Preparatory Drawing

 Greetings

I have been working on a fantasy novel for many years and had been giving some thought to publication options.

When I was considering one form of self-publishing I started thinking about a cover illustration.

I came across this idea (which is based on one of the supernatural characters) in one of my sketch books.

In the end I decided on a different idea for the potential cover (which I may post about at a later date).

I am, however, now working on a painting based on this pencil and ink sketch.

I will post about it when it is finished.

Until next time

Adieu

Which Witch?

 Greetings

Here is a new cartoon I have just finished.

I was on my daily walk  before all the schools were closed. It was obviously Book Day and a little girl was  dressed as a witch.

Unfortunately, her parents had no broom, nor the ability to make one.

So... they had given her a mop.

Until next time

Adieu

One of the things I am always trying to do is to find ways to successfully render many different surfaces and textures.

glass is one of the more difficult ones.

Archers

 Greetings

Here is quite a fun bit of heraldry.

This is the arms designed ( before my time as King of Arms) for the archers of a re-enactment group.

It is meant to depict one arrow splitting another.

It took me a bit of thought before I came up with the blazon.

I blazon this as : 

Per fess vert and or an arrow proper palewise point in chief  splitting another of the same palewise the two halves embowed and counter embowed

Until next time
