New art challenge huh? Ok then.... these are a few

New art challenge huh? Ok then.... these are a few kid characters from this year, I think they've come a long way since a few years back. I accidentally stumble upon old work and cringe so bad when I see how awful it looked. I feel like I've grown more this year as an artist than ever and am looking forward to continue to doing so in the future. I will be doing another of these with animals because drawing silly anthropomorphic animals is still my favourite kind of illustration :-D

So erm...I was pretty late reading the Harry Potte

So erm...I was pretty late reading the Harry Potter series (like 20 years late haha)...I kind of blitzed them at the beginning of lockdown. I read a lot over lockdown actually. I started a few sample illustrations from the books and then a few days later Rowling made some rather rude comments about trans women which I absolutely don't agree with. Having said that I still think Harry Potter is still an amazing work of fiction and an endless source of inspiration. I love the characters especially Hagrid and all the amazing creatures he looks after at Hogwarts....so here's a character study of Hagrid and Harry visiting #DiagonAlley....hopefully I will finish the piece in its entirety soon but I have various projects on the go atm hence why I haven't posted in some time. Wordy waffle over

Just a little sneaky #wolf for your #wednesday.... I haven't posted for a while because I've been super busy with a few exciting projects. I'd like to share another illustration I did last year from the book 'Supper Time' by Damian Harvey. The book is a great read along for parents and kids. It's especially written to suit 5-7 y/o's. You can purchase a copy from Hachette, Waterstones or Amazon.

Over the moon to finally get my mits on this fab book that I illustrated by the wonderful word wizard Damian Harvey. Its an absolutely hilarious book about a sneaky wolf and a clever little chicken....perfect for 5-7 year olds and ideal for #homeschooling sessions (trust me parents will enjoy this one too) Thanks to @wattsandwayland_books & @sylviepoggioartists for doing a super job

What's your favourite quarantine mode? Not going to lie I like drawing in my pyjamas but I've grown to like my step aerobics especially with some cheesy 80s tunes.

True story- so yeah my partner made me a step out of pallet wood because I didnt want to fork out loads of money for one and i was feeling super unfit. When I tried exercising outside some kids were laughing at me power walking round the graveyard wrapped in a massive scarf and shades (its the only place people don't go near my house) tbf I'm glad I made them laugh in these rubbish times...plus I did look absolutely ridiculous! .

Jumping on the bandwagon. I used to draw loads of #mermaids when I was a kid but never really drawn in my illustration career or adult life....it was pretty fun. I couldn't resist adding a little boop-boop bubble snoot seahorse .

More #lockdownillustrations
Kind of what I looked like as a kid... was never super sporty/outdoorsy at the best of times. Not much has changed really. The jungle window looks a bit like our living room. We have alot of plants and whenever we go shopping we always seem to acquire more.

I hope that you are all keeping safe in these turbulent times. I did a picture of #gretathunberg and some #endangeredspecies for #earthday and as part of #kidlit4climate movement
In the future I hope our leaders can rethink our relationship with our planet and all its wonderful animals and plants.
