the story of the traveller.
Month: April 2017
I’m practising landscapes at the moment, so eventually this whole page will be filled and fully shaded, but I thought it looked kinda neat as just a corner vignette too, so here we are.
Well this is fun. Still not finished. But working from front to back is giving me all these cool not-quite-a-crop pictures along the way 🙂

this woman is a traveller and I’m about to design a sidekick for her but I haven’t decided whether to go fantasy (probably a dog but maybe a mini dragon or a medium-sized cat) or sci fi (robot of some sort) yet.
edit: she’s getting a serval as soon as i figure out how to draw one.
My entry for April’s #scbwidrawthis, with prompt word surprise 🙂
Today I bought a new sketchbook and then went to see the NGV’s exhibition of William Eggleston’s photographs (which was amazing btw) and then sat in the sun and drew Princes Bridge. So all in all it was basically a perfect morning.

what’s the seminar on?
The difference between illustrating picture books and illustrating novels (for kids/YA) or graphic novels. Purpose of illustrations, techniques, etc.
I was super keen because, for starters, most of the book industry resources are catered to writers over illustrators, and if they are catered to illustrators they tend to assume that you’re a picture book illustrator. And while I’m still keen on picture books, I’m feeling much more excited about illustrating books for older readers at the moment (a la HP project). But when I work I also feel like I’m cobbling together tips as I go along, and have several times wished for information from people who actually know what publishers want from illustrators in that setting so yay.
It was pretty cool and I’ll do a little write up post on my portfolio page when I’ve had a little more time to reflect on it 🙂

Fan art for Scurrilous, a Harry/Draco fic by Sara’s Girl (ao3, LJ).
Sara’s Girl is one of my absolute fave fanfic writers. Some recs: All Life is Yours to Miss, This Summer, Catfished, or any of her advent fics (Stop and Stare is maybe my fave?)
the printing-postcards-at-home project is go!
