Really enjoying getting to grips with some new materials and some new themes ready for the seasonal markets. I've always been a sucker for working in black and white ... but I know I need to do more in colour if I'm ever going to get anywhere. If you're a black ink addict like me ... colour can be scary! But I've really enjoyed "playing" around a bit ... and getting stuff ready for Seasonal Markets has actually helped. Working on cards and small illustrations has made it all feel a bit less risky. I've been using Caran d"Ache "Pablo" pencils which are really forgiving as long as you use them on a smooth surface.
And my sketch book has come in real handy ... makes life easier when you can pick out some ideas to work on rather than staring at that blank paper wondering what on earth to do next! Its something I'd really encourage any Artist or Writer to keep!
Well wish me luck at the Markets (at Thermae Son this thursday 10-3) and thanks for looking in on the blog! :D
