Maybe I should just specialise in drawing mugs… Mugs of Lemsip (blackcurrant, because the lemon version is just not right and the blackcurrant reminds me of mugs of hot Ribena when I was kid). Mugs of tea. Mugs of coffee. Mugs of hot chocolate. Mugs of herbal tea… I don’t have a mug that looks like this one, but it’s kind of nice. I will literally SQUEE!! if I get a list of spot illustrations to draw that includes a mug or cup of something. I have sketchbooks full of pages of painted mugs and dippen mugs and Posca pen mugs. I wonder if there is a niche market for mug illustrations?
Anyway, I’m a little under the weather (what a weird idiom!), and feel like I could probably sleep for the whole weekend. I do have some plans – coffee with friends and then a cinema Taylor Swift concert with one daughter – so will see if a very hot shower, and possibly a blackcurrant Lemsip Max, will give me the energy to do those.
Total 30 minutes, not sure what the drawing–writing split was
Mostly OK now, thank you. Just a bit sniffly and more tired than usual.
Hmmm.... I will think about the mug niche idea.
Tasha, I hope you feel better quickly :) Everyone loves mug illustrations so yes to the niche market!
