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…
Doodles & Sketches
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…
Flower girl
I’ve been going back to some older drawings that I have scanned in over the years, to give them a makeover. These kind of designs can be tweaked and added to many times as my style develops. As soon as I drew this girl, a colour scheme sprang to mind – pastel lilacs, blues and pinks….
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…
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…
