Snail Story

My friend Ingrid is having one of her stories published after winning a competition. And she's asked me to do the front cover illustration. I'm a bit scared because... well I still lack self confidence in what I do and for this reason I tend to try and make my work more like someone else's. This never works, it always looks bad and feels false. Recently I went through all my work from this year and tried to find the most spontaneous sketches, the work that really reflected me and my personality. In this entry I'm including another drawing from the house portrait series. I did these drawing using watercolour, it was a total experiment as I'd never really used water colour before then. I think these drawings are really honest and that's why I like them.
