The creative process
From first pencil line to finished piece
Every illustration starts the same way: a sharpened pencil, a blank sheet and a lot of looking. Here's how a drawing comes to life.
Looking & sketching
Loose, light graphite lines to find the shapes, the composition and the story.
The line drawing
Confident pencil lines go down, with all the wobbly, characterful details kept in.
Layering colour
Pencil crayon is built up layer by layer. It's slow, but that's where the texture comes from.
Finished & signed
Signed, scanned for prints and sent to its new home, or framed for the wall.
Slow, careful, a little bit wobbly & full of character — just like the places I draw.
The shop
Prints, postcards & little gifts
Colourful, characterful drawings of the everyday: places, food, flowers and favourite things.

Meet Jane
Thirty years teaching art. A lifetime of drawing it.
I'm Jane, an illustrator and, for more than thirty years, an art teacher.
I've spent my career showing people that drawing is really about looking, slowing down and noticing the small things that make a place or a moment special. Now I get to do that every day in my own studio, with a tin full of pencils.
I draw by hand in pencil crayon because I love its texture and honesty: every line has a little wobble, every colour is built up slowly, and nothing is quite perfect. That's the point. My illustrations are a celebration of life's adventures, big and small, from a family holiday to a really good cup of coffee.

How long does a commission take?
Usually 3–4 weeks from your sketch being approved, depending on size and how busy the studio is. If you have a date in mind, tell me in the form and I'll let you know honestly whether I can make it.
What do I need to send you?
A few photos and the story behind them. They don't need to be good photos, just the places, details and moments you'd love included. We'll shape the rest together.
Do you frame artwork?
Prints and originals are sent unframed so you can choose a frame you love. All sizes fit standard off-the-shelf frames.
How much is delivery?
UK delivery is £3.50, and free on orders over £40. Prints are posted flat or in sturdy tubes; originals are sent tracked.
Can I give a commission as a gift?
Yes, and it's a lovely surprise! Gift vouchers are available too, so the recipient can choose their own memories.
