Picture book portfolio update time! Has anyone ever tried doing a base layer in a contrasting colour in Procreate? Hoping to create some texture and depth to try and mimic my mixed media work. Time to play!

Thank you! These were so fun! Frogs are so cute! I think setting the timer definitely helps make them flowy/sketchy.

Thank you! It’s funny how they can take on their own personalities.

A lovely morning catching up on the London Drawing Club’s Emma Carlisle workshop on frogs. These 3 are my faves (and all done in a total of 20 minutes). Ribbit!

Thank you!

Covers are fun, but jackets are magical. I love the way art can wrap around a book, like a warm hug.

Working on a new book = swatching with a lazy dog.

I’m taking a deep dive into the new ProCreate brushes and I’d love to hear your favourites.

On Sunday, we had our first snow storm of the season and we were NOT ready - we don’t even have our patio cushions away. As of today, the ground is still white, so…

Thank you!

First snowfall of the season expected here today and it’s got me thinking of this mock cover from last winter. I smell snow! ❄️

Quick question: is a 48-page separate-ended dummy acceptable? Would that mean 44 pages of art?

Latest mock cover for a mystery adventure novel is “Better than the Louvre heist.” 😂 💎 ♦️

I never thought I’d be taking advice (or a mantra) from a reality show! 😂😂

When your professional life, your personal life, and your favourite reality tv show collide. Can anyone else relate?
