Hung Sunflowers
Back to ink dip pen and collage for what was a complex bunch of sunflowers to draw. The ‘hung bunch’ is still something that interests me, and even if it means the drawing is a bit more compacted, I like it. There were a lot of lines and curves and contrast within this to keep…

Flower Book
A while back I liked the idea of drawing flowers growing from the centre of a book, so I set up a still life reference for it. It was shoved into my ‘visual diary’ album and pretty much forgotten about. Recently I pulled it out and made it into a quick ink pen and collage…

Daffodils
So, I have pulled out Procreate again and had a go. I figured the subject should be relatively easy so that I can focus on technique. My aim is to draw digitally as close to what I do analog as possible. I’m not sure if that’s such a great idea but it feels right. I…

nasturtiums again

The joy of drawing your favourite Musician
Vikki Thorn’s voice has been a constant musical companion for about 25 years of my life. I don’t think there’s been an experience in my adult years that hasn’t had a Waifs tune soundtracking it! I love that births, deaths, silent times and mad adventures all have this thread of Vikki’s songs/voice knitted into them.…

They are from Crown of Bones, the first book in the Amassia series, due to be released early 2021. We worked together to make these images,…
