The Red Wheelbarrow



Wax Pastels on paper

I did this for Illustration Friday's "poem" theme. I always liked The Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos Williams (1923). We studied it at school and it was the only one I could ever remember.

Hair Towel



Pen and ink (coloured in photoshop)

Pen and ink
Another coffee inspired drawing. This was done before I began colouring in photoshop.

Coffee Spill



Pen and ink sketch coloured in photoshop
This was one of my first attempts at using photoshop to colour a sketch. In the end all I did was add the white of the cup and the nails.
