Today’s offering is a little different… as you know I am on a little forced break from drawing (not by choice!) so Mondays is surprise day until the twins arrive Today we have a snippet from my show at No Vacancy. Ahhhh takes me back, it does. The wrists need to get better soon. I [...]

Mondoodle 7-12-2010

By elise | Published: December 7, 2010

It’s been a big weekend of markets… and a bit of a difficult week. I decided yesterday that I’d have to postpone my final book of the year because my wrists have developed carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s a pregnancy thing so will hopefully clear up when the boys arrive. But for now I CAN’T DRAW. [...]

Yesterday I was drawing like crazy to finish off a set of roughs for an Aussie Nibble book for Penguin. It’s called the Big Waves, written by Raewyn Caisley and is a ripper. So I thought I’d sneakily show one of the pictures as a bit of a preview… It’s a bout a little girl [...]

Here’re a couple of pictures that I did a little earlier this year and I had to share them with you! A package arrived early this morning from Koko Black, which is always an exciting thing. When I opened it I found soldiers and ballerinas hiding inside – my soldiers and ballerinas! Hooray! What’s more [...]

I still get a shock that it’s November. Which I think might have something to do with the reality that the boys are due in Feb (which I think will be mid Jan). And so I thought I’d draw some boys to help get me used to it. But after how they’ve been kicking me [...]

I have been thoroughly AWOL for the last couple of weeks because I was in JAPAN! (Insert face-breakingly enormous smiley here.) And what’s more it was for a holiday. An actual holiday – I took no drafts, didn’t jot ideas, wrote none of my novel and only drew about twice. Really and truly. It was [...]

Here’s a happy one I was in class last night and the pen was playing around (picture a disembodied hand autonomously drawing if you like). And here’s what it drew. Some time ago I did a girl in gumboots and mud using a newspaper as an umbrella. I liked that so it found its way [...]

Why hello there. So I tried to draw another girl yesterday and while I couldn’t make her very happy, I could at least make her a good gutsy character. I’d say the girls are here to stay. Yes, a few more boys will creep into the mix, but I couldn’t give up my little characters. [...]

By elise | Published: October 4, 2010

I was trawling through photos of our cat (and others) this evening on my return from Uni. Partly because I wanted to see what reference shots I had of our feline friends, and partly looking for inspiration for a Mondoodle. And so I came across one of our cat, taken through a window, after he [...]

Here are a couple of quick sketches done out in the street with a little bit of watercolour put on later. It’s lovely getting to draw people when they’re not looking. I’m actually very shy of doing this very often. I know it’s important to practise but I’d hate people to feel embarrassed about it. [...]
