I wanted to add another map to my portfolio last year to go with my Gloucestershire map, so over the summer I illustrated this Map of Cornwall. I went to university in Falmouth in Cornwall so the county is very close to my heart and this turned out to be quite a personal piece with a few of my favourite places and Cornish things (cream teas!) added to the map. I'm hoping to get an online shop up and running soon, so hopefully I will have prints available of both Gloucestershire and Cornwall! </div>

Last November I worked with the U.S. Educational publisher Seed Learning to illustrate a picture book version of Swan Lake for early readers. Last week I received an exciting parcel in the post with two copies of the book all the way from Korea! It was a really fun project to work on and made me face my fear of illustrating human characters! </div>

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook you will have seen that I recently took part in Cheltenham Open Studios 2015, a biyearly event, where nearly 200 artists across Cheltenham open up their homes and studios to the public. <br />
<br />
My studio space at <a href="http://deepspaceworks.co.uk/" target="_blank">deepspaceworks</a> Art Centre in Cheltenham is home to 15 other artists and creatives and, alongside the studios being opened up to the public, we had an exciting and diverse exhibition running alongside it including work from studio members and associates. <br />

As part of the Cirencester Hare Festival 2015 I was asked to decorate a small hare this year! The hare is one of 50 as part of the Small Hare Passport Trail. The hares can be found all over Cirencester and this little one is located at Cirencester Hospital. There are 6 small hares to see up at the hospital; each one decorated by a different department. I decorated the admininstration team's hare. </div>

A bit late, but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!<br />
<br />
I was a very busy bee at the end of 2014 working on a couple of exciting commissions, which I can hopefully share soon. In the meantime, here is a christmas illustration I did for my cousin's baby boy who lives over in New York!<br />

This is an illustration I did for my cousin's beautiful baby boy Jackson Roy. I worked on it this time last year just in time for his christening. I believe it is now hanging in the nursery in the "family gallery" where my uncle has also got some work exhibited!!

I've got a very exciting delivery in the post this week! Earlier in the
year I worked on a fun commission for the US children's magazine High
Five and illustrated the front cover of their November issue. The brief involved bears, autumn, knitting and jumpers...some of my favourite things! It was a lovely brief to work on and it's an amazing feeling to think my artwork is all over the US at the moment! My cousin, who lives in New York, went on a hunt for a copy and bought hers in Barnes & Noble New York! Yay! Please let me know if you live in the US and see the magazine...it's out now! <br />

Hello, long time no blog! Can't believe I haven't posted since April 2013, time has just flown by! I'm still here though and still working away in my studio here in Cheltenham. I've worked on a couple of commissions outside of my day job, the most recent being the cover art for a US children's magazine called High Five. It's the November issue which is out now!! I haven't seen a physical copy yet, but my lovely cousin who lives in New York has taken some pictures of it for me in Barnes and Noble! I'm pretty excited to think that my illustration is currently all over America and as soon as I get a physical copy I will definitely be sharing the artwork here alongside some photographs. Here is a photo she sent me...exciting stuff!:<br />
<br />

<br />
My most recent piece is Mr Beaver above who is off on some kind of walking adventure! I'm not exactly sure where he's going yet, but we will see!<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you are in the US and see a copy of High Five, it would make my day!

Hey everyone! Just a couple more quick illustrations of some pups sporting some very fetching jumpers. I'm trying to get some new work done at the moment ready for an exhibition I have coming up next month. The show is taking place at the Gardens Gallery in Cheltenham and will have work by me and a few other very talented ladies! I'll post all the details in the next week or so if you are interested. <br />

Hello everyone and Happy Sunday! Just a bit of fun with these two illustrations, if you follow me on Twitter you may have already seen a glimpse of them! They were inspired by an old knitting pattern for doggy jumpers my Gran found in a charity shop. There are three more I've still got to paint and I'll post a pic of the knitting pattern with the rest of them because it's so funny! Hope you like them. You can follow me on Twitter here... <a href="https://twitter.com/Lucy_Boden" target="_blank">Lucy_Boden</a> :-)<br />

Happy Easter to everyone! Hope you are all having a lovely, relaxing weekend and enjoying your chocolate eggs! <br />
<br />
I'm afraid I don't have an Easter illustration to share with you, but instead here is a little character study I've been working on recently. One of my NY resolutions this year was to become more confident with drawing and painting children/people characters and this is my first attempt. I want to move on to doing characters more suited to picture books, but I figure this is a good start!<br />

Please follow the link to take a look at my painting process...<br />

I thought it would be nice to show a glimpse into my painting process for this illustration. These are just a few quick snaps, but I will definitely be doing a more in depth post about my process soon. I love reading these kind of posts on other blogs and seeing how illustrators/artists create their work.<br />
<br />
I paint in Windsor & Newton gouache using a sable brush (at the
moment I'm using a Pro Arte one in size 4, but I have a variety that I
use). My basic process starts with a pencil outline, which I trace onto
watercolour paper using a light box. My painting process goes something like this...I start by painting a base colour, then add light and shadow and blend out. Once this is done I will add details such as eyes, hair, fur, grass etc. <br />

A very simple explanation, but you get the idea I hope! Please link me to any of your process posts, I would love to have a nosey at them!<br />

Hello! This a long overdue update for my poor blog! <br />
<br />
I've been a busy bee recently with my day job, but I've been working on an alphabet illustration after my 9-5 and finished it up this weekend. It was originally an animal alphabet, but a few insects sneaked their way in! <br />

I've been busy organising work for several upcoming exhibitions, the first of which is "SAIL". It's taking place over a couple of weeks in May at galleries in both Cirencester and Cheltenham. There will be a huge variety of different creatives exhibiting and should be an exciting show! There will also be plenty of art works, prints and cards avaliable to buy if you wish! If you live locally, please pop by and say hello!Lucy Boden Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076737582972966981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665449378590738827.post-14610854767737053452012-03-18T20:46:00.002+00:002012-03-18T20:51:06.062+00:00My new studio space!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LRoK9Hqpzrg/T2ZJuU-ucAI/AAAAAAAAA3g/UmLVfQ-ENDU/s1600/485310_514329575097_284600036_354277_924210933_n.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LRoK9Hqpzrg/T2ZJuU-ucAI/AAAAAAAAA3g/UmLVfQ-ENDU/s400/485310_514329575097_284600036_354277_924210933_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721341436875403266" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hello everyone!<br /><br />Just thought I would show you a quick photo of my new studio space (sorry for the iPhone snap!). I've been slowly moving stuff in over the past couple of weekends and now it's ready for me to start work. It's so nice to have a little space of my own, I'm really looking forward to getting lots of painting done!<br /><br />I'll get some new work posted up soon, I'm getting busy preparing for a couple of upcoming exhibitions at the moment. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday everyone!Lucy Boden Illustrationhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076737582972966981noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4665449378590738827.post-50866411948035245622012-02-14T17:57:00.001+00:002012-02-14T18:01:45.166+00:00Happy Valentines Day!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-udJgTMC2wIY/TzqheTQ7e4I/AAAAAAAAAzM/sZy9CNPIC68/s1600/happyvday.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 364px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-udJgTMC2wIY/TzqheTQ7e4I/AAAAAAAAAzM/sZy9CNPIC68/s400/happyvday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709053019584953218" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Happy Valentines day everybody!
