Photoshop Illustration.

A few weeks back I found my graphics tablet which I had completely forgotten about. Now I have a whole bunch of free time during my uni summer break I thought it would be a great chance to get myself doing the things I used to love and haven't done in a very long time. I did a set of three potted plant drawings, a cactus, an aloe vera, and a venus fly trap. These were all similar in colour and style (including being drawn into the same style pot).

You can buy these illustrations as separate A4 prints or as a set of 3 A5 here.

Handmade Sketchbooks.

I recently made two of my own sketchbooks using a variety of different papers including tracing paper, old opened out envelopes, parchment paper, etc. I used different papers since I'm really bad at sticking with one sketchbook, and in hope that this will keep me interested until the end. This will also help me with different approaches to different paper and media, helping me become looser in my illustration work. To make these books I used the coptic stitch binding method. For a first attempt, I don't think they came out too bad, they could be a little neater but that will come with practice I suppose.
