I want to create miniature worlds in my pictures, to get lost in, to explore, to find hidden things and to find new ways of finding hidden things. And if sometimes creativity needs to verge on ridiculousness, so be it.

And I still really need those new brushes. Could just be that I’m out of practice, though.

what materials do you use to create your work? or do you use a graphics tablet to draw?

I use ink fine liners and brush pens to draw, then I scan the image in and add colour in photoshop using a tablet. It helps to first create a pencil sketch before inking, once the inking is finished I can then rub out the pencil sketch.

There are some great tutorials on youtube that explain how to add colour underneath traditional lines if you are interested, learning this technique has really helped me out. I find it difficult to make lines go where I want when using a tablet!
