Stowaway Frogs and Practising Detail Drawing

I've always been slightly obsessed with frogs and here on the canal, I get to hang out with these little guys all through the spring and summer. Sometimes they get a little too close for comfort and hop aboard my boat! So, this week I decided to create a cute frog illustration in fine liner pens.

Another beautiful illustration! Is your inking style self-taught? Or do you get inspiration from other artists? (And if so, who are your favorites?)

Thank you! I'm pretty much totally self taught. I used to draw constantly as a child and teen, but got a little rusty over the last few years. My first influence was probably Beatrix Potter, more recent illustrators I absolutely love are Julia Jeffrey and Adam Oehlers
