Cutting Book [Pages 2-8]

Another book I started a while ago, this one is for my cutting samples, ie things I've cut using my  KNK Zing Air cutting machine. I've used painted, stamped etc papers for the background.

The following were samples for some little pictures I made for Christmas presents last year  oops 2016, doesn't time fly? See here for the finished pictures. I used different colours to these below.

And a Christmassy page. 

The tree with text is not my design and the dragons are clip art. 

Cats on Tour

Altered photographs. I drew the cats on my tablet and combined them with my photos.

This cat is at Beamish Museum, County Durham, England

No I've not got a collection of skulls, these three are at the Harry Potter studio, London

 Two of them are getting around, they are now in Berlin.

Happy Paint Party Friday

Pretty Patterns

I did the single circular pattern on my tablet and uploaded it to the computer, I've no idea why part of it was missing, I can't remember whether I did it off centre on purpose.

I layered the pattern in Photoshop, this one is not a repeating pattern.

I drew the single pattern on the tablet. The corner bits were added on the computer with Photoshop. Then the design was made into a repeating pattern.

More Android Tablet Art

Scary lady. I put a new face on a vintage image.

Dragon with Sheep

Altered photo. 

The sheep were seen at the Rising Sun Country Park, Newcastle.

I saw the dragon holding a sign in Lucerne, Switzerland and borrowed it to keep the sheep company..

Android Tablet Drawings

Snail House and Postcards

All digitally created. 

The snail and patterns on the postcards were created on my android tablet.

The postcards were put together on the computer. The butterflies are from the vintage Naturalist Library book.

I'm joining in with Paint Party Friday, see here for more details.

Bright Pattern

The first one was drawn on my tablet and then I made a repeating pattern on the computer.

Development of a sketchbook page

I started out with lines and blocks of colour

I drew circles in some of the boxes but didn't wait for the paint to dry, so it ran.

I used various pens to draw patterns on top, they don't show up very well.

I liked the page after I'd filled in the squares before adding the circles, but after that it just went downhill. You can't win them all.

Explosion of Colour

Two tablet doodles, the black was a pattern for my cutting machine.

Breaking in a Sketchbook

The first page of a sketchbook that I started earlier this year. This is quite a large book, about A3 size.

I used watercolours for this and just made it up as I went along. 

A Day at the Beach and Tile Pattern

The photograph was taken in Cannes. I used my tablet to paint the figure.

I painted four square patterns on my tablet using the same colours on each then transferred them to my computer and joined them together to make one repeating pattern. It didn't look that great with the colours I first used but I changed them and I think it has made all the difference.

Dog in a Bluebell Wood

The dog was created on my tablet and the photo was taken in a nearby wood.

Sketchbook 60, Pages 4-8

Animals of the Ocean and Animals of the Land

I revamped an old drawing from one of my sketchbooks for the next Spoonflower challenge.

I started the design below for the last Spoonflower contest, Animals of the land but I didn't finish it time.

Both are late for Paint Party Friday !
