Follow your dreams

It's not long now till my first baby will be born...only 2 weeks to go - hopefully ;) and in this time of waiting, I am going back to painting and drawing. I'm trying a textured paintings, witch is something I never attempted for a children's illustrations, but I'm really happy with the effect. So this one is motivational... I will always support my daughter in everything she wants to do (let's just hope her dream will not be to become a youtuber ;D).

@Picturehooks workshop with limericks

I attended workshop in Edinburgh organised by Picturehooks and we developed a character and a short storyboard based on limericks we were given. I choose this lovely limerick:

There was a young pig from Racine
Whose botanical interests were keen.
He planted a sock
in a bright window box,
where it blossomed and sprouted a bean.

And on the picture there you can see the little pig in an action of planting his own sock ;) I really enjoyed to try and illustrate a limerick, I think it's a great way how to illustrate a story when your own writing is not the best ( like mine ;).

Summer time is always a sketchbook time!

Beware, Indian summer will be here soon!
