Once Upon a Line by Pauline Visser

Drawings waiting to be coloured in.

I draw by hand, in ink, on paper. Mostly inspiration from life.
Nothing is finished until somebody else picks up a pencil or a crayon.

Who is drawing these

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember.

I've always loved drawing and painting, and I've tried every medium going. Inspired by other artists, ink line drawing is the one that really appeals to me.

I illustrated a few children's books in the past and would love to do more of that one day.

Most of what I draw comes from nature, the plants and scenery I find on my walks, although sometimes I just let my imagination go and see what turns up.

My first colouring book, Wild Africa: Colouring Collection, has 24 one-sided pages. If you use markers, slip a sheet of card behind the page to protect the next one. The next book will be all about the sea.
