So, I went surfing in Australia. Oh my word, I swear my stomach was killing me the next day, all that fighting through the surf. Though I unfortunately did manage to fall off in the shallows and totally buggar my shoulder - typical.
So accepting that I am not meant for the extreme sports lifestyle, I am more than happy to do the art work. I can't hurt my arm this way (well, that isn't technically true, but that's another story).
So here's a sassy surfer girl, in watercolour and pen. Ahhh don't you just love the sea ey.
My name is Ruth, and I'm a freelance illustrator and artist living in London. This blog documents a mixture of my illustration work, sketched reviews & life in the big bad wonderful city of London. www.ruthjoyce.co.uk

The Nineteeth Doodle
I really like the idea of doing fashion type illustrations, but with my own edge. I don't know if you've noticed (HA) but my style is rather messy, gritty and pretty grungy. But I still feel it can go with pretty much any subject matter!
This lady just sort of popped out of my head from a rough sketch, she is very bohemian! I love the layering of watercolours, they literally rock my world. Acrylic can be fun, but watercolour is my true love. Always and forever. Gosh, how emo.
