Virtual Scribing - with an iPad and Zoom

So - virtual scribing from home this week (and probably for the foreseeable future!)

I'm on a steep virtual learning curve this week. Today I was working for Future Water Association's Water Dragons - A Dragon's Den for the world of water:


Here are all of the pitches together and then one by one. These were done on an iPad using 'ProCreate' software, and shared via Zoom.

Collage of all the images together:


And all the images individually:

Live drawing for 'Booktrust'


As a bookworm I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to work for the charity 'Booktrust': a national charity that aims to get children reading.

The project is called 'My Dream Reading Adventure' and primary school children were asked to come up with ideas on this theme. These images were drawn while the children were digging deeper into their selection of ideas and I coloured them in digitally afterwards.





The children were fully of energy, enthusiasm and ideas: oh to be 8 again!

Thanks to Booktrust for asking me to get involved, here is a link in case you want further information about the charity:

London Fire Brigade 2020


Phew, it's already March, but back in January I was really delighted to work for the London Fire Brigade as my first job of 2020.

As I'd not worked for LBF before, we worked out a plan of the image together. This is a fruitful way of working, as with co-creation the end result can be more useful post-event. The client said the puzzle symbolism would work well with the story of their future development so I sketched out a basic plan, including the high level themes the group would explore:


And this plan is reflected in the final image:
