Today I’ve been at the children’s book festival – the great malarkey – in Hull which is on the East Coast of England. I’m the illustrator in Residence all week and will be filling my sketchbook up – have a look to see what I did today.
How to draw an evil lizard
This is an illustration of an Evil Lizard drawn with pen and ink and a single colour grey watercolour wash to add tone. A great style for black and white illustrated books.

This video is inspired by my Scaredy Cats story video – The Killer Catflap – you can see the video here

After last week’s Scaredy Cats story video – The Killer Catflap – I thought I’d draw an evil cockroach this week. see the video here
It’s different to the way I drew the roaches in the book and video, mainly because I’ve been a bit more attentive to the true shape and design of a cockroach. Not too attentive though! This is really about characterisation – turning an animal or inanimate object into a humanised character
