Step into Christmas

Sorry but I seem to have that song stuck in play in my head! 

Anyway, I've been busy finishing private commissions in time for Christmas - which I won't post up until after the season.  

Meanwhile I've been writing my Christmas cards and doodling on a lot of envelopes and also trying to participate in #illo_advent every day. I haven't quite managed that but here are some I've done in my sketchbook:

Thank you for reading my blog and, if I don't post again before Christmas, I wish you a joyous Christmas time.

Foxes and brush pens

I've been experimenting a bit more with my brush pen and I like the looseness it gives. Also it is permanent ink so I can paint over it too.

Here's some work from my sketchbook and other work:

I'm working on making this a more finished piece.
