Go to ....and Party!

I guess we all have our "go to" subjects when we're at a bit of a sticking point! Mine used to be mushrooms (great to just doodle away!) ...but now its Bears! Just finished a couple of little jobs so have had fun finishing this party bear .... it is Friday after all!!!!

What to do????? What to do?????

The most frightening thing in my working day? A blank sheet of paper! Especially if its a gloriously  expensive piece .... The sketchbook can be scary enough though! And then you start working ... and have to decide whats worth developing and what isn't. If you have a brief or a commission its actually easier believe it or not! Maybe the best way to go is a combination of what excites you, what absorbs you so you don't know where the time went .... and hopefully some feedback ...happy or painful ..it all helps!!

Bear With a Purpose!!

Today I finally sat down and started to draw again! Its been a long summer ... a great summer ..but the girls are both back in England now - so no excuses! The drawing muscles are a little rusty so it was good to have a play around with a few materials and get back in to the swing of things ... kind of starting with no real purpose ... aiming towards working with PURPOSE! And - of course- a bear or two :D
So onwards with my book idea plus start getting things ready for a new online store :D
