I really need to make more effort to post here. Here’s this morning’s sketchbook page for starters. Polychromos pencils in an Art Creation sketchbook. #sketchbook #colouredpencil

A coloured pencil sketch of a clown type character with blue hear reaching for a heart. It’s in a small square sketchbook on top of some coloured pencils

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.

A little sketchbook practice from earlier this week. I'm really enjoying watercolour pencils at the moment. #sketchbook #drawing #watercolourpencils

Another day, another rhino. This one is in watercolour pencils and I’m much happier with it than the Neocolor sketch. #sketchbook #illustrator

A square sketchbook on a desk with two pencils. On the page is a drawing of a rhino in grey blue and pink.

Dani Williams @daniwilliams.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Yep! These are Neocolors, so much more than just crayons. Some people make incredible artwork with them. I’ve never really got to grips with them myself but I do love them and the way they force me to loosen up.

Dani Williams @daniwilliams.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

I’m sketching rhinos today for a very lovely book project, and while the finished artwork will be done digitally, I couldn’t resist a quick Neocolor scribble of the subject. #pbillustrator #sketchbook

It’s the 5th anniversary of #kidlitartpostcard day! I didn’t realise when I decided to post this pic that the theme this month is You As A Kid, but it works as this illustration was from my Substack post about my teenage encounters with eels.

An illustration of two smiling eels hiding amongst reeds in murky green water. Above them at the water's surface, the legs of a swimmer hang down in the water next to a yellow kayak.

Yeah that little lady probably wins, but I’ve seen a sunfish in real life. I haven’t met her.

Dani Williams @daniwilliams.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

I've heard good things about that show. I haven't seen it yet but I've a feeling I'd really like it.

The sunfish illustration from this week's Substack post. substack.com/@daniwilliam... Probably the strangest looking fish I've ever seen. #illustration #wildlifeillustration

An illustration of a sunfish - a round-shaped fish with no tail and elongated dorsal and anal fins, making it look like a fish that's been chopped in half.

Some recent sketchbook pages that I shared to Substack and realised I need to make more of an effort to share things here too. #sketchbookspread #watercolourpencils

A small sketchbook open on a desk next to ivy leaves shows a drawing of a brown bear’s head and shoulders. He’s full of scribbled pencil textures.
