Anatomy of a Drawing 1

I thought it would be interesting to dissect a drawing, so to speak. This is one from my Moleskines collection, book two. It began with a what should I draw? kind of question, and a suggestion from Peter of a walrus. No more of an idea than that. I pulled up photos from the computer [...]

Jumbled

Three things: 1. Just had a great meeting with Allen & Unwin to talk about a new project. It’s been a long time in the wings and is finally getting ready to start (after the epic is finished). A little archaeology, a little mayhem and a lot of film noir! 2. I’m off to Traralgon this weekend [...]

The downloads page on my website is updated now. So, all the links should be working for you to get the colouring-in sheets and The Night Garden word jumble (there’s an answer sheet too). And there’s a new thing… I know how hard it is to draw a character over and over again in the same [...]
