There is something about books, something I cannot explain but I want to read them all.
I read a lot but not enough to think of myself as well read or to even make a mark on all those tens of thousands of possibilities.
I have a quirk with books, I will not crease the spine. To crease the spine is to break the books back and books should be respected and treasured.
The books on the bedside table.
Artists soft pastel sticks and pastel pencils on pastel paper under 15 mins.

A Doodle a Day is a place where I publish sketches created for fun and the love of drawing and more finished illustrations. I draw primarily with pen and ink, either dip pen or fountain pen. I do use other mediums such as watercolour, acrylics, pencil and soft pastels but my first love as a medium is pen and ink, especially dip pen.
I trained and worked for many years as a graphic designer, artist and studio manager within publishing as well taking on freelance projects. I draw for the sheer enjoyment of creating something from nothing but a white sheet of paper and a bottle of ink. I also work as an illustrator concentrating on Childrens illustration. I hope that you get as much enjoyment from seeing these sketches and illustrations as I do from creating them.
