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. 

Another swimming turtle WIP

WIP. My third turtle illustration. I have drawn this one a little larger than the previous turtle drawing so I could get more detail in and make it look more realistic.

Best Christmas present ever!

I received this amazing Christmas present from my wonderful husband! 120 Caran D'ache color pencils. I can't wait to try them out!

Swimming turtle 2

Coloured pencil on paper. I used a clear solvent pen on the water to smooth out the pencil a little. It kind of worked. Size A5.

Handmade books

Here is a collection of four books that I made during a weekend bookbinding class. It was a lot of fun and great to learn different binding techniques.

Swimming Turtle - complete

I finished this illustration a while ago but I have only got around to posting it here now. I'm not happy with how the water turned out. I'll have to give it another go some time. I don't think there is enough depth in the water. I like how the turtle came out though, even if the paper I used wasn't the best for colored pencils. I've since been using smoother paper to get a crisper edge on my line work. The WIP can be found here.

It's a Boy / It's a Girl greeting cards

Here are a few greeting cards I made in preparation for my niece being born. Since I was making one for a girl anyway I decided to make some for a boy as well. A very limited stock is available through my Etsy store or for digital versions (including options for twins and triplets as well) go to my GCU store.
