  1. Hi Mary,

    What were you doing posting this at 1.00am, if Swillustrators blog can be believed?

    Whatismore, why am I up now, nearly an hour later...and I've still to clean the fridge post-defrosting!

    Well done! Delightful girl as always: Illustration - not you!

  7. I like it so much. Please, tell me: you´ve used pencil lines and digital shadows, I presume, but the backgroung, is it digital too over the paper texture?

  8. Hi Tomas - yes, I've used a mixture of pencil lines and digital colour and shadows, but the background is done using scanned-in pieces of my watercolour washes, (I've made a little collection of different coloured washes on various papers to choose from) which I then layer and adjust in photoshop until I get the right colour and texture!
    (Sorry, you asked me that before on another post didn't you? And I forgot to answer -apologies!)
