Most of you probably won't remember the 'Sunny' photo of my fat cat Babycheeks, but I decided to delete it, I was feeling guilty about uploading it to my account as it was taken by my fiance Doug So, if you faved it here, pretty please re-fave it, if it's not too much of a hassle: [link] I'm trying to encourage him to post more of his photos and I could use a hand














This is long overdue, because I keep getting asked the same questions and I think answering them here would be much more helpful to you.

What sort of tools do you use for drawing?
I use a bunch of pencils with the circumference of a sequoia. But I buy more than I need, the point is I use from 2B to 8B. Plus mechanical pencils for the precise bits such as eyes, teeth etc. and the much loathed hair. On A4 extra smooth Bristol paper.

How do you shade/blend?
I use blending stumps a lot, fingers, tissue and cotton buds.
I do it progressively, in layers, I start with subtle shading with a 2B then I work my way to a darker shade.

Do you accept commissions?
Certainly. Please check my shop [link] for details or send a note.
