Christmas draw this in your style

Hi I created a Christmas draw this in your style for Christmas. All you have to do is draw this angel tree topper in your art style and post online and tag me (@charlotsart) and hashtag it #DTIYSCharlotsArt 

Have fun!!!!! 

 

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? 

 

Merry Christmas. A Family Christmas dinner

Merry Christmas!!! Hope you've all had a wonderful day whatever you did. Its a quiet one for me but I think that's nice sometimes. This illustration is of a family sitting down for Christmas Dinner.  The dad is carving the turkey. The mum and grandad are raising a toast and one of the daughters and the grandma are pulling a Christmas cracker to tell a terrible joke and wear a ripped paper crown that never fits. It was done in watercolours and fine liner. I painted it in my moleskin sketchbook. I maybe would change the blue walls to another colour but oh well, too late now. I wanted to do a nice full illustration to put in my portfolio and with lots of characters interacting with each other and a full family. 

What is your Christmas Dinner like? Whats your favourite item on the table?

 Mine is roast parsnips 

 

Christmas eve

Well its that time of year again, Christmas time! Its come round again quicker than ever. In this illustration, i drew a brother and sister up past their bed time to catch a glimpse at the man with the bag. Father Christmas has brought them all their lovely toys to enjoy. They have left out a mince pie, a snowball cocktail and a carrot which is what I always used to leave out too. 

I did this all monochrome so it would work in a middle grade 6-10 year old type of book. 

Sleep well all tonight and I hope santa visits you too. 

 

Santa paws is coming to town

Santa paws is who visits all the pets and animals around the world to deliver their presents.  This year i got my cat some licky lix that are turkey flavoured as she loves her daily licky lix even though she's meant to be on a diet but she's a little treat and she's done really well with her diet. 

If you have a pet, do you get them a Christmas present? 

 

Festive cheese

A little cheese celebrating the holiday season. Cheese is a major part of a British  Christmas with the evening cheese and crackers. And then its cheese and crackers for lunch for the next week as well. And I love it. 

What is your favourite cheese? 

I like German smoked cheese, edam and cheddar the best 

 

Cracking day

A couple of years ago I made 4 koala watercolours for Christmas so I wanted to get to that collection a little with another piece. This watercolour shows 2 koalas, all warm in patterny Christmas, pulling a big Christmas cracker. What will they get in the Christmas cracker? Hopefully a bad joke, a little paper hat that doesn't fit and a little toy. Maybe it will be the fortune telling fish...

Does your country do Christmas crackers or is it just a British thing? 

Snowy owl

This illustration is my take on a draw this in your style from Alice Jago on Instagram. Back in 2013, I used to love owls so this challenge really spoke to me. The cute little owl family drinking hot chocolate give proper wintery vibes where I want to just snuggle on the sofa with a blanket and a hot drink. 

Have you had snow yet this year? I had some at the end of November which is so early for where I live.

(The original illustration by Alice jago for her 2k followers) 

 

Party tree

Is your tree up yet? I love walking around and seeing trees pop up in people's windows. My family always put our tree up very late considering how much I love Christmas.  I plan to get my own tree this year but don't know when I'll get one, maybe this weekend..... guess we'll see. 

 

Festive tea

 

Happy first of December and you know means Christmas is fast approaching. I always create so many Christmas illustrations and this year is no different and I've done so many. I love Christmas and I love tea so this design is a bit of me. It is inspired by a card I made for my boyfriend for his birthday a couple of years ago. That card said "lets par-tea" with a cute little tea bag. Stay tuned for many many more Christmas illustrations. 

Ho ho ho its Father Christmas

On the door of one of the days of my advent calendar, it said can you draw santa? And well I thought I'd give it ago. This jolly old fellow is busy this time of year and is excited to spread some happiness to the world in what has been a tricky year for so many. I tried to draw the northern lights in the background but it didn't go too well but its a nice splash of colour in the background. 

Question of the day---  What do you leave out for father Christmas on Christmas eve? 

We always used to leave out a small bottle of snowball, a mince pie and a carrot for the reindeer. 

 

Elves packing the sleigh

A fun little illustration of some of Santa's elves packing all the presents for the children in the sleigh. They are inspired by the elves in the simpsons in the show that Maggie loves. I've not done many illustrations with lots of humanlike characters in one scene like this in ages and I still feel like I need to improve with doing more full and exciting scenes. I hope you enjoy this Christmas scene. :) 

Tree-rex

I got a comment on one of my recent Instagram posts that inspired this fun pun. The T-rex is all decked out for Christmas with his tree costume. He has his little star headband and lots and lots of little colourful fairy lights. I really liked creating this so I  really hope you enjoy it. 

Christmas fairy

This character is based on @_banshee_art_ on Instagram 's characters they made into a draw this in your style. I made her into a waitress in a diner serving Christmas pudding up to her customers. I liked taking the dtiys character and running with it and turning it into a proper scene. I hadn't done a dtiys in a while but sometimes I see them feel inspired to do it. However if any of my Instagram followers are reading this, if you start a draw this in your style challenge, even if I don't do it, I alway add it to a saved folder full of dtiys on Instagram to go back to in the future. 

late night ice skating

Following the getting in the Christmas spirit design,  the same couple are out on a late night ice skate. This design really was playing with brushes and textures on autodesk sketchbook so I hope you like it. 

let's get in the Christmas spirit

For my Christmassy designs this year, I wanted to try out lots of different styles and textures. This bold style is one im always drawn to when I see them around and wanted to try it out. How do you think it turned out? It might be harder to get in the Christmas spirit this year but there's nothing a bit of bubbly can't solve hahaha!!!

miss Robin in mistletoe

An elegant design of a Robin stood in a ring of mistletoe waiting for her love to fly by for a quick Christmas kiss. Putting animals in a ring of leaves is one of my favourite styles to do and I think this works really well with the mistletoe. 

presents for everyone

Mr penguin is delivering Christmas presents to all his friends and family this year since he loves to put a smile on their face. Does he put a smile on your face?
