I have called this one coming home. It is an experimental piece with collage, watercolour, gouache and ink

A little study in kids pastels @currysportrush #portrush #pastels #landscape #helterskelter #art #illustration #drawing #oil #texture #neon
Painting of a helter skelter from Portrush’s Curry’s Amusements. Neon orange and yellow lights light up the tower. The picture is after sunset summering blue hour so the night sky is dark and the helter skelter is bright against it. Beautiful strong colours. Blue and orange complimentary colours make it striking.

Not sure what to call this one🧐. Finally getting my digital idea to paper. This is watercolour and ink on 300gsm cold pressed paper.

Colourful semi-abstract painting with loads of texture. There is a white castle at the top off a rocky hill, the rocks and sky are crimson red. The sky is eerie.

Who doesn’t love Peter Pan? I love Mary Blair’s style of illustration. This is a study of the work of Mary Blair, recreated on Procreate. Her way of layering gouache was amazing 🥰

Peter Pan and the children are flying around Big Ben at night, silhouetted by the light from the clock.

When eaves dropping is a bad idea…

A little girl wakes up and hears the kids in the next tent telling ghost stories. She is in a blue tent sleeping beside other children. Her tent is dark. The tent next to them is lit up from inside and you can see the silhouettes of three people hunched over talking.

Illustration.
Life drawing, my little boy a few years ago. Glued to the TV. Love the pose, cool little guy. Watercolour pencils on paper.
Illustration of a little boy, leaning over the cushion of the armchair with one leg up. Looking upwards. The boy is wearing a blue hoodie and jeans. The shoes are grey with an orange stripe. The style is textured using pencils.

Illustration of my little sister (around 5/6 years). Isn’t she cute with her curly hair.

#illustration #storybook #characterdesign #curlyhair
This Illustration shows 5 different poses of a little girl age 5/6. The colours are bright and colourful with oranges and blues. The style is whimsical. First one she is standing proud in a blue blouse with yellow polka dots, orange shorts and yellow shoes. Second she is barefoot, laying across the floor chin propped up on her hands reading a book. Third she is sitting at the kitchen table, legs dangling. The fourth she is skipping gleefully. On the fifth image, she is heading to school, lunchbox in hand wearing a blue uniform and carrying a larger orange schoolbag that is half the size of her.
