Growing as an Illustrator and Frogs

-
I love to read about illustration and come across very useful tips from time to time. This particular list (below) I copied from the book by Michael Fleishman and pasted in in my sketchbook as a good reminder to myself to keep things moving. I'm very adept at procrastinating! Words by Michael Fleishman...frogs by me! :)

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.
