Turtle sketches


A few turtle sketches I've been working on over the past couple of weeks. I just love turtles! They're so ugly that it makes them really interesting to draw. I've chosen the middle drawing to make into a finished piece similar to this turtle illustration I did a while back.

Children's book illustration course - Part 1



Last weekend I participated in a children's book illustration course run by Sandra Morris. I had such a great time and learnt some valuable tips as well. Over the two days we learnt about the history of children's storybook illustration, drawing techniques, character development and we even got to make a clay model of the main character in our story - which we had written prior to the start of the course. I'm really looking forward to Part 2 of the course in a few weeks time.

My clay model is still unfinished. I need to paint it once it's dry.
