Stealthy Lines and Excessive Colour

It's not all rock and roll party party party being an illustrator. True, I do get to spend an inordinately large proportion of my time surrounded by doting fans whilst living a life of constant excess, but from time to time I'm brought back down to earth by a realistic commission. This is one such example. I think all in all there were 252 drawings to do in a series of Citizenship textbooks for secondary school classrooms. These ranged from drawing pretty much every vegetable available in the UK (as evidenced by the illustrations) along with a number of sauces and condiments, through to drawings to teach students about contraception, (also shown), and many other things too (not shown as there's about another 200 of them!) As you can see, these drawings are pretty dry, so I tried to make them as colourful and interesting to the reader as possible.
