February Bootcamp

Here the piece I submitted for this months bootcamp. The original design was hand drawn, then digitally coloured. I just didn't feel confident enough with paint, or have enough of it to hand - although I did collage, paint and sand my wooden plaque before scanning and applying my design. I have plans for paint though - I've prepped a couple of backgrounds so watch this space!

Some of my prelim sketches feature on my ig feed, if you fancy a gander.

Back in Bootcamp

Unless you follow me on instagram, you'd be forgiven for thinking I'd dropped off the face of the earth since Christmas. I didn't, I just had a few other things on my plate. But it's January, and that means I'm back in Bootcamp - well Lilla Rogers Bootcamp anyway. This months assignment was to design a journal cover with the theme of Edwardian brooches.
I turned by brooch sketches into a butterfly and a dragonfly for my piece, and created a coordinating print to go with it.
Bootcamp, it's good to be back!

This is dedication people because today I feel very second hand and not at all up for this, but whilst my little one naps, I chose not to nap myself, but to do my daily advent challenge. I am stubborn you see.
