You look how I feel, mate.

A few quick turnaround character sketches.

A really enjoyable few hours and something I'd like to return to very soon, to further push the characters and make them a little more my own.

Bears (yet again)...

I appear to have a thing for bears at the moment. I shall not draw another until at least the year 2012, I promise.

Yes, a whole 7 weeks.

Bears (again)

I've been drawing bears again.

Big surly bears and little imps.

A mucky pup.

Splodge splodge.

Dragons Revisited

One of my very first books, back in 1996 (yeah, yeah I know!), was about the littlest dragon. I haven't drawn a dragon since and I find that a shame. So I've set that right.

The Littlest Dragon was a black line book, and I fancied breaking open the inks and dip pen.

So I re-read the book, stuck on some Oasis and Blur and turned back the clock.

 Here is the little chap sitting in his window in 1996, he'll be a big dragon now...

Mice, taking a stroll.

Gone Fishing

Here is an illustration of a bear fishing. I think it's lacking something.

I'll come back to it after I've delivered some roughs in a couple of weeks to see if he's going to catch anything, or if he'll need to re-think his strategy.

...and after that re-visit.
