trying to keep to my black and white line style.

An Illustration born out of my love for rabbits! Drawn with pen & ink the bunnies are at home in their woodland environment!

7 pencil pics

Not finished yet! The curliest dog I've ever done!

A botanical explosion to celebrate Mother Nature in all her floral glory! Drawn in pen and ink and really therapeutic to do!

The bold white initial letter is sitting on a blue pen and ink hand drawn illustration with a watercolour background.

My Illustrated Alphabet letters were born out of a project in 2016. Each was drawn with pen & ink and each letter is illustrated with either an object, flora, fauna or wildlife that begins with that letter.

My illustrated Bunny is detailed with wild flowers, flora and fauna and drawn using pen & ink.

I found this guy the other day, just an older piece on scratchboard.

Burning through gum as quickly as I do provides you with many blank wrappers. Another in-class doodle.

This week hasn't been great. My anxiety was pretty high for most of it, and it was honestly for no reason. My brain tends to be very chaotic, I suppose, and I have trouble controlling my thoughts sometimes. This was a random doodle I did last night at 10 p.m. I've decided I'm going to add color to it, which will either look good or make everyone's eyes hurt even more..at least I have a picture of this version.
