Gave myself some time to do some painting the other day and I'm really pleased with what came of it 😊 Watercolour with white gouache and plenty of pencil over the top for texture and definition.

A painting in watercolour, a dark blue background with white paint illustration over the top. A long curling dragon weaves around the outside, with a small girl in the centre, her eyes shut, holding her hands gently in front of her. Small white outline leaves are dotted about the place decoratively. A close-up of the dragon's face, showing watercolour paper texture and graphite pencil A close-up of the little girl, showing paper texture and the small oak leaf above her head

7k WOOO!! Congratulations!
Hi I'm Emily, an artist from the UK. My thing is fantasy, folklore and fairytales and I created a world called Strangehollow. Here's one of my more recent dragon paintings :)
a blue dragon prepares to land on its nest which has two dragonlings waiting patiently for their next meal in it.

It's little me! ✨ Celebrating who I was a kid, in all her weird and wonderful glory, by drawing little me surrounded by the beasts and creatures that I was utterly obsessed with at that age (nothing has changed since then, honestly...)

#kidlit #kidlitart #illustration
An illustration of a little girl, pale and freckly, brown hair, wearing an oversized orange jumper with a green frog on the front, green shorts, and baggy yellow socks. She's looking up in awe, surrounded by sketched drawings of various animals, including a bat, iguana, worms, woodlice, a fox, and snails.

If you see this, post a witch!
A witch with huge curly pink hair and fluffy boots sits on a tree stump in a forest, trees devoid of leaves all around. She's reading from a book, concentrating hard on a spell, which is summoning a golden whispy dragon, glowing, from her raised hand. A golden dog, crow, and snake all sit around her - previous incantations.

Hi folks! I'm Charli, an illustrator in publishing with a love for stories about adventures in nature, social inclusivity, and encouraging readers to embrace and celebrate their individuality.

I'm looking for work at the moment, so any shares or engagement would be *super duper* appreciated! ✨😁

Right-wing freaks use the word 'Woke' instead of the classic Nazi 'Degenerate' to describe good things for two reasons; its easier to spell, and it allowed them to steal something from black people.

My capacity for drawing has been drastically low for months, but something that rarely fails to get me creating something is #ParisPaloma lyrics and songs. Had a bunch of fun making this one into a book cover.
A book cover titled "The Warmth" by Paris Paloma. It shows a yellow outlined dragon-like head rising from abstract dark blue shapes with a warm orange background and small yellow star above its head.

Borrowed my partner's fancy camera and took some photos of my goblin, Boba the podenco 🧡

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

I know you're probably just being facetious but busting out the chart in case it helps anybody
Diagram, displays two images. Title says "imposter syndrome vs reality". The first shows a very small red circle titled "what I know" inside a much much bigger circle that says "what I think others know". The second has the same circles, but the red is the same size, and each circle just slightly overlaps the other, with each person knowing things other people don't.

Love seeing this kind of peaceful paleo art 🧡

And so the first anniversary of the formation stream series ends and we can remove Hell Creek from the list. I had ideas for an HC piece for nearly a year but only over the last few weeks came this composition really together.

Excellent ref resource for my fellow animal artists!
