Bikes?

-
I've been illustrating an article for this magazine for the last 3 issues and have just started working on the next one. It's been a steep learning curve for me, having never drawn a motorbike in my life! This next one is to accompany an article about moving house so I don't need to draw yet another bike this time, I'm thinking more along the lines of a cat...and there might be cider involved (drawing it, not drinking it!) I shall say no more for now!


Here's one I did earlier!

Ah, you are braver than I. I try to avoid illustrating anything to do with transportation. Or complicated architecture...

Hey Jess, this is so cool! I can imagine the magazine is very interested in having your take on things since you do not have any experience with motor bikes! At least I would think that way.

These paintings are really great. It seems they think so, too, since they keep returning to you for me. I remember some of these others you have been working on - like the man holding the bike over his head.

Congratulations Jess!

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
