Illustration Friday on a Tuesday

I might actually do another one- this was just a quickieish of about an hour and a half (yes, it does take me a while to warm up, but once I get started...). Anywho, off to Millar's for art supplies in a sec, hoping to get some better card stock for my cards!

I gave up on freehand

And started gridding my pet portraits out, which is much more effective! But it's made me realise even more how much better I am/ how much more I love doing children's illustration. I guess this is just in a vague attempt to make end's meet.

And a bit more

Sending off to the Little Tiger Press

I made a little tiger :-)

I made a Loch Ness monster

Pet portrait

I've been working on some pet portraits lately, to try and build my portfolio a little bit more.

Here's one of Moomin, it took about 1 hour 20 to get this far.

I went to see my kitty yesterday :-)

Hi name is Moomin, he's a seal point ragdoll kitten and he's gorgeous! This is him at about 10 weeks old. I'm really excited because in about 5 weeks we get to take him home! The adult cats the breeder had all seem amazing too! Laid back and reserved, but inquisitive too.

I've been a busy person

I've sent my illustrated dummy off to publishers in the vague hope that they'll accept it, in the mean time I'm strapped for money and dreading council tax. Here are some mini Scottish cards that I made, HOPING to sell them in a local sweet shop.
