People ask me if I draw these in pencil first... nope! I like to draw in black pen. If I go wrong I start again or let the drawing develop and try to resolve any composition as I go along. This really comes from when I studied at art college and my tutors used to comment that my sketchbooks were always more interesting than my final designs! So now I use the drawings straight from my sketchbook and enjoy taking the risks with the pen. From here I scan my drawings and they are developed into a print.
