Business Ends.
Term draws to an end. A month- or just under - to put some kind of order in all this and more images than need doing....

Pathways and cul-de-sacs.
A few weeks since last blog update. A lot of odd turnings - some not really leading anywhere. This illustration game is a LOT harder than it looks!
A few bits and pieces. Someday this will all hang together. Hopefully.:)

....I go back to college.
A first day back at Cambridge art school last week. Nervous, a bit. The new (to me) year group couldn't have been friendlier though, or more welcoming. Tutor was positive and encouraging which also helped.
All in all a great start to the term. I enjoyed the day immensely and it was lovely to be back in Cambridge - particularly in autumn. Beautiful.

But there. My project continues and these are some of my latest drawings/scruffy ink pictures for 'Sweetly Sings the Donkey'. As our tutor exhorts us to "experiment" - this is what I'm doing. In a fairly controlled sense because I am using only b&w- it's a question of hard/soft etc the images will be. I am re-reading and re-reading the book and if I can manage to put across at least some of the atmosphere - I'll be doing ok. Very atmospheric little novel.
All images are: charcoal/ink/chalk/pastel/conte crayon/pen/graphite stick.

Sweetly In Development......
...continuing Sweetly Sings The Donkey by Shelagh Delaney (1964) the novella I am illustrating for my MA in childrens book illustration.
All images in pen/ink/brush/conte crayon/pastel. Some rough sketches from life and some worked up at home - work in progress and trying things out at this point. These aren't 'finished' as such, although whenever I take work in my tutors always prefer my slap it on in 3 seconds intial work.
Thanks for looking folks - please keep popping back.
