I've sat here for a little while trying different beginnings for this blog, when i got to 'pumpy, pumpy pumpkin,' i knew it was time to come down off the ceiling and cut out the caffeine. Just finished working on adding a bit of colour on the illustration for my story i posted a little while ago. It's been an interesting journey; one of layers and layers of learning, photoshopping, chewing my nails and eating far too many cookies. But i am happy with the finished results, although i'm sure i'll try another version soon and like that one better, but for now i'll be leaving it there and get another started.
Things are still slow with the publisher, it seems that Frankfurt(er) is getting in the way of them pushing the book on any further! Damn you Frankfurt(er), i shake my cookie crumbed fist in your direction and stick my tongue out to roll off a raspberry just for you!
Right i must go and do something productive....i wonder if there's another packet of cookies that really need eating?

This is really nice Louise, the colour of the pumpkins brings it to life already. great work ..... I predict loads of pumpkin cakes.
I liked the plain pencil piece, but I love the addition of the orange tones to this version :o)
Lovely piece Louise.
Funnily enough, I soon have to draw some Pumpkins too!
Thanks Oscar. I predict pumpkin cakes too. I'll share them with you!
Thanks June. Pumpkins are fun to draw, have fun with yours!
