Nacho illustration

This card was made for my boyfriend for our anniversary. I chose to do doritos as they are one of our favourite things to snack on. It was painted in watercolours with details added with a fine liner and coloured pencils. I think I will redo this Illustration and refine it as I like the idea but I think I can execute it better. 

 

Jamming out

This little jar of strawberry jam is having fun listening to music. Its a little pun illustration which I love doing. It was fun doing a pun that wasn't for a greetings card even though I love doing greetings card puns. 

 

Beach fun time

this illustration is of a dad who's taken his two young children to the beach on a sunny day. The dad is sleeping (or as he would say "just resting his eyes") in his deck chair as the children play. The daughter has been busy running about playing in the sea and collecting shell to show off to dad. The son is having fun in the sand and sneakily burying dad's feet in the sand when he's meant to be building a sandcastle. 

I loved building sandcastles as a kid, we'd make hugh castles that had big moats filled with water and rivers leading all the way to the sea. 

What is your favourite beach memory? 
 

Fly paper airplane fly

 

An illustration of a girl throwing a paper plane. I was playing with creating a black and white greyscale illustrations. I drew it originally in colour and then made it black and white in my drawing app layer by layer.  I loved drawing this as it was very different to what I am used to. Greyscale illustrations are fun as you have to think differently about the colour you are picking so the drawing works. 

Little penguin

Little illustration of a cute little penguin in a hat. The penguin has adventured into the aussie outback so is sporting a lovely cork hat to keep the sun off him. I love seeing different animals in hats as I think its just so cute. Maybe I should make a whole series of animals and hats. 

 

Nativity! Fanart

This is a piece of fan art I did to celebrate my love for the Christmas film nativity. Painted in my moleskin watercolour sketchbook with watercolours,  fine liner, metallic ink and coloured pencils. I want to draw a large selection of the characters dressed up in their costumes. I had a lot of fun creating this piece as i got to watch the film and listen to the sound track a lot.  

I know its a little late but what is your favourite Christmas film? 

 

Autumn vegetables

Little selection of autumn veggies. I was playing around with different brushes and textures on autodesk sketchbook and created this. I think the leek turned out the best. Autumn has the best vegetables and they are the best in soups and stews. 

 What is your favourite vegetable? 

I like all vegetables pretty much but my favourite are parsnips. 

Happy new year!!!

Hope you all survived the best you could throughout 2021. 2021 was the year where I feel like I became an adult. I finished university with a first class degree which I'm very proud of. I also got a job so I am managing to adult ok. I stayed very creative throughout the year and created a lot I've very proud of. The picture above is the best 9 of the year according to my Instagram likes. I would say there are probably better and pieces I like more and are more proud of but hey ho I don’t control what becomes my most liked on Instagram. 

Hope you all have an good 2022 and heres to a great and creative year for me!
