Battersea dogs home sketchbook.

Sorry for the distinct lack of regular updates. I've been slightly manic recently (Interning at Penguin Children's books, illustration stuff and more) which I will in time... hopefully soon... update this blog with.

For now, here is some older work which I don't think I ever got round to posting. A few select pages from when I went to Battersea dogs home for  a few days for reportage drawing. The final result of the project is here.

Monkey Business (although orang-utans aren't technically monkeys!)

I'm back from Borneo! It was an amazing experience and I was so lucky to get such close contact with the orang-utans and have such a lovely group of girls to share the experience with. I miss them all so much. The orang-utans are incredible creatures, so clever and so naughty. If you take anything away they literally beat their hands on the floor, scream and throw a mega tantrum... just like children.

I didn't forget, while I was way, to take my trusty moleskin and do a bit of sketching... it's been a while!

Here is my lovely group!

Me and Chiquita.

Me working hard while Tomtom (in quarantine) relaxes!

Pencils for 'The Big, Not So, Bad Wolf.

The full mock-up of my picture book! Enjoy!
