How to use this Page

I'm still working on the Purple Artichokes drawing, so meanwhile here's a doodle I made a while back that I liked enough to clean up, add another colour to, and upload onto products. Seemed cheerful and bright, perfect to uplift my spirits especially as we're experiencing an unusual deep freeze at the moment here in the south of France! Cheers.

A little image that came to me while I was watching TV a few evenings ago (I was watching a particularly gory episode of a forensic series, so have absolutely no idea of why cute owls came to mind). I grabbed my little wacom and laptop and scribbled it straight into Corel Painter 12 and had fun with it the rest of the evening.

Once I was done I googled 'owl love' just to make sure that the inspiration hadn't come straight from somebody else's illustration that had stuck in a corner of my visual brain. It's something that happens far too often, so I always have to ensure that I'm not inadvertently 'copying' some else's work that I previously admired. Particularly so in this instance as owls seem to be multiplying in flight on the virtual airwaves; apparently they are a huge trend at the moment.

Once I was as sure as one can be that I wasn't plagiarising, I cleaned it up and uploaded it to my stores. It's a quick little digital sketch, I know, but I'm now quite fond of it. Cuteness seems ingrained in some part of my psyche whether I wish it to be or not.

Cheers!

I decided that it was time to turn my hand once again to a bit of fun digital illustration. This started off as a quick sketch:

Very light and vague, I know. But good enough to start off with. Scanned it into COREL Painter 12 and then handpainted it, first in pastels ... then when that got too frustrating, changed over to oils and finished it off. I took far too long over what was meant to be a simple digital exercise, so I ended up finishing the four free-falling eggs and the grass in photoshop.
