A few weeks ago I got an iPad and I am having so much fun with it but not so much as yesterday!  I finally got my Wacom Bamboo Stylus and I tried it out on the Paper App by Fifty Three and it was fantastic.

First of all Wacom did a splendid job with the design of the stylus.  It feels real, like a real pen and its really easy to draw with the small tip.

Secondly, the Paper App is really wicked!  If you love going out sketching, this is the app for you.  You can add as many sketchbooks as you like and you can even customize it.  Its got a pen, pencil, brush and other goodies so its really great to sketch.

This is my latest one and theres more to come!

I haven’t told anyone that I am working on my first book.  I don’t know if it will get published or not, for me its a huge step and I’m very proud of it.

I have been planning and drawing the illustrations and I’m finally done the last pencil spread.  Now I have to ink and colour it and I cant wait!

Here’s a picture of my dummy book laid out on the living room floor.

Its been a while, I do apologize but I am so busy with new things that I will tell you about in a couple of days, I promise! First I got new things up in my Etsy Store.

This lovely notebook looks really old with the coffee stained cover. My wonderful fairy made her way onto the cover. stained cover. My wonderful fairy made her way onto the cover.

I also have some spooky bookmarks up for sale.  I love purple and I love ghost stories and this is ideally to give to a person that also likes those things.

As promised I give you my little brown fairy!  I will do her digitally as well and prints will be available later.

Remember when I told you guys that my Derwent eraser was broken when I got it?  Well Derwent send me a new eraser with some other goodies as well!.

People always ask me what brand I prefer and I always say Derwent cause they products are good but after this , they are even better in my eyes.  The service was excellent.

Thank you Derwent!

Doesnt she look good in inks?  Sometimes I just love sitting and cross-hatching illustrations.

I’ve started with the colour and so far its looking great!

I’m done with work for Cambridge and Oxford University so now I got a bit of spare time to work on my own work.

Its been a while now that I really want to do something fantasy and yesterday I started with a little fairy, a bit patched up but she got the most wonderful personality and she is very adventurous.

Here is the draft I’m finished with, shall start today with the inking.

On Friday afternoon I got the Derwent Studio set and I couldn’t wait to try them out.  I was busy in my free time to do an illustration of the three blind mice.  I did scan it to be used as a digital piece but when I got the pencils I thought why not!

It came out really beautiful, better than the scan shows.  The original will be available in my store for only £20
