Just having a quick sketch and play with some Tombow markers. They are a great way to get values down quickly. I may do a demo with them. Happy Sunday.

Hi Everyone!

-- Exciting Channel Updates! --

For those of you with sharp eyes, you might notice I’ve updated my channel logo! Gone is the picture of my face (I was a bit tired of looking at it myself!), and in its place is my art signature. I find it more joyful, personal, and fitting for the channel's vibe!

I’ve also reorganized my channel’s homepage a bit to make it easier for newcomers to navigate and find the key topics.


**BIG NEWS**: **NEW MEMBERSHIPS ARE HERE!**

You might already know that I’ve been sharing full-length videos and exclusive content on my Patreon. Well, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m launching a members section *right here on YouTube*! šŸŽ‰


**What’s in it for members?**
1. Exclusive content
2. Full-length versions of my regular YouTube videos
3. In-depth videos diving even deeper into creative topics

This members section will continue to grow over time, but rest assured—I’ll still be posting my usual free content regularly! Think of this as an additional way to access even more of what you love, much like my Patreon.

I’m so incredibly grateful for all my subscribers and Patreon supporters. It’s amazing to see this channel grow and to be part of such a wonderful, supportive community of creative folks.

Thanks so much for being here—you’re the best! ā¤ļø

Morning all. Just a reminder that all my boatober original drawings (5x7 inch) are for sale *** (ONLY £20) ***to raise money from Cancer Research UK @cr_uk . See my shop link in my profile. Thanks. This is definitely my favourite so far. It's got a vintage feel to it that feels most appropriate for the paddle steamer Waverly.
