A sketchbook page of four poses from my young boy's early morning football session. Showing running, dodging, twisting and turning while controlling a football

Sketchbooking from our little boy's morning's football training. Pretty happy with capturing the movement and poses as it was raining and just above freezing out there.

Gotta do it, whatever the weather :)

A cartoony colour illustration of an anthropomorphic cloud with floating and a face. This one is sticking his tongue out and looking cheeky

A cartoony colour illustration of an anthropomorphic cloud with floating and a face. This one has its thumbs up and a big smile - the caption says Hey!

Most people draw clouds as lovely fluffy shapes…. But what if they were characters with cheeky personalities, that would be cool :)

An inked comic panel in a cartoon of style of the scene from the Empire strikes back where Luke has been captured by the wampa and is hanging upside down in his ice cave. As Luke is upside down his clothes are hanging down so you can see his red spotted pants - or underwear (depending on uk/us :) ) the wampa is walking into the cave saying 'hey, nice pants'

Hey, nice pants Luke. The idea came from a tiny sketchpad gag, made me laugh so I inked it up :)

A colour and ink illustration for this month's #kidlitartpostcard day. It's of a happy little green alien that has come to earth playing on a children's coin operated rocket ride as if it were the sort of thing he would ride on back home

A inked illustration in a comic style of Luke in the wampa cave from Star Wars. He’s dangling from the roof of the ice cave trying to reach his lightsaber which is starting to move….could be the force…. As he is hanging upside down you can see his red polka dot pants (if you are English) or underwear (if you are from the US)

Daily sketch from a little while ago but….. Luke in the Wampa cave.

Nice undies :)

A photo of a page of pencil sketches with some pencils that have been sharpened so many times there’s hardly anything left of them….but I still use them :)

I actually have a box of 12 brand new mono 100s, but I want to get the very last out of these first :)

An inked comic style illustration of the scene from star wars of princess Leia trying to record her message on r2d2 the speech bubble says 'how the &*#"! do you record on one of these?'

Oh and you might like this in a similar style - if it was 1978 you had to press play AND record at the same time back then....

Ah thanks. I have done a version with a speech bubble gag - I'll post that up when I get a minute

An inked sketch in a comic style of a bit wearing an apron serving up an ice cream. He has a hair cut that looks like a scoop of ice cream :)

Cool character design of the day :) anyone for ice-cream.

And yeah, I gave him ice cream hair :)

Oh hi, I've just seen this, been deep in work mode and have just come up for air :)

I'm working on a project of my own (finally) so: writing, 'boarding, sketching, cleaning up, inking, colouring.

I still start with pencil on paper - I'm getting through lots of paper

An inked sketch of a cute alien character with long ears, a big wide mouth showing two round teeth, a hoody, shorts and backpack. He looks like he’s on his way to school

A sketch drawn with a pencil brush in procreate on the iPad of a cute cartoon cat with big cat eyes and ears perked up

Trying out some of the new pencils in the new #procreate library.

This is Waratah, cool name, really nice pressure sensitivity for layering lines. I land of sculpt shapes when I draw and this has a good feel to it

Yep it's a little different - I can do more life-like work... It's just more fun to work with stylised characters:)

An inked sketch of a traveller on a train in north Spain that I drew in my sketchbook. She has a large backpack and is leaning to one side while busily looking at her phone. Drawn from life in real time

From one of my sketchbooks. Sketched this while on a bumpy train in north Spain last year.

Since posting this if had an idea for a gag where Han says ‘and I thought these things smelled bad on the outside’ And the tauntaun says ‘I was thinking the exactly the same thing, you haven’t washed since tatooine’

An inked and coloured illustration of a cartoon Han Solo riding on a Tain Tain on the ice planet hoth from Star Wars, the empire strikes back. Han is wearing an enormous furry jacket and the Tain Tain doesn’t look too happy about being out in the freezing cold. This is a postcard for the kidlitartpostcard day

Woah!, its #kidlitartpostcard day!
