Mondoodle 10-01-2011

By elise | Published: January 11, 2011

Here’s another snippet for a Mondoodle until I get the use of my hands back! Should be soon… Typing isn’t too bad but I do a lot of key mis-hitting through lack of feeling. Ah well. It’s fun to look back at some of my pictures and have a close peek at things in the [...]

Here’s one of my favourite character sketches of all time – it was for My Boots in Season which came out this… no! last year. Well, there we go. Happy New Year! What did you do? I sat quietly at home and dodged the heat. Waaay too hot in Melbourne that day with a score [...]

I didn’t even realise it was Monday yesterday! And then I worked it out when I found out that today is Tuesday already. Genius. Funny how days sneak around on holiday… Anyway, I was watching the latest Dr. Who Christmas special the other day and I found myself encountering what must be a common dilemma [...]

Hello friends! Here’s something in the Christmas spirit of sharing all good things – those being, of course, drawing and chocolate. If you happened to wander through Melbourne’s Royal Arcade of late you would have seen the delicious Koko Black window display featuring my soldier and ballerina characters! Hooray! I’m also spying some other beautiful [...]

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 [...]

By elise | Published: November 16, 2010

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 [...]

By elise | Published: November 9, 2010

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 [...]

By elise | Published: October 19, 2010

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 [...]
