Friday fox

Foxes are probably one of the most recognisable animals, with their black and white markings on a striking orange coat. They are known for being cunning and sly, hence this guy’s cheeky expression. I left most of the rough pencil sketch on show, adding colour on the level below and details on the very top. Lately I…

Peace and quiet

As my life is pretty hectic at the moment, I enjoyed drawing this moment of silence and serenity. This design is based on my lurcher, such a lazy girl but I love her ^_^ Here she has stopped to take in the fresh air and sunshine, before sprinting off again to explore. As you can…

Puppy love

Look who’s back! I felt bad for the lack of art, so I made a brand new background for the blog, neat huh? You may notice this matches my website too, now everything ties in nicely. Anyway, enough about that, you’re here to see more new designs so I shall provide: This pup is loosely…

Kitty!

I like drawing cats, usually tall and skinny or short and plump. This particular kitty has a hint of ‘Snowbell’ (Stuart Little) and ‘Salem’ (Sabrina). It seems I am heavily influenced by childhood memories of TV and film. Or it might be because I still watch the same things now! As you can see, the eyes changed…

Lost and found

As with most of my work, I start with nothing and gradually build up an idea. This is no exception, I began with a white square on the screen and a brown, charcoal-effect brush tip selected After scrubbing out a background, I let my pen flow until this gangly hound took shape. He is out…

Stone scales

Its good to be back, I missed being on here yesterday! Oriental dragons are so varied and intricate, this is my first in that style. Starting with a pencil drawing, I then added shading and highlights (using a white pen). As with most of my work, I continued working in Photoplus until I was happy with…

Dreaming of dragons

Back in dragon mode tonight, I may well add more to this little guy  but I need to rest my brain for now! I loved my little dragon doodle as it was, however I love to experiment so went ahead and tried out a different style anyway I gave him a ghostly look, with gentle…

Everybody wants to be a cat

I like to scan my pencil scribblings, then I can work over the top without losing the ‘charm’ of my original sketch. I then go over the outlines to make them clearer, before playing around with colours. What started life as a very small doodle, has evolved into the cat you see below! I think I…

Song bird

One of my favourite things to do, is pick a song at random and draw the first thing that comes to mind while it is playing. The main part of the piece is drawn out during the first play through, then while the song loops I add definition where needed. This is an older piece,…

Wild child

Here is a sneak peek at an idea for a possible series I am working on: I grew up with books, films and tv shows about humans transforming into animals, from ‘Woof!’ (a child who could turn himself into a dog, but it was a secret, shh!) to Harry Potter and its many animagi. Naturally…
