I really would like to join in with inktober this year but there’s just no spare time for it. Instead, here is something I did a few weeks back just playing around with an old brush I made years ago. #childrensbookillustration #illustration #kidlitartist #brightreads #brightartist (at Tutshill, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BopdCjOlX9J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=94kj44wpn3w8

I’ve been working really hard on a few new pieces for my portfolio. I’m really loving this process of using traditional and digital. I will hopefully be able to post the finished things soon. #kidslit #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration #illustration #artist #pencil #colouredpencil #brightartist #brightreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhbX-aF6Sb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7lbwqrs5ewke
