Colourful, fun and Educational?

It's all too easy to get locked into a groove with certain styles of work, especially if the budgets tight and the material hardly illustrating Harry Potter. Every now and then I have to give myself a bit of a slap and remind myself, that actually, if your approach is as dead as a fishes eye, then the artwork will be too. Get a friggin grip, you're not going down the mines or working the night shift at a chicken filleting plant...you're drawing and you really do actually love it. These were a few educational pieces I completed after a gingerly slap about and a lengthy discussion in a mirror.
