Sketchbook drawings and working ideas.
I'm not great at filling just one sketchbook so I tend to have several on the go at any given time. A while back I began keeping a photo journal of the background work behind my illustrations. Some of these ideas I pick up and develop, others just exist as pencil sketches and spontaneous thoughts.
When I started out I was a little too precious about beginning a new sketchbook and I discovered that it worked against me, now I use whatever paper is available at the time to work out an idea.
These are just a selection of pages from commerical and personal work.
