Cartoon characters

After I finished writing Drive to Nowhere I set about sketching some of the characters for use on my website and on promotional materials.

About two years ago I did a cartooning course at the City of London university, tutored by the talented Steve Marchant. Although I had an interest in cartooning, knowing more about perspective and how to successfully colour in Photoshop was very useful when trying to bring the characters to life. I'm by no means great at it but I enjoy doing it.

This character, Belinda, is a minor presence in Drive to Nowhere. Aged 15; her taste in music very much dates around the time she was born. This grungy girl tries to act cool and calm, but she's more immature than she realises.
