I’ve packed lots of drawing process videos into this little scrapbook/vlog style round up of everything I’ve been up to for the past couple of weeks — plus there’s some cute bugs and cows and a visit with my horse with a cast on his leg.
You can check it all out here or watch below…
I’ve started making short ‘scrapbook’ style videos; just collections of all the wonderful and magical things I encounter each week, as well as a bit of drawing or painting in there too… This is the second instalment, with some cute dogs and ponies, thoughts on what it means to be a beginner and a little mixed-media sketch booking.
You can catch up on all the videos I’ve been making at my Youtube channel here.
At the end of last year, I decided to take on a lil’ drawing challenge - to draw a new page in my sketchbook every day for 100 days… here’s what happened.
My favourite seasonal-themed illustrating occasion is almost upon us: Valentine’s Day! Each year I like to make a little series of printable illustrations, with taglines ranging from cute to downright cringeworthy.
These printable Valentine’s artworks are exclusive to my Patreon; if you want to check it out, they’re available here.
And they were made using the drawings from my Western Lovers illustration suite, which is available for commercial and personal use here.
I haven’t been posting much here lately, but I wanted to share a bit more of my latest illustration suite (available for use here)… mostly because we’re heading into Valentines season, and that’s exactly what these were made for.
I had so much fun combining my favourite influences and inspirations – traditional tattoo styles, western themes (ponies!), hopeless romanticism and subdued, vintage-washed pastels… I hope you like them too.
I made a new sketchbook tour video! This one is a bit different – most of my sketchbooks have lots of messy scribbles and gaps and unfinished ideas in them, but this one was used for my ‘100 days of daily drawing’ challenge, where I (mostly) finished a full illustration each day. So there’s lots of colour, finished pieces and new or different experimental styles (for me).
You can check out the full video here.
I love putting together illustration suites and after working on Halloween and Christmas/festive season suites last year, I’ve realised I’m really into drawing occasion-themed illustrations.
Of course, as a hopeless romantic and heart-eyed dreamer, my favourite of the occasional themes is Valentines Day. And my logical leap in thinking about depicting all things love and devotion is: tattoos.
So I pulled together all my favourite influences into one suite: traditional tattoos, western wild hearts and plain ol’ love. And it’s available here for commercial and personal use.
I’ve finally organised a new video! This one is a quick visit to one of my favourite places in the world — the freshwater creek on the edge of my family farm.
If you like peaceful sketchbook scribbles and a little bit of story time, this ones for you – check it out and subscribe if you want to see more videos!
As always, thank you so much for taking an interest in my strange and magical creative world…
I made a commitment to draw in my sketchbook (and mostly finish each drawing) every day for 100 days… I’m just past halfway now, so I made a little catch-up video to reflect on what I’d learnt so far and share some of the illustrations and drawings I’ve worked on.
Watch the full video on YouTube here.
So I made a little video talking about how I think of things to draw in my sketchbook… particularly when I have nothing specific in mind. There’s two main methods I use, and I hope they might help you if you’re ever feeling a bit… out of ideas or uninspired.
If you want to see more videos, I’m uploaded semi-consistently on my Youtube channel here.
I made a new video, with loads of talking (which was scary for a shy person like me!) and a lil’ bit of sketchbook drawing, of course.
Lately I’ve been feeling a bit tired/stressed/stupefied by the thought of creative work, so I thought I’d put together a little video of the top three exercises or commitments I make to try and overcome creative block. These are just what works for me, and everyone’s creative practice is different, but hopefully they might be of some use or help to you when you’re feeling stuck too!
For more drawing videos, visit my YouTube channel here.
This was the most fun theme to illustrate, and I truly could have gone on forever – really tapping into my inner teen-goth-who-grew-up-on-a-farm identity.
Anyway, these graphics are available for commercial and personal use here.
Thank you so much for your support and interest in these commercial-use illustrations suites I’ve been developing; it’s really been so much fun and a really great new creative outlet.
I really love drawing landscapes with alcohol markers and pencils, in a scratchy, scribbly, layered way. It’s one of my favourite styles of artwork to watch come to life, too.
I hope you enjoy this drawing video, and let me know if there’s any other subjects or topics you’d like to see me work on in future instalments!
I’m sharing my first sketchbook tour video over on YouTube, here. This is an older sketchbook, but probably my best attempt at actually filling an entire sketchbook with finished drawings, so it’s a good one to share… most sketchbooks are filled with the scribbly pale ghosts of half-thought abandoned ideas.
But this one is vibrant and full of optimistic creative experimentation, so I really love it.
If you want to check out more drawing and exploring videos, my channel is here.
Strange and magical creatures hiding in rock pools has always been my thing. So I put together a little video all about one of my favourite places to go wonder-seeking — the New South Wales south coast — and the drawings/sketchbook pages inspired by such a place.
And really, finding those two octopus hiding in the rocks was one of my favourite moments – they both seemed to have really pronounced moods; one was curious and bold, and the other pulled a rock over its cave in a very obvious ‘no thanks’ to visitors. Which, of course, I can relate to.
Anyway, if you’d like to see more of my drawing videos, they’re all being uploaded regularly on my YouTube channel here.
I’m just sharing one of my favourite videos to date: a wander through the Dorrigo rainforest on Gumbaynggirr country, followed by some nature-inspired sketchbook scribbling.
If you’d like to take a look at how I draw and the things and places that inspire my work, please check out my YouTube channel here.
Thank you for tuning in, and taking in interest in my strange and magical world.
I haven’t shared any videos over on my YouTube channel in quite a while! So here’s a short ‘n’ sweet little video of a couple of sketchbook pages and the places/things that inspired them… Just to get the ball rolling again.
And if you’re interested, please go check out my other videos and subscribe.
If you’d like to take a sneak peek into the pages of my sketchbook and wander through all my recent ideas and musings and creative preoccupations, they’re all regularly updated on the Patreon here.
I’ve just uploaded some new colouring pages available for you to download/print/colour over on the Patreon, here.
Adapted from two of my most favourite, recent sketchbook pages (which you can take a gander at on the Patreon too — it’s where I share all sketchbook photos and detail shots), these pages are all about whimsical cowgirl magic.
My Spring Cuties illustration suite is on sale for a few more days (available here).
These graphics can be purchased for personal or commercial use; I’m always so happy and excited to see my work put to cool use, out in the world. So a big THANK YOU!! for supporting my work.
