Draw North West

Recently I've been getting to know the Draw North West group. I've met illustrators such as Emma Reynolds, Alan Dalby and Matt Bray (who designed the poster below). That's just to name a few. It's a great meet up and chance to talk to like minded people and experienced professionals. From those who I spoke to in November they gave me advice such as, expanding my vocab (image making can be language in itself you see), be pragmatic, always start drawing with the shape first, the rest will follow (as I say, see the gestalt) and my favourite tip... draw everyday! With a pen! No matter what! Next time I go I'll get photos, it will have to be in the new year now.
