Illustration Friday | Shadow.

Shadow puppets!

A little collaged illo for Illustration Friday; the topic this week is shadow. This illustration was taken from a page in my children's book I'm A Little Bit Scared Of...

Illustration Friday | Children.

We have a blackboard wall in our new kitchen. Last week, whilst attempting to entertain my best friend's little girl, I handed her a piece of chalk and she became totally absorbed in her drawings. It wasn't until about halfway through our little art session that I realised the possible negative consequences of teaching a toddler that it's okay to draw on the walls! There were a few times I had to prevent her from wandering into our hallway and decorating all our walls with her scribbles, so I'm hoping she won't be left unoccupied with crayons at home!

This week's theme for Illustration Friday is children. This is an image that was originally created as part of my children's book I'm A Little Bit Scared Of... The creativity of young children has always inspired me, as their drawings always show such incredible imagination, and I really enjoyed creating characters and drawings in a child-like style. 

Illustration Friday | Storm.

I'm a little bit scared of thunder when it's loud and crashy.

I haven't submitted an illustration for Illustration Friday for a super long time, but after popping over to the website earlier today, I noticed that this week's topic is storm. Admittedly, I created the full-version of this image quite a while ago - it's a section of one of the double-page spreads in my illustrated children's picture book I'm A Little Bit Scared Of... - but it just seemed to fit the them perfectly. 

Peeking through the window, watching a storm crash and rage outside whilst you're all safe and snuggled inside is definitely the best way to spend a storm; it's easy to run and hide if it gets a little bit too loud and crashy...

Illustration Friday | Heights.

I'm scared of being very very high up.

This is a bit of an old one, but it fits the theme perfectly. A double page spread taken from my children's book I'm A Little Bit Scared Of... which focuses on some of the fears children experience when they are young.

Illustration Friday | Round.

For Christmas, I would like a snow globe.

Illustration Friday; Stripes.

A little stripy-scarfed snowman, all wrapped up against the cold.

This design is taken from a Christmas card, which will be available to buy in my shop very soon.

Illustration Friday; Scary.

Happy Halloween!

This illo was featured on Illustration Rally as part of their Halloween Rally, and also in Creature Mag's Halloween Special.

Illustration Friday: Remedy.

A hug cures everything. :]

Illustration Friday: Shadows.

Admittedly, this is an illustration I created a while ago, but it just seemed like a perfect response to this week's topic.

The illo is a double page spread taken from my children's book I'm A Little Bit Scared Of...

Illustration Friday: Stir.

This cheeky little fella is helping his mummy out in the kitchen. He's discovered that cake batter tastes better before it's cooked - even green monster cake batter! :]

Illustration Friday: Sweater.

Pesky monsters.

Edit; I found out earlier that my illustration was chosen as 'Pick of the Week' for the sweater theme on Illustration Friday. Yay! :]

Illustration Friday: Modify.

Modified cardboard boxes = the perfect disguise.  :]

Illustration Friday: Idle.

A lazy frog. :]

Illustration Friday: Tango.

It takes two. (Spiky tails and pointy teeth are optional...)

Illustration Friday: Hollow.

Possibly not the most imaginative response to the topic, but I felt like collaging an owl. :]
