Can we just talk about how amazing and essential critique groups are?? I shared my piece with my group and @jasonhendr.bsky.social and @nicolaschofield.bsky.social suggested I make the headband red and it instantly elevated the whole piece! #kidlit #kidlitart #scbwidrawthis

I decided to make one more for the #scbwidrawthis challenge this month. I am much happier with this one! #kidlit #kidlitart #scbwiillustrators

"We did this with photography and digital art, AI is no different". People keep saying this, without having any idea what they are actually saying. I'm going to elaborate on this, from an "I actually studied art history" standpoint.

I tried doing some #urbansketching on holiday last week but I wasn't feeling it. So I did a few 3 minute blind sketches instead (don't look at the page. Only look at your subject.) This one was my favourite. Look at that expression and his little quiff! 🎠 #usk #sketchbook #kidlitart

Happy 4th of July! 🎨 💥🙀🐶🇺🇸 #kidlitart #boringstories

Been wondering why my toddler was talking about going on a boat this week. Kept asking when we would go on one and would I be there too. Anyway, we just went out to vote and I think there might have been some confusion / disappointment 😬😅 #sketchbook #UKGE2024
