A little of this and that on a Sunday.

Happy Sunday all. It a bright brisk Autumn morn about 5C, the sheep are out and the ewes seem to be butting each other..hmmm  Anyway thinking of warmer times i.e Summer. This summer I had the opportunity to work on some illustrations with my childhood friend, Sue. It a story about the steel pan seen through a little girl and told in verse. At the back of the book there are some historial info and facts on the steel pan.  How Sue and I worked together - she drew beautiful sketches, line art and paintings,  and I then put it all in the the computer, created linart from the sketches, , combined various elements, altered and painted using photoshop.

It was an interesting project as our styles are quite different, but in the end I think it turned out well.

This street scene is from the history section  and is one of my favourites. As the illustration depicts a scene that is "old" the characters in the procession were all played by men.
The book is now out and available from book depository and amazon com. 

My entry to Sunday Sketches this week is a little felted robin I did this morning. I only mange to draw blood once :) an improvement.  Hope all have great Sunday and may you sheep stay on the right side of the fence and your kids wear wooly hat:)  Pop on by Sophia's Sunday Sketches and check out what everyone is up to. 

Cheers.
