I'm always surprised when I don't miss a day colouring something during the challenge. I am terrible at actually getting around to most things I say I'm going to do — in fact, saying I'm going to do something is a pretty good way to ensure that it doesn't get done. Take this blog post… Continue reading The Daily Marker Challenge #12 day 6–10
I love colouring, but sometimes other things take priority. Sometimes it's other arty things, which is good, but sometimes it's just day-to-day stuff combined with my ability to procrastinate at championship level.

I… Continue reading The spirit of Christmas

I kept the colouring simple and added highlights on the berries with a gold gel pen. Glossy accents gives a bit of dimension and a lot of shine. I… Continue reading Holly berries
Just as I always try to find blackberries and cute critters for my mum, so I have to do bunnies for my other half's sister. I'd used all the nice ones in my stash so I had to go hunt for a new source of wabbits and found Lee Holland, illustrator of lots of cute… Continue reading Bouncing bunny
