I went up to Edinburgh last week, to entertain children and tell them about my books at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.

Unfortunately I caught a cold on the plane there and did not feel like drawing much all week. I did though – and here are the scrappy results. I’m feeling better now 🙂

Everyone asks about the tools I use when I’m out using my sketchbook. Here’s a video to show you what and how I use them.
