My sketchbooks tend to be filled with random pages of random stuff. One day, I’m sure they will all be very useful!

A super cute and easy way to draw a fancy lady in Procreate or with three marker pens.

(I’m using a dry ink brush here)

Happy Fishy Friday!

Here are some sweet mixed media drawings from my file. Working digitally is so handy but I still really love drawing with pencils, pens and ink.

Fish fans can pick up these guys as print over @roomfifty. Swipe to see the giclee print version.

As an adult, I tend to shy away from art competitions but not so for dorky Linzie junior.

I found this photo while clearing through some old art files. I believe this was the MightyWhite "Design a sandwich" drawing contest run by @primamag magazine. Or at least that's what the t-shirt says. I must have been about 12, I think.

The prize? A fancy all-expenses paid trip to either London or Orlando. Unfortunately, on receiving my prize-winners letter, I found out - rather disappointingly - that all the shortlisted winners had to travel to an airport hotel in London to compete for the main Florida prize. We didn’t even get to fly to Heathrow, it was train travel from Glasgow.

The largest part of the weekend trip was spent making my ill-advised tuna-based "McNesswich" Loch Ness monster sandwich (see photo). I don't even like tuna.

One girl made an ambitious Michael Jackson themed sandwich called the "Michael Jackson Thriller Filler". I guess the naming part of the contest was pretty important.

I didn't win: some kid with a chocolate and cheese sandwich-train combo got to go to Disneyworld. I was warmed though when one of the judges came over and told me they hated the kid, and hadn't wanted him to win. That did make me feel a lot better.

And I did get to visit that London for the first time.

Other prizes won:

Family Circle design a pizza contest. (Prize: Pizzaland party for twelve)

BP design a petrol station of the future. (Prize: Sony Walkman)

Easter bunnies!

This is a blue pencil sketch that I photographed and coloured lightly in @procreate.

Nothing says it’s holiday time like a dog in a speedboat on a bouncy ball.

I tested it and it is VERY bouncy.

Thanks so much to my friends at @djeco_toys. Swipe to see an early pencil sketch!

Some late night doodling. Pretty mindless, tbh. 😬😂

For @procreate fans, I’m using the derwent pencil brush. It’s not perfect, but one of the nicer sketching tools.
