Drawing for Tractive

In order to create a series of illustrations for @tractive , we got a chance to test the Tractive smart tracker with Mogwai, Oona, and Lizzie. We’ve been following their every move, activity levels, heart rate, barking, and...

Spooky colouring pages

Boo! With October comes the invitation to cozy candlelights as well as some spookiness and all things pumpkin. For creatives, it's also the month of drawing challenges like Inktober. Last year, I went for the full month of illustrated prompts, but this year, I wanted to...

This time of the year!

Back to school, back to...

Dogs and their treasures

More dog drawings coming soon! I got so many requests to continue the dog drawings after the 100-day project- and I admit I missed drawing dogs- that I came up with an idea for a new project. When reviewing some of my personal favourites (not the dogs,...

Off to Kirrin, the process

Of course, it's inspired by my favourite books :-) I’ve been experimenting with a dip pen and ink. I have to say, it’s way less terrifying than it was back in my school days. Perhaps the pen is better? Or the ink thicker? At least until now, I...

Hot dog summer days

Daily dog drawings (procrastinating the end of the challenge)

Last week, I wrote that this would have been my final week of the 100-day dog drawing challenge. I was thinking of drawing more portraits to finish the challenge- but I couldn't just yet. - It felt more fun to split the last remaining drawings over...

Rockhounds and rainbows

The weather report announced a beautiful, sunny evening, but instead it started pouring rain right when we left home. The plan was to drive into the woods, look for the helicopter, and then drive a little further to a lake for a hike. Things didn't go...
