drawing.

after writing this post back in october, i have finally found the confidence & the time to sit down & draw something. whether it's any good or not is another matter, but it's a lot better than i was expecting after 10 years without putting pencil to paper.

the other day i got thinking about this book i used to love when i was younger - Spike Milligan's 'Condensed Animals'. it was choca-bloc full of silly rhyming poems about all different animals, it was awesome. anyway, it got me thinking about a starting point to get me drawing again & the idea of using illustrations of unconventional animals paired with the conventional 'Aa is for' alphabet.

i started with a sketch of an african vulture - the aasvogel...

& finished up with this...

next up, the biscacha...

xox.
