Looking for some inspiration after a bad day |
It's a tricky one but I'm going to share my top ten favourite illustrations from this year - in no particular order. It's been such a busy year for creative monsoon thank you to everyone who purchased a print and thank you for all the wonderful feedback and encouragement. Looking forward to making lots more art next year!
Continuing a bit of a cat craze from last year - Nefferkitty |

Fine my prints at www.creative-monsoon.com
I thought I'd share some pictures of the process that goes into my illustration work using this rabbit I've been working on for the past couple of days. It always amazes me how such a slight change to shapes and positioning can make such an enormous difference. First I start with sketches, sketches and more sketches getting the shapes and styles right, this can go for days, sometimes weeks even. Then it's onto the computer. Always good to step away for a while and come back to an illustration with fresh eyes later.
Lots of sketching first |

Who ate all the carrots |
