into the woods

The third prompt was in the woods. Kerry is in the woods and sees a baby brown bear playing with bees and a wise wistful owl. Here I tried out lighting which I want to really learn how to do and practice lots and lots. I added sunlight peaking through the trees and I loved this effect on the drawing. 

Mountain climbers

The second prompt for animal adventure week was mountains. Kerry rode a llama up the mountains and meets mountain goats and bold eagles and other animals on the way up to the top. I really like the drawing as I love the way I did the clouds and mountain, I am enjoying working on scenery in my work. Scenery has never been an area I have been particularly as good at as I'm not as confident but this prompt list is helping me work on my scenery and settings and I'm loving it so far!!!

Jungle adventures

On Instagram, I found the prompt list for animal adventure week 2020 that was a challenge for the first week of june 2020. 

For this list of prompts, I created the character of Kerry the koala who is an explorer. 

The first prompt was the jungle. In this drawing, I drew kerry in a boat floating down the river going through the jungle. In the jungle we see a leopard, sloth and parrot. 

bee happy

Since finishing my university work for the year, I have been painting little punny greeting card ideas with watercolours. This idea was taken one of the watercolour paintings. I like to make fun cheerful but cheesy puns. This bee happy one was to try and make people feel cheerful which can be hard especially right now but we can try our best and smile and get through the hard times cos things will get better!! 

With the paintings I've been doing, I plan to scan them in and hopefully sale them as greeting cards when I set up an online store or on etsy or something, I just need to figure out a lot of things before I do that so bare with me. But if you ever want a card specially making, message me (preferable on my facebook page) and we can discuss it. 

If you have any fun pun ideas, comment to let me and I will love to try and illustrate it!!!

80s inspired patterns

These patterns are fun brightly coloured geometric designs I drew in my sketchbook for fun and I loved how they turned out so I remade them on Autodesk sketchbook and loved then even more. They are inspired by the retro vibes of the 80s. I really like drawing patterns and find it so enjoyable especially on my tablet where I can repeat the shapes and ideas more. I hope you like these patterns and I plan to create more. Like all my digital work, I have put them on the redbubble and they look so fab especially since I can do repeat patterning on there so a full repeat on products looks so funky and colourful. :) xxx

Linktree

Hello all,

 So I set up a linktree so all links to my different shops and social media are in one place and easy to get to for future references.

lemon gal

This piece was inspired by a dtiys I found on Instagram, I loved the colourful clothing the original artist used. This drawing helped me explore even  more of the brushes on Autodesk sketchbook and I loved the textures I managed to get from them. I hope you ime this drawing. 

Katniss from the hunger games

With the release of ballad of songbirds and snakes, I decided to drawing Katniss from the hunger games trilogy. Here she is hunting with her bow and arrow by the river. I love the hunger games both the movies and the books so I am excited for the new book. 

Cinderella inspired piece

Recently I have been trying to improve my drawing skills by practicing poses. For these pose practices (also seen in the previous red riding hood drawing), I plan on using book characters especially using classic fairy tales characters and scenes. This drawing focuses on Cinderella. It is a modern take on the scene where her step sisters have ripped up her dress. 

Which other fairy tales would you like to see? Especially any particular scene?
