Here’s another colouring picture that I’ve been working on – being without internet the other week gave me lots of time to draw! Old Wizard Woo is a character who appears in two of my Enchanted Forest stories: Sidney the Scaredy Spider and The Pixie Party. He’s also in several stories that have not yet made … More Old Wizard Woo Colouring Picture
