Aloe Mawii

It's finished! Coloured pencil on A3 Hahnmuhle Britannia matt 300g paper. The colours from this scan aren't completely accurate to the original but I got them as close as I could.

Here is a WIP of my current project, an aloe vera plant in coloured pencil on Hahnmuhle Britannia matt 300g paper. A sketch of the same plant can be viewed here.

Feature in CP Hidden Treasures magazine

I have just received my digital copy of the "Ann Kullberg Coloured Pencil Hidden Treasures" magazine where my Red Rose illustration is featured!

2nd place in Sea Animal Portraits competition!

My turtle illustration got second place in another deviantArt competition! I should really have come fourth, but two people ahead of me got disqualified for not following all the competition rules. Ah well, I'll take it :-)

Swimming Turtle finished

I finally finished it.

Swimming Turtle WIP 2

Making progress, slowly. I'm really wanting to finish this in the next couple of weeks, it's been dragging on for too long now. 

Huia WIP

Here is a work in progress of the extinct New Zealand bird, the Huia. Created using colored pencils. See the finished work here.

First card sold on Greeting Card Universe

I just sold my first greeting card on Greeting Card Universe. It's not my most preferred card by any means, but it's nice to know that someone out there liked it enough to buy it! I haven't been active on GCU for a couple of months - I've been focusing on drawing and making jewellery, but I plan to start putting more cards up on GCU in the New Year.

Turtle illustration complete!

I'm quite excited about this one. It look a long time, but I think it was worth it in the end. Now I want to do an illustration of a turtle completely underwater. That will be a challenge.

Edit: Wow! I got an honourable mention for entering this drawing into an online competition on  deviantArt!

Turtle WIP

Created using coloured pencils on A4 card, although it almost looks like watercolour with the bad photograph.
