I’m not getting a lot of time for sketchbook play lately because, contracted play. But the other night I did squeeze this one in. Then over the next couple of nights I sketched out the middle and the end to this story. And let me tell you, this one’s got tea!

But I have no idea when I’ll get to colouring those because, contracted play.

“Why do you keep drawing things with fish in them, Kel?”

“I…don’t know.”

I ended a day of drawing with some drawing and at first it was just a quick painting of the woman. But because I always want to know the story I added the ladder.

Then I needed to know why the ladder?

So I drew the cats.

And why the cats?

So I added the missing cats sign.

And before I knew it I was onto a second page but it didn’t feel quite right.

“This needs fish.”

I think that is how it happens.

His name is Albert. Albie for short.
He’s been working at the cement factory since he was twelve years old. Smokes a pack of cigarettes a day (still) and hasn’t trusted new music since Johnny Cash died. Also none of this is true. I have no idea who he is. But I bet he could rotate your tyres with one hand.

#sketchbook #sketchaday #illsutration
I will only be referring to the last day of the week as Saxy Sunday from now on. Or until I start drawing meat or fish again. Then it’ll be, well, you know what it’ll be…

ps: Happy Mother’s Day, mums!

A little sax on a Sunday

#sketchaday #sketchbook #illustration
Weekend warm up, draw Grand Central Station with me
Not actual speed
I’m no super hero
I have a brain that will hold onto an idea until I’ve explored it two, three, ninety seven different ways, but will it remember the exact materials I used to mix that perfect shade of blue on the lady?

Useless to me in a game of snap, this pair!
But I like ‘em anyway

#sketchbook #sketchaday #illustration
I’ve unwillingly begun singing this song (audio in post) in my head without realising it while I draw lately. Because the lyrics (as I remember them):
You gotta know when to hold ‘em
Know when to fold ‘em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run…

are exactly what I’m thinking mid illustration.
Every time.
This one got holded.
My fishermen have taken somewhat of an ominous turn.
But I’m not mad about it one bit because it’s not often I get to draw things like this working with…picture books.

And also, no, this isn’t a cry for help.
I’m fine.

#sketchaday #sketchbook #fishermen #illustration
Teeny tiny snippet of today’s work.
I say “work” but is it really work when you have to drag yourself away because you’ve noticed that outside your studio door it’s pitch black and the dog needs to eat?

Probably not.
