Hi #Portfolioday!

My name is Pauline, and I make quiet and cozy drawings of real and fantastical critters. 🍂🍎🌱🌼
A digital drawing of a mole in a red sweater digging out an oak tree sapling with a shovel next to some trees, roots and grass. Its star shaped lantern is glowing next to it and its earthworm friend is surveying the work. A watering can, a bucket and the handle of a smaller shuffle are strewn around them. A digital drawing of a bear and a duck in knitted sweaters baking apple cake. The bear is standing behind a counter and is cutting apples. Their cutting board on which some peeled apples are being cut is surrounded by apple peels and a large supply of unpeeled apples. The duck is sitting next to them on the counter and stirring some dough in a large white bowl with a blue rim and a blue dot pattern. On the table there is also a baking tin, a stick of cinnamon and a packet of vanilla sugar as well as a cup for each of the friends. The background shows a shelf with plants, candles and another cup as well as a window from which one can see the rainfall. A digital drawing of a stone critter covered in moss, dirt and yellow wild flowers enjoying the rain while sitting on a log A digital drawing of a pond-dwelling mermaid with algae-like green hair, big yellow eyes and a smile that is exposing a single fang. She is resting her head on her arms, looking at the viewer from the border of a pond, surrounded by algae and lillypads. Some ducklings are swimming around her, one of them sitting on a lillypad on her head. There is also a river snail on her shoulder. The ground in front of her is covered in souvenirs she found in the lake such as a flower necklace, a brown leather wallet, a whale toy, a key,some small coins, a chess piece and what seems to be a smudged note. To the right side of the image, a frog with a golden crown is sitting on a yellow toy boat. The scene is illuminated by fireflies floating above the lake.
