'Warming Up' Finished

Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art

Warming Up Watercolour & Gouache 51 x 39cm After a break from painting to work on other jobs, I have finally finished Mr Badger's kitchen. I'm very pleased with the final result but it does feel like I took longer on it than I should have. A possible reason for the drawn out painting process could be I decided to have red and black tiles, and a complicated Persian rug on the kitchen floor.

Illustrating Autumn Faries with The Big Draw & The RSC

Emmeline Illustration

Every so often, I'll stop for a second and be hit with the realisation that I haven't drawn anything in ages. It can be surprising how little physical drawing time can go in to running an illustration business sometimes! Yesterday was one of those days, and I fancied a little bit of a warm up before delving in to some serious work. You may have seen The Big Draw floating around on social media or the news recently - they're, very basically, a huge campaign to get people drawing.

Learn from Great Design: Captain Train

Tom Kenny

Buying train tickets is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. It could be a good experience with one particular train company or a terrible one with a different operator in the same country. Then it all changes again when you visit another part of the world and you won’t know what you’ll get there either. Captain train gives you the opportunity to book train tickets with several European train companies without having to deal with them individually.

Instant Gratification

Fifi Lapin

I have always been a fan of old school photography. You know the sort; the one that involves taking a leap and committing to pressing the shutter button and seeing what fate has dealt you instead of composing 100 shots on your phone and picking the best. Some don't always work out but the ones that do seem to be more special somehow. Perhaps it's because you have the actual photographs in your paws to show friends or put on your noticeboard?

'Barging Through' Rough Drawing

Chris Dunn Illustration/Fine Art

'Mason's Joy' is causing a lot of disharmony on the canal. This will be the final painting in my series of animal characters influenced by 'The Wind In The Willows'. The setting is based on Horton bridge, on the Kennett And Avon canal near Devizes. In order to get the appropriate photographic reference, I took a very nice five minute drive, with my son Arthur, down to the bridge.

Emmeline Illustration

Today marks the start of Inktober, a daily ink illustration challenge running throughout October each year.
