Illustration Friday - Cake...mmm...cake


Finally a spare moment for me to do some drawing and experimenting. I called in sick to work today, only had a 3 hour shift and I still had to go to the doc to get a certificate...grrr. Not too happy with that. It's only a casual job!
But anyhoo, I managed to spend some time in bed doing some doodling and wound up with this. It's my first attempt at painting in photoshop, so I'm still getting the hang of it, but for a first attempt I'm quite happy. Hopefully I'll manage to do some more experimentation down the line with this look. My awesome friend Adele showed me how she does it...go to her web site - her stuff ROCKS!

Well I hope you like this...soon I hope to have my website finished and am going to do up a customised blog for that, so it shouldn't be too long before Daisy is truly web based.

Illustration Friday - FAT




I did this one really quickly, as I was instantly inspired by Augustus Gloop, my favourite fatty from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Don't know why I didn't give him feet...he probably needs them to catch the chocolate...but it's not like he needs the chocolate, now is it...

I put in two different ones cause I cant make up my mind which I like better. Think I like the white one so far.

The Veggie Plot



I am re-illustrating an ebook I did for my grandma (she's written loads of children's education books) and have just started mucking around with concepts. This is just an idea, and hopefully I'll get into the full swing of it and go nuts. (Yes, I did steal the sea from my illustration Friday...)
