A character sketch for a story I’m working on. Dipping in and out of lots of different picturebook ideas. Settle down!

Herman always liked the *idea* of a dog
… and he finally had one called Shroedinger. The best thing was, it was a great friend but it never ate anything or left a mess, and because it was only the idea of a dog, he could just walk it across the open fields of his mind, sometimes without even getting out of bed.
Tentacular!
Are owls and octopi ever friends? I found this squid on my wardrobe. Got into a tangle tying a tie.
Me and my moon
… And once you had the moon, how would you put it back? Another sketch.
Catch the moon
More on the moon theme… perhaps I’m obsessed! This is and early sketch for a picture book in progress. Had fun playing with the extreme scales and the idea of taking the dog for a walk. If it only needed a piece of string…
From here, I can see everything…!
My name’s Earnest and now that I’m five I can stand on the moon and count the stars. Want to help?
Hi there, pull up a pencil and join the dots with me.
Hello. This is my blog, dedicated to my children’s writings and doodlings. I’ve not been doing this for long but, thanks to having two small kids, and to the Arvon Foundation, I’ve discovered a whole brilliant new world of picture books for children.
If you like what you see, (or don’t), or want to join in, feel free to write something back on the comments.
If you want to see more, let me know.
Happy doodling!
