My Instagram feed features a sketch a day and work in progress.

For a very long time I remember school bags covered in badges, and there would be swaps sessions in between classes. My German teacher was very sweet and I’m sure I passed my German oral exam because she taught me how to say ‘Ich sammle Abzeichen’ I’m sure I’ve missed off a few that might have had in a collection

Still mixing up watercolors and #procreateapp .

21/100 My dad had a fair bit of patience with two teenage girls, however he would come down hard when he saw old fashioned itemised phone bills. There was no texting or group chats in the mid 80’s, unless you had several phones in the house, and so did the other person. Hand on my heart my sister spent more time on the phone than me because hung out with the pretty in pink set 😆 .

20/100 I had soooo many cassette tapes, all of which were pirated versions recorded off friends who had had the real thing. In those days you took in a blank tape to school and a few days later you get it back with a half decent version you could play at home. Friendships were forged around this ritual and its one of my fondest memories.

As I explore mixing up watercolors and #procreateapp it got pretty complex today when exporting in importing between my iPad Pro and Mac. Big thanks to @nicsquirrell for her help today

19/100 My Dad bought a second hand polaroid camera off his friend. My sister and I were always gobsmacked the image would appear if by magic, even though they weren’t always the best photos. Usually it was of myself and my cousins hanging upside down from trees or posing on our bikes. Eventually he stopped using it as it was pretty expensive to buy the instant film packs and bought a Pentax SLR instead.

18/100 Its time to move on with #100illustrationFirsts - a phase of retro items well remembered my childhood coming over the next week. .
.
Oh how I wanted roller skates, with the rainbow stripes, but my parents in their wisdom knew it would be a passing phase. I remember being pretty disappointed as a 9 year old. But the memories that come through now, with the benefit of hindsight are the times that my school friends LENT me their skates. So although I never owned a pair, I still have memories of whizzing across tennis courts in them. Sarah, Rosalind & Emma were very kind indeed: where ever you are I thank you for the thrill in my little heart.

17/100 Heres’s he other superfood breakfast for @theydrawandcook
.
There was a time when I felt I ‘didn’t have time’ to eat right, sleep right, or exercise (like at all) I used to run around like a blue a*** fly trying to fit in as many things into my day as I could (and long into the night too) I realise now it’s not the most effect way to look after my health, both physically and mentally, as it caused a lot of excessive anxiety. I am slowing losing my winter fat through intermittent fasting and averaging 20k runs every week. Changing my mindset towards my health is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself.

16/100 This was part of the illustration for the second entry for @theydrawandcook superfoods challenge. My idea was a overhead shot of a breakfast table if you were having a supercharged superfood breakfast. Somebody mentioned my linework was getting better - which I’m pleased to hear as I don’t consider myself the best at drawing (it’s true- there are many more talented artists out there) .

This is the other half of the layout (see previous post) I submitted to @theydrawandcook for their superfood Hand Picked challenge. I’m often very fastidious with positioning and will faff for an extra hour at the end. After I uploaded I realised a hadn’t added a hint of a shadow under the sliced eggs which would have helped with contrast - but I’m letting it go this time. .

14/100 I’ve skipped a day but I am working behind the scenes and will post more I’m submitting to @theydrawandcook Hand Picked Contest. These formed half of a spread I created - Superfoods on Toast. I’m really proud of these. Working on this project really lifted me out of a creative slump and made me realise why I want to keep on illustrating food. .

11/100 Yay just submitted my first recipe to @theydrawandcook Hand Picked superfoods contest (scroll to see one of close up illos - will post more tomorrow) These are mixture of watercolour, vector line imported to PS and PS. .
. .
. Legumes, pulses,beans (including soy), lentils, peas, peanuts and alfalfa earn the superfood label because they’re loaded with nutrients and play a role in preventing and managing various diseases. Legumes are a rich source of B vitamins, various minerals, protein and fiber.
Eating beans and legumes regularly may also promote healthy weight maintenance, due to their ability to improve feelings of fullness !!! .

I spent last night researching and scrapping over a dozen recipe ideas and layouts for @theydrawandcook Superfoods hand picked challenge. Apparently I’m on my 75th illustrated recipe. That’s a lot of different ways of communicating the vibe of the foods I’m illustrating. I pretty much fall in love with every new illustrated recipe when I put it out in the world and hopes it brings me luck .

Green tea is loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body. These include improved brain function, fat loss, a lower risk of cancer and many other impressive benefits.Not only is it calorie-free, but green tea is also an outstanding source of antioxidants and has been shown to help prevent and fight cancer. .

10/ 100 I’m really enjoying patching these images together with the linework, watercolour and PS elements. I have had some folks wonder why I don’t stick to the one medium - honest answer is I’d get bored. But I overall think I gives more value to art directors knowing I can handle digital and hand rendered .

Eggs are among the most nutritious foods you can find, providing virtually all the vitamins and minerals you need. They are cheap, taste awesome, can be cooked in a variety of ways and go with almost any food. They also contain unique antioxidants and powerful brain nutrients. They really are an exceptional superfood. How do you like to eat yours? .

9/100 I have always found leafy vegetables tricky to draw and illustrate because there needs to be so much contrast for things like bunched spinach. But they are in demand so I aim to improve my skills with more practice. My favourite way to cook kale is to blanch it for a few minutes then toss it in a pan with butter and garlic. How do you like to cook greens ?
.

Dark green leafy vegetables are an excellent source of nutrients including zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin C and fiber. They have the potential to reduce your risk of chronic illnesses including heart disease and type 2 diabetes
