Illustration 5 - Friendship in Storytelling

Day 6. So what happened to day 5... well day 5 didn't quite work out and turned into 'one of those' days when interruptions seemed to be the order of the day and the train of thought just wasn't there. Today I was pondering what to work on next and couldn't make my mind up and didn't want another 'non event' of a day like yesterday.

So how to choose. Well today I decided to use some logic and go with a sketch that was very popular on the site a few weeks back, so in a way I let the visitors to A Doodle A Day decide even thought you might not realise due to my warped logic.

I wanted to improve the image but without loosing the feeling it had, which i think I have managed to do. A nice change from the ink illustrations and not nearly half as intensive to work on.

Came back here after having stopped checking the blog for two years or so( I haven't exactly missed much, have I?). I hope everything is going okay. You're exactly the kind of illustrator I would love to see more in children's books. Blessings.

About

Welcome to A Doodle A Day! Feel free to have a good look around and leave me a comment if you like what you see, or even if you don't!
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.

If you would like to enquire about my work or commissioning me then please contact chas@doodleaday.co.uk
