Dog watercolour

Something a little bit different but something I want to do more of. This was a Christmas present for my partners family of their pet dog. She is a very sweet dog. I had never actually done a pet portrait of a dog before this as I'd only ever done cats before. However I think this turned out so well especially for a first time. I am always open to accepting commissions for pet portraits like this at only £40! If you are interested message me on any of my socials or email me and make sure you have a good photo that can be easy to draw from. Watercolours on Watercolour page is the median that the portrait will be drawn using if you want one. 

 

Valentine's

This drawing is my version of lucy dillamore 's draw this in your style for valentine's day this year.  The little bike riding bunny is super cute and off to deliver their gifts to their valentine's. I used watercolours, oil pastels, sharpie and digital. Using lots of medians is so much fun and means I got lots of different textures and colours. Joining in with draw this in your styles is great way to get me out of an art block and to try out different styles, media and play around experimenting to things.  

 

Back of business card

This goes with the previous post as this goes on the back of business card.

This card involves 3 common features of my work- puns and koalas and tea. I love all 3 things and I think this illustration tells the viewer a lot about who I am as an artist. The tea bag is also a Yorkshire tea tea bag tag so people have an idea that I am from Yorkshire as as a Yorkshire born person, I am very passionate about Yorkshire tea. 

 I like it when business cards have a fun design on the back as then I can put it on a pin board for inspiration. I love collecting illustrator business cards and how they show off their wonderful style and express themselves. When I went to thought bubble a few years back, I picked up loads of business cards and put my favourites on the back of my bedroom door for inspiration and followed loads of them on Instagram. I plan on going back to thought bubble hopefully maybe this year and maybe I could even have a stall one day. Have you ever been to thought bubble? 

 

New banner and business card

This piece is the start of my rebranding. I am starting to rebrand in a more professional way and make all my socials a little bit more streamline and matching. This piece is for my socials as a banner/ header and also as a business card. Koalas are a common theme in a lot of illustrations so my business card i felt like had to involve a cute little koala.  I drew a koala drawing on the wall in a child like way to show my illustration style is childlike. Very proud of this piece and am excited to finally making myself a more professional as a freelance illustrator right now. 

 

Collaborative zine on idioms

 I joined in with a collaborative zine that I saw an open call for on Instagram. The zine is about idioms and I picked spill the beans. I drew lots of cute little baked beans falling out of the can and wrote "go on" to make it sound kind of cheeky that secrets are being told. 

The zine is in black and white but I originally did it in colour as I prefer to work in colour and its nice to have the 2 version. 

The zine features lots of wonderful illustrations and illustrators so go check out the zine in the link below.
