ERNEST PENCIL SKETCHES

The book The adventures of Ernest Little Tug "Jesse the Elephant" final illustrations were generated on the computer using Photoshop & Illustrator. However, every illustration & character started of course with a hand drawn sketch. Here are some pencil sketches of Ernest.

TEDDY THE DOG

Teddy the Dog is Ernest's best friend & travels with Ernest through all of his adventures. Most of the boats in the Ernest series are based on real boats that have existed on Sydney Harbour throughout the last century. Teddy is also based on a real dog ... the real Teddy (although a little older than the Teddy in the book) is happy, energetic & very inquisitive. Here is Teddy reading about his adventure with Jesse the Elephant.
