Drawing Roley

Roley 'emerges' from behind the tree!
A new version of 'Roley Moley's Christmas' will be published soon and as my previous blog on illustrating 'Roley Moley Goes in Search of the Moon' was so popular I thought I would share a few images of Roley coming to 'life'!

After doing some rough sketches I will come up with a picture I am happy with and start to do a proper drawing. This image shows the pencil outline and where I have started to ink in Roley.

Picture
Here is the picture now I have
penned the outlines and rubbed out the pencil.

Picture
Now I have started to colour and add
light and shade to the picture - oh and this is where I try to avoid dipping my paintbrush in the big mug of tea I always have at my side!

Picture
Here is the picture well on the way to  being finished. Many times things go wrong though and I am not happy with the picture and have to start all over again!

This illustration shows Roley looking up as someone very special comes into the room. 
I wonder who it could be? If you would like to find out click on the picture to get a
link to the current ebook.
But don't forget to look out for the new version this Christmas.

Great to see some more of your illustration work.
I am looking forward to seeing the new version of the book for Christmas. Is there going to be any hard copies to buy any time soon?

Yes - hoping to get Roley Moley's Christmas printed in hardback for this Christmas - so as they say watch this space!
