The creative process
Here's a little insight into the creation process of my latest illustration....First, is the drawn picture, some background colour and a little colour added to the main design.
Next step is to add a bit of shading and to continue the colour, with a little bit of shading to the picture.Now I concentrate on all the shading, so detail like the holly leaves and wellie boots are standing out from the page.
And finally, it's the little bits like the fluffy fur on the clothing, lettering and snowflakes to do!

Is this in watercolour or pencil? I always like the subtle effects you get in your pictures.
Interesting to see how you work. Not so different from the way I work digitally... I just don't have to wait for the paint to dry. LOL Cute picture! xo
Thanks Caroline, it's watercolour, gouache and pencil!! H x
Thanks Sybille... the option of not waiting for paint to dry is sometimes very tempting!! H x

Thank you Penny! Helz x
I really love how the polka dots of the scarves and boots (and heart!) echo the round snowballs.
Very sweet! :-)
Thank you! H x
