No Rest - I saw this phrase in a meme that was doing the rounds last week. It stuck in my mind, so I drew it on a warning sign. Pen and ink with digital colour.

A biro tree - the ink ran out before I could finish the trunk, but I kind of like the way it looks like this.

This is wonderful, lovely use of subtle colours!

Work in progress - deer skull sketched, now to add some creepy vines and flowers, then ink it.

Beautiful piece and the most interesting interpretation of the prompt I've seen!

A colour version of the ink drawing I posted the other day. In my mind this is the deep woods version of a drive through Starbucks - knock on the shutters to buy your potions and charms.

An ivy-covered wall and shutters, drawn with fine liner pens.

I’ve been working for ages to come up with an art style for an illustrated story I want to write. This is the sort of thing I’ve landed on. It’s a hybrid style, ink line art with digital colour.

Trying out new styles - looking for a way of representing foliage that doesn’t look too busy in the background of a larger piece. I like this negative space approach.

If you buy this framed print, you can hang it on the wall and pretend you have a window which looks out into a dark and mysterious forest. Considerably cheaper than buying a house in the country. (They are on my website)
