I'm trying to finish up my moleskine so I can start my new one! Only a couple of pages to go. Another little drawing. A view from my room. :) . . . . #melodica #melpearce #sketch #sketchbook #moleskine #ballpointpen #watercolour #prismacolorpencils

Just playing around with watercolour mess and a masking fluid pen I bought. I gotta remember to make sure it's applied thick enough otherwise the colour leaks through.. ah well. It was fun to play. :) . . . . #melodica #watercolour #maskingfluid #moleskine #diary #sketchbook #sketch #colourful #colour #color #colorful #bright

FLASHBACK FRIDAY! Didn't get anything done today as I've been sick at home with a flu/sinusy thing. I have the absolute worst headache today ... Didn't do anything apart from sleep and play Skyrim in the afternoon. -_- So enjoy this red man. Done at Art school 10 years ago, acrylic paint and solvent transfer on MDF board :) . . . . #melodica #melpearce #redman #mdf #solventtransfer #howlonghaveyoubeenaredman #old

Another Mack! Started this at the beginning of June, thought I'd better finish it off. :D . . . . #melodica #melpearce #sketchbook #sketch #moleskine #prismacolor #prismacolorpencils #mack #color #colorfull #colourful

Mum had the niblings to look after on Monday and she took a really gorgeous photo of my niece, so I thought I'd try out my pencils and do some drawing-from-photo . I haven't done this type of drawing for years, so it gave me a bit of hope! It helps when mumma is a good photo-taker and my sis @miss_haymaiden makes some good-lookin babies.

I was blessed to be selected to have my work critiqued (anonymously) at the recent @scbwi_west First Page First Look event. It was so wonderful to find out that I'm headed in the right direction! Here's what I submitted. . Thanks so much once again to the three publishers who provided priceless feedback on my work. :) . . . . #melodica #scbwiwest #firstpagefirstlook #pencil #sisters #drawing #ink #wall #mess #siblingrivalry

In my second year of art school, I made up these weird characters called Moon Heads. My family thought they were weird and creepy and I stopped drawing them. Fast forward a decade and my family tells me they like them and they would be good for a book. ... Ah well. Better late than never, I guess! . . . #melodica #pen #watercolour #moleskine #sketchbook #moonheads #moon #revival

@cindylaneart let me play with her beautiful honey-based watercolour paints and graphite... Having an amazing time at the SCBWI West Rotto Retreat. :) So blessed to be a part of this crazy wonderful family. . . . #melodica #cindylaneart #scbwiwestrotto2018 #scbwiwest #rottnest #rotto #watercolour #graphite

In April we visited my bro in Japan, and we along with some dear friends went to a fox village in Miyagi prefecture. The sketches aren't as good as I would've liked them to be because the foxes were either sleeping or running around (and yes, they do make all those noises.. Ylvis was right!). But they were gorgeous. Oh, and if you're good you can see a picture of a fox nibbling my knee.

More pretty things. Did I mention I love my new pencils?! . . . #melodica #prismacolor #coloredpencil #moleskine #prettycolors

It's good to just play around with things sometimes. I think I often get so caught up in trying to compose a final thing right from the beginning that I lose my spontaneity. Having a thinky night. . . . #melodica #prismacolor #watercolour #moleskine #prettycolors
