I haven't been able to get out my paints yet so I've been sketching & drawing instead which has been remarkably refreshing. Usually I don't draw, in fact I have a fear of drawing. Being surrounded by people who are amazing artists (my partner who is a tattoo artist and does custom drawings for clients every day, two of my closest friends Louise & Alyssa who are both talented animators and my amazing friends Hannah & Leanne at work) makes me nervous to draw anything because I never think it will be good enough. Quite silly really, because everyone knows that the only way to get better at anything is to practice.
Practice
Practice
Practice
And practice some more
So without all my other materials to distract me, I decided to pick up the pencil (and pen) and get drawing. I am actually quite happy with these three drawings and am getting ideas for journal pages I want to start once our office is set up at the new house.

Hee! I love your style! It reminds me of books I had as a kid, especially my Pippi Longstockings books, I'll try and rummage them out some time for you to have a look at, it's a neat style.
