It’s just about summer, so it’s time to draw Christmas illustrations! I’ve been working on some line drawings for a Christmas-themed activity book for Educate.ie, an Irish educational publisher. It may seem odd to draw Christmas pictures this time of year, but if you want everything ready in time for the Christmas season, you have to get things done way ahead of time.
Here are a couple of things I just finished.
My youngest made this in school. I love it! Look at that expressive face!
I took this picture the other day. I really need to remember to use a tripod with my big zoom lens. I took tons of shots, but every one had a bit of motion blur in it. This was the best of the lot. The robin hopped up pretty close to me.

This is the strangest thing I’ve ever been asked to illustrate. But it was lots of fun.

Actually… this might be even stranger. But I’m not sure. What’s weirder? Ninja Nailclippers or the B.S. Fairy?
Either way, I think it’s official. If I can draw ninja nailclippers, I can draw anything.
Just a sketchy thing.
