All of my ideas begin as little scribbles in my sketchbook... -

I then draw my image in black and white, using H, HB and B pencils. I scan the drawing into my computer & print it out. -

I love this bit! I start to colour in over the drawing. The printed image underneath gives me a tonal base to work on. -

I colour in the rest of my illustration using CARANd'ACHE Supracolor soft and Derwent Studio pencils. -

Finally I finish off with a touch of white gouache to add final details and highlights. Ta Dah!
How my drawings come to life...
All of my illustrations start life as little scribbles in my sketchbook. They gradually come to life bit by bit as I adjust the elements around and make sure that the image has a good sense of balance. As I work on the initial sketch I'll get an idea of the colours which would suit it best. I work carefully and lovingly, slowly building up the layers of colour until I get to the point when I know it's time to stop and put my pencils down.
Getting a collection of printed stock together has been very exciting for me. For years now family and friends have been receiving my cards, mainly at Christmas. In fact it has become a Christmas tradition to receive my latest card!
I'm delighted to get this shop up and running and to share my designs with you. Thank you for taking the time to look.

Owner, Illustrator
I'm a simple soul who loves the beautiful things in life: the changing seasons, the sun on my face, a sea breeze. I find joy in so many beautiful and silly things, I then try to get it all down onto paper in my drawings. I hope it's contagious!

They are a great digital printing company based in Little Clacton, Essex, England. I send them my illustration as a jpeg and they print it for me and package it with a board backing to protect it and it is inserted into a cellophane bag. They offer a large range of papers and finishes.
