      @WenSylvestre πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ yes I have desk...can’t remember what colour it is tho...πŸ˜€ Thanks for popping over to my Instagram too, and yes, loose is definitely the right word! I do love the highly rendered and detail pieces but I don’t think I’d have the patience to do them myself, I’ve done few fan art pieces in the past that took a long time and a lot of details and I had to rest for days afterwards πŸ˜€
      I’m not sure however if the β€œloose” style would do for children’s books so maybe I do need to sort myself out?

          @AnnaFleet I don't know for sure, but I think it will be no problem. Do you know the work of Helen Stephens? She is a published children's book illustrator and she has that looseness of inky lines too. You can find her on https://www.helenstephens.com/

                  Hi, Wen! Nice to meet you! I love your approach to controlled messes. I'm personally focusing on making more mess! (Because I'm naturally a control freak.) I looked at your Insta, you've got some great stuff on there. Can't wait to see what else you create!
