New coloured pencils piece started. I work mostly with derwentartofficial #lightfast and #drawing This is on derwents fabulous #lightfastpaper my favourite for coloured pencils if I need a smooth surface

Absolutely love transport for London humour

And the buggy board customisation is finished. I'm pleased to say the little person loves it! My original characters from the books I've written and illustrated for her.

What an amazing week with @amybrownleeillustration and @derwentartofficial celebrating #drawingturns40 with just 20 mins most days. I've learnt lots and loved using the original 24 set of drawing pencils. Now only 6 mths till Christmas and I'm a v good girl @santa may I please have the full set

On this father's day what's better than a summer picnic in the woods celebrating #drawingturns40 with @derwentartofficial nd @amybrownleeillustration

For todays prompt of #dancingbutterflies for @derwentartofficial and @amybrownleeillustration #drawingturns40 I thought I'd be a little experimental. My 1st sketch was ok but I wanted to take the butterfly fairies a little further

Today's prompt of evening glow for #drawingturns40 with @derwentartofficial and @amybrownleeillustration Super quick today I'm off to enjoy the sunshine 🌞

I'm loving the #drawingturns40 with @derwentartofficial and @amybrownleeillustration todays prompt was rose lemonade 😋 refreshing on a hot summer day. If anyone would like to send some sun 🌞

Loving the daily drawing to celebrate @derwentartofficial #drawingturns40 & @amybrownleeillustration Todays prompt was #springwardrobe. The simple colour pallette of the set of 24 original drawing pencils is such fun to use & versatile, too! Its great to get back to basics with a limited pallette.

For todays @derwentartofficial #drawingturns40 prompt of day trip. A quick sketch of the family on their way. Loving the muted pallette of the 24 set of drawing. It's such a well-rounded versatile set. #drawingpencils #dailysketch

Just a super quick 5min sketch today in my sketchbook for @derwentartofficial #drawingpencils #drawingturns40

A new art project started a huge shout out to @unclefrogface.bsky.social for his wonderful helpful advice. Do go check his YouTube and socials out. Such an inspiration to me and an amazing artist, crafter, and all-around human being.

Taking a break, Drawing things that make me happy and bring me back to childhood. Alice in wonderland is still a favourite. #ohuhumarkers #ohuhu10

Making progress with @bonnysnowdonacademy #colouredpencilweek using my favourite @derwentartofficial #lightfastpencils and #drawingpencils #africansafari #giraffe

Fun workshop with @letteringbykaren in @theworkshopweek and @thehappyevercrafter #lettering #workshopweek #ohuhu

And the little lon cub is finished, already for framing now

How did "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" become the typical sentence that contains all letters of the alphabet and not "sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" which is objectively a million times cooler?

Lion cub, live draw part 1 with #colouredpencilweek2026 Thank you 😊 @bonnysnowdonacademy its just what I needed today. I've had fun and am looking forward to tomorrow's draw.

And we're done. I've loved exploring and experimenting with @derwentartofficial #inktensepencils I've learnt lots, some good, some oops 😬 along the way and will definitely be exploring this further. Ducky and Zander will finish their ice creams and head off on their next adventure.

Main colour done and activated, bit of bleeding even with the outliner pencil. I'll put it down to the cotton and the amount of water used. I wanted to be sure all the pigment was activated. Line work to go. @derwntart #inktensepencils

New project started today with @derwentart #inktensepencils on a cotton tote Bonus points if you recognise my original characters

Thought for the day, a digital switch off see you in a few days x

And the #kingfisher is finished such fun drawing this one on #draftingfilm with @derwentart #lightfast pencils

HMS Sheffield was a Type 42 guided missile destroyer and the second Royal Navy ship to be named after the city of Sheffield in Yorkshire.

The great wheel is now turning to Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere as we celebrate the return of vitality and passion. In the Southern Hemisphere, the wheel turns to Samhain, a time to honor our ancestors. May this season bless you wherever you are <3

Fun drawing along with @bonnysnowdonacademy this evening, still have a bit more to do. Lots of helpful information, too! Instead of polychromos, I used my favourite @derwentartofficial lightfast pencils and lightfast paper. A fabulous way to spend an hour #drawing #realism #colouredpencils

HE IS RISEN Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. #heisrisen

Tetelestai 'He said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.' John 19:30 Good Friday is a day the whole Church, with heavy hearts, remembers the death of our Savior. "Father, I put my life in Your hands."

Progress has been made little mouse needs a little something but its coming together nicely #coloredpencil #realism
