    Chapter Headers for Crown of Bones

    I am unbelievably happy to have created chapter headers for AK Wilder’s new YA novel, Crown of Bones. It will be released in January 2021 (preorder is available through goodreads). I’m already a massive fan of Kim Falconer (AK Wilder is the Author’s pen name for YA work). Kim’s Quantum Enchantment series and Quantum Encryption…

    Vine Flowers

    In creeps colour, just a small amount. This was a test to see if I like having a drawing with no collage in it, again. I always want to put a bit in but I’m not sure if it’s needed all the time. I like loose messy watercolour working with stippling, to make it less…

    Kaylin Character Study

    My latest ink pen and collage drawing is of Kaylin from AK Wilder’s Amassia Series. Kaylin was a really interesting subject. Bit by bit Kaylin’s own personality and appearance showed himself.

  • Ash Character Study

    Ash Character Study

    One character study done, a few more to go… this is so much fun to do! I still really enjoy a drawing in the preliminary stages, the absence of detail is where the magic is sometimes. Here she is, Older Ash, at the beginning. and as early sketches… and all finished…
