Hand-eye coordination has never been one of my strong points. Yes, I was the little girl crying in the corner after getting hit in the face playing king-ball in primary school (which my teacher made us play everyday) I actually recall a sports teacher saying to me after one such incident *sarcastically* "does that hurt?" to which I replied * rudely* "what do you think?" and then she slapped me across the face - bet they don't get away with that these days!... anyway, I digress.
I have however mastered a few sports such as beach cricket and Pooh sticks, which is nothing to be sneezed at. Sadly when it comes to illustration my hand-eye coordination gets lost in translation. My mind has a perfect image but my hands are like lead and try as I might I am generally disappointed. I do love, love to illustrate on the computer though!
I made these little peas and telephone to be stenciled onto some baby t-shirts along with the fox.

I hated dodge ball...in fact any sport where I might get hit with a large hard object...and javelin...had visions of students being impaled in large metal skewers!
Gorgeous illustrations, Can't wait to see them in 'real life'.
Yes the computer is great for that. I too love to create designs on the computer.
What do you use?
I really enjoy a program called ArtRage.
Javelin = terrifying!
I mostly use Adobe illustrator and then photoshop from time to time. I love that I can 'undo' my mistakes! If only there was a 'control+alt+delete' in life eh!?
