This picture does need some sorting out but I think it is a good basis to start from. I love drawing, painting/making seascapes and ones with mermaids in are exactly what my little girl wants 🙂

Drawn with a fine liner as a doodle in my sketch book – I want to make this landscape come alive so maybe fiddling around with it on the computer – I love the little creature and the loneliness of the landscape. I borrowed imagery from when I was geologying in Spain.

This is one of my fractal images from my Visual Poetry Journal – drawn in a moleskine notebook using fine liners.
This eye was part of the Three Types of Mourning picture I drew but I feel this came out the best.

This is done in fine liner in my sketch pad – I tried to convey a sense of the rocks making up a dynamic and harsh landscape but one that none the less lends itself to life. If you wish to see a bigger version of it just click on the picture.
Percy the Pebble is a character I made up before my little girl was even thought about 🙂
This is me brain storming for one of the stories I have written about him and his adventures – in this one he befriends a baby pebble who turns out to be seed!

My little girl loves space – as in astronomy/cosmos stuff so I am trying to design a sort of Kids Space for stories and the like 🙂 I think this is definatly one that is going in for post processes in the computer! If you want to see a bigger version just click on it!
I decided that the description of Therizinosaurs mouths and nose sounded similar to camels and I think this would go with the browsing behaviour they are thought to have had.
So I decided to draw the giant prehistoric camel from the kids how to draw book. I did the pencil construction lines and then inked in – I’m not actually happy with it but as it is only to get an idea of one part of the dino I want to draw I’m not going to re-do it and to be fair I did have a 4 yr old jumping on me :/
I chose to draw an archaeopteryx next as it has feathers on it would appear that Therizinosaurs had feathers! Again the outline came from the kids how to draw dinosaurs book. I did a pencil construction using all the simple geometric shapes, then inked in an outline discovering feathers are not a strong point! Then I filled it in with a downy fluff to see what it would look like!
I picked this dinosaur to draw from the How To Draw Dinosaurs book because was the closest in there to Therizinosaurs – obviously the rib cage flares out on Therizinosaurs and stuff like that but it is somewhere to start!
Plus I’ve drawn the grand total of two dinosaurs before this both from the book! I initially bought it for my brother!
Anyway I used the construction lines in the book – got the head circle in the wrong place initially and everything and then inked in the outline. I bogged the tail and so put ornamentation on to hide it and the fact the head had gone wonky! I have no idea what sort of skin/feather/downy fur thesse creatures might have had but I like the patterning and little frill I’ve given my Struthiomimus!
