Today I want to inaugurate a new category on the blog to show you the sketches I make to seek inspiration or just to wring my hand before start an illustration. 

I share them every day (or almost!) on Instagram, but I thought it would be nice to show them also to those who do not use this application.

I did several layout tests with a tiger. The one on the right was my Instagram followers favorite, so I think to make an illustration with it.

To work more patterns I participate in the weekly challenge of Spoonflower. I opened a shop on this site and you can order fabrics, wallpaper and gift wrap. The first pattern is on Halloween and you can vote for me here.

I drew a few monsters. Maybe I will make an activity book for kids. 

Here is a preview of a colorised version.

Fruits and vegetables to keep the doctor away. 😉

Here is the sketch of the illustration you can see here.

I made a sketch to say welcome at baby Frida.

See you soon!
