Owl Illustration Canvas Bag

Thought i would paint a canvas bag with one of my owl illustrations!
I can't paint and shade and do it perfectly for toffee, but i tried and enjoyed doing it!

I'd love to do more!

Owl Sketches

Today was really nice!
Out shopping, i came accross some owls which were in a shopping centre to help raise money etc, so i took this opportunity to get some photos and do some drawings!

I adore owls so much, i may even do a personal project based on them when i have a bit more free time!
They're veeery difficult creatures to draw, they're forever moving! haha

Current Works in Progress

Currently i'm working on two projects; Penguin book cover competition and Absurd narrative!

Here are some of my in progress images:

Some previous work...

I thought i would post a few bits and pieces of the work i've done over the past few months!

Hello!

Hello out there!
I'm Hannah Coote, a budding Illustrator and new to the blog scene!

I'm especially passionate about collage and mixed media - it can be time consuming and sometimes i try to do things differently, but i always somehow end up back to collage!

I'm in my second year studying Illustration at Hull and we're given a whole variety of briefs to cover; from live competitions to editorials and narratives. We're also given free reign on what we do and how we do things, everyone has their own style and it's inspiring!

Keep an eye out for my work..well that is once i've navigated myself around blogger haha...
