Wallpaper – a poetical sketchnote
Having never done it before I decided to try sketchnoting one of my poems, I wasn’t sure how to go about it to start with so, I’ll be completely honest, I just sort of winged it. But I’m really enjoying the process and it’s an interesting way to see these two things coming together.
Cheers folks,

Ballad of Barry & Freda – Sketchnote
So I’ve been asked to do ‘The Ballad of Barry & Freda’ by the wonderful Victoria Wood.
Using the same of comic book/pop art style I used for my ‘Little Bo Peep’ illustration.
Started this yesterday with some pencil placeholders of the requested lyrics and moments from the song, and then filling in some pencil scribbles whilst listening to the song.
I’m not revisiting it with my lovely new Tombow pens.
Here’s the final print

Alphabet people : Sketchnoting #3
Christmas songs
I challenge myself to see how far through the alphabet I can get using words and a character of some description:
- Within a certain time
- Before I get stumped
- Until I get to the end of the alphabet
As it’s now December, I thought it would be apt…
Only got to the letter ‘N’ this time, I think my particular fave is the Little Donkey.
This time I didn’t ghost any of the images, letters or spaces, just took pen to paper to see how far I could get.

Disney
I managed to get to the letter P before I ran out of time.
I ghosted the boxes and letters in pencil but took the challenge of thinking of the titles and the images rather than just illustrating the titles.
Was fun, enjoy 🙂
