..and finished

I added a bit more colour, some food to the blanket and the double spread is finished - yeah.   I am not sure how bright it looks for the saturation of the green varies between my cintqi and my normal tv monitor . So if the green grass and birch tree leaves look bright green them are meant to be more muted :)  I did this illustration using a variety of brushed in photoshop on my old trusty 15"wacom cintq . This illustration is part of a bilingual children's book written by Lauren Bruzonic.

a bit more colour

a bit more coloured added in between being a mother.

Here we go again

I am really terrible at this blog thing. But I will try again ( and again). At present I am working on a cute little dear called Osvaldo. He is a sweet Spanish speaking bear who is teaching young  kids what he eats.  I am using a looser style in the background this time  with a more of watercolour feel,I hope. Here is a page I am at present working on.

page in progress of Osvaldo. 

Valentine turtle

As Valentine cards are not out as yet and I needed to post one this week for a relatives kid's school project, so I drew this little turtle :) 

Below the card is the line art. It is small, only 1.5 x 3  inches and done is a pencil brush and has a sketchy quality and dark slate in colour.  But if you wish to down load it just right click and save it on your pc. This is ONLY for personal use.

Sheep - a little photo shoot

Finally got around to taking photos of the new felted sheep :)

  Discovered that 2 stones laid not parallel in one shot sometimes lines up rather strangely with the big long one depending on my angle. Thank the heavens for photoshop lol

Freebie Emo Amber - Just because Digital stamp

I know I closed the doors of Just Some Lines in July this year,but here is a little freebie for you to use only for personal use.  If you are unsure what it meant by personal use please email me or ask in the comments below.
*sighg* It seems as if one does not keep a presence online other folks think it is okay to copy your character and call them their own.  So from time to time as work allows I will post a freebie here.
Hope you enjoy it. <3 p="">Right click and save as to download the black and white line art/ digital stamp.

Working on a little wedding momentum. Have all the pieces in place and now just need to decide how to put them together.  In the background are some other things I have about and my present attempt to felt a rat.

WIP Swallow in blues

Had a lull in illustrating and strained my back so sitting long was not an option and tada an old canvas got primed some paint added. I keep seeing wisteria in the background but  not sure how to go about it as  I do not want to lose the vertical lines. Ack I can't draw a straight line for anything lol.
