Without further ado, the winner of the Caxton Big Draw is:

Debbie Linforth!

Linforth submitted two drawings, both of which were drawings of animals.

“I have an extremely soft spot for zebras, always have – even my wedding dress and wedding cake had zebra stripes! And I always have such a good feeling when drawing zebras,” said Linforth.

“I work at a veterinary clinic in Waterfall, and one of our clients asked if I could draw her daughter’s Frenchie, and this is how she came out,” said the gifted artist.
