I thought I'd try to take part in Illo Advent again this year, but as December can get pretty hectic, I decided I'd do a mix of new pieces and existing ones. I started off with 12 quick sketch illustrations for The Twelve Days of Christmas. In general, I managed to keep these down to about half an hour each, so the quality starts to drop off the more people I have to fit in. In an ideal world I would have had more time to work on the more extensive ones, but as it was I think it was good practice at keeping things speedy:
On the first Day of Christmas my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.
On the second Day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the third Day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Three french hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fourth Day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Four colly birds
Three french hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the fifth Day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Five gold rings
Four colly birds
Three french hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
On the sixth Day of Christmas my true love sent to me
Six geese a-laying
Five gold rings
Four colly birds
Three french hens
Two turtledoves
And a partridge in a pear tree.
See the rest under the cut:
