1) I was asked to draw some children for a Christmas present which obviously I can't post here and
2) I was working on this year's Christmas card.
I always design my own card. Some work better than others but it's a good challenge to produce something suitable each year. The cards were originally done for our business which was sold nearly 3 years ago and always feature one or more of my pets.
I did some preliminary sketches of ideas;
I was inspired by my dog Henry playing in the snow. I've tried to photograph him in action before but my photographic skills aren't up to catching him so I did lots of drawings from memory
and selected the ones I thought worked;
I liked the idea of multiple poses in the snow but this looked a bit random so I had him prancing around a snowman
It still looks like lots of dogs and our printer insists on leaving a rather unattractive margin so I went back to basics
and ended up with one Henry and a tree.....
It now looks to me that he may have just pee'd on the tree before dashing off but hey
Happy Christmas!
