In my sketchbook: 23/07/14

An "In my sketchbook" post is long overdue, its been over 3 months since I last shared any of my drawings with you!

Over the last couple of weeks I've been working on a few projects, including some work for our Illustration Collective, Pastiche, but I can't say too much about any of it at the moment. But I can share a few of the drawings from them, and leave you guessing as to what they might be for!

I've recently treated myself to a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen, and I highly recommend it. Its a refillable brush pen that allows you to draw in the same you would with a brush and ink, only without the constant dipping! Its a great time-saver and a lot less hassle (and no washing brushes or ink pots!).

Hopefully as the projects develop, these drawings will become finished coloured illustrations that I'll be able to share with you!

In the meantime, look out on my Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages for snippets of what I'm getting up to.

Pastiche

Hey everyone!

I mentioned in my post earlier today that myself and 2 friends from my illustration course have recently started up a small collective to help us stay creative now that uni has finished.

We've given our collective the name Pastiche, which means:

"An artwork combining materials from various sources"

Pastiche consists of me, Hannah from Doodleheart and Selina Quach (aka the Deer, the Reindeer and the Unicorn!):

We all work in quite different styles but we're all interested in the same 3 subject matters: fairytales, mythical creatures and pretty florals. So expect lots of work along those 3 themes in the future!

If you haven't already, head over to Hannah and Selina's websites and have a little look, they've both got lots of lovely work for you to see!

We haven't got any finished projects to show you just yet, but we've had a few meetings and brainstormed lots of ideas, and something new and exciting its on it way!

Head over to our Facebook Page and give us a "like" to stay up to date with what we get up to, and there's a little sneak peak of our first project as well!
