My first work in print!

This week has been very exciting for various reasons and I've been working on a few lovely commissions. Unfortunately, I can't share any of it with you just yet, so I thought I'd show you this piece which has been featured in Doodle Arts Magazine.

It's a Filipino publication, but you can view a free digital version of their teaser magazine Doodle Arts Collection online.

My doodle and a short bio was featured in the 'Spotted' section on page 44 so go and have a nosy if you want to find out a little more about me!

This piece is meant to look like a landscape, with the sea at the bottom, land in the middle and sky at the top.

As always, I had great fun drawing it! I love the way the white windmill stands out so much against the brown.

Here's the drawing in progress!

...and here it is in the magazine.

See you next week peeps!

I'm sharing this post on the following blogs:  Handmade Harbour, Manon Popje's Illustrations, Nifty Thrifty Things, Be Different Act Normal and Tatertots and Jello.

Ballpoint pen drawings - Mum's sewing box

Deep in Christmas shopping, card writing and festive baking here so I only have a couple of drawings to share with you today and I'm cheating a little as the second one is only half finished!

They're both drawn with ballpoint pen. This one's A5 sized.

It's not really obvious here but this one is on cream A4 paper. It's drawn from a photo of an interesting fashion pin board which I found on Flickr. I still have the other half to do :)

Here are the mince pies that have also been keeping me busy!

Today I'm linking up to the following blogs: Lorik Art and Manon Popje's Illustrations
