53. IF: faded


To be frank, the novelty of Clive jumping out of the wardrobe had well and truly faded.

Okay, I admit, a rather tenuous link today, but I've been working on monsters all week so I had to get one in somewhere!

Thanks for all the lovely comments last week x

55. Hey monster!


You should be ashamed of yourself, frightening a little girl like that! What kind of example do you think you're setting to your son? Well?

59. IF: Heights


I was glad to see the topic for this week's illustration Friday as I have had this sketch in my drawing book for ages. It was a good excuse to work it up into a full colour sample spread for my portfolio. This, ideally, is how I would like to travel :)

62. IF: vocal


I'm surrounded on all sides by farms, so one sound I have had to get used to is the crowing of the very vocal cockerels every dawn. Of course, being french, they crow with a french accent ; )

63. IF: Return


This was meant to be a crow celebrating the return of Spring, but as I am posting, the clouds are gathering here in Normandy and it is freezing - more like a return to winter! Anyway, this crow doesn't care as he's in the mood to party!

68. IF: shades


I love pen and ink drawings, but have always been a bit nervous of using ink myself and usually stick to pencil. This week I thought I should try an ink drawing, but as I couldn't find my dip pen I experimented using matchsticks, cocktail sticks and brushes. I like the energy that this has given to the lines. Maybe I will give ink another try after all!

69. IF: yield


I've been playing around with photoshop this week - inventing new brushes and tool presets. I got rid of all the default swatches and filled up the palette with my own colours. This sunny yellow is one of my favourites.

70. IF: intention


I was a bit stuck for an idea for this week's word 'intention' and then while I was having a spring-clean of my studio I came across this picture I painted a few weeks ago on a spare wall tile (don't ask...just another arty experiment!). So here is my post for Illustration Friday: by the friendly look on his face, I think this tiger has good intentions.

71. IF: capable


Every now and then I like to paint directly with the wacom pen. Inspired by a rediscovery of acrylics, I've recently created some new tool presets in Photoshop that have expanded my digital mark-making <-- illustration geek alert.

I wanted to paint a boy being capable this week, as I always seem to end up with little girl characters : )

72. IF: fluid


I've chosen a slithery, flowing snake for this week's Illustration Friday word 'fluid'. The text is from a poem by D. H. Lawrence that I heard on the excellent 'Poetry Please' on Radio 4 last Sunday. I really enjoyed painting this - especially adding the texture on the snake's body with a cabbage leaf!

75. IF: forward


I'm still really enjoying using acrylics, so I thought I'd paint another illustration this week, inspired by the thick snow that is falling in Normandy today.
