Just finished a new spring themed drawing for the front page of my portfolio site. I’ve been battling with that bike for about 2 days, bikes are bloody hard to draw (like horses). The bike is pretty obviously inspired by my (black) Pashley Princess, which they’ve cruelly now released in red. So pretty!
Sketches ^ I did this digitally from start to finish, trying to work out a totally digital workflow which still looks as “me” as paper drawing. I really like digital drawing, because I’m always changing my mind about things half way through. It’s nice having things on different layers and all the colours easy to tweak.
lovely :)

This drawing is amazing. I wish it was so warm here in Estonia that I could ride my beautiful cruiser.
+ your portfolio is so pretty :)

So nice + you’ve really seemed to nail getting digital workflow to still look like your work. Hooray!

It doesn’t look like you struggled on the bike at all (; It’s lovely.

Hi, I would love to know more about how you draw digitally. Do you use Photoshop or Illustrator? I always wondered how to do this, but never actually tried… I only discovered your blog a few days ago and I really love it, and your drawings. :)

I love seeing the sketches and process behind your work. Your style is pretty unmistakable, and I think you translated it to digital so well.

I love this, it’s fantastic. Bikes are really hard to draw, but it doesn’t look like you had difficulty at all!
I think your work translates brilliantly, this one in particular is lovely.
Do you think you’ll still do ‘by hand’ drawings/paintings? As much as I love these, I still love looking at your sketchbooks, as nosy as I am :)

Love your colours!
