Hello! Just a quick note to say I will be finally scanning and uploading the intimidating stack of portraits that have been scrawled across my desk. I have been equal portions busy and sick, so most of them are on the go sketches, some of which I forgot to date. So they’ll most likely be out of order too. Yay!

Thank you to the 344 followers who have been tracking my progress thus far. As a small thank you, my 366th follower will receive a free print, annnd I also will choose another follower at random who will get a free print too! Stay tuned.

Just a little note to say I have a pile of portraits waiting to be posted, but some of them I can’t share just yet! So here’s a sneak peek from today…
The rest will be going up next week x

Day 128: And I didn’t end up doing the portrait I wanted to today, because I saw these marker tests while flipping through my sketchbook, and for some reason I was compelled to draw this farming couple. hee

Day 127: Stayed home to finish up a bunch of marking, emails and coding for my store website. So I basically looked like this all day.
