Asking for Directions

Asking for directions
8x10 inches
Scratch art, Inktense and coloured pencils on Ampersand Scratchbord.
 
I have been flat out with commissions lately, but managed to squeeze in one little fun piece for the holidays. What fun I had with this piece and when time permits, I would love to churn out an entire series of whimsical pieces featuring scratch art and coloured pencils. I love the combination of strong contrasts and vibrant colours that can be achieved, and whilst it is slow going, I love every minute of the process. Wherever you are travelling in life, hope this puts a smile on your face :)

A couple of Cat Artworks

Roy

Coloured pencil on drafting film
 
Fatso
8x10 inches
Coloured pencils on HP watercolour paper
 
Fatso was done for my Sister-in-law late last year after she lost her beloved Fatso to illness and this was one of the last images she has of him. It is always so hard saying goodbye to our precious pets, but hopefully this will help to keep his memory alive for her.
 
Roy was a post Christmas commission. I always love drawing Maine Coons - their beautiful coat and colourings are an artists delight and Roy was no exception.

Three different blog entries today, as I have a bit of catching up to do with the latest issues Blogger are having, making it a bit more challenging to upload images. I finally worked out how to get around this issue, so please bare with me as I show some of my latest works.
 
These gorgeous dogs were all pre Christmas commissions, which I can now safely show.
