Hi, I'm Elena and I am an illustrator. I hope you'll like my art.

This illustration is inspired by the Cologne legend of Heinzelmännchen. Little Gnomes that do all the work for you while you sleep.

#illustration #cologne
Picture shows an illustration. It is night time in a bakery and little Heinzelmännchen (gnomes) are doing all the baking. You can see the silhouette of Cologne cathedral through the window.

Hello friends! Just reminding people that I do have a server for artists!

We also have community led classes that are really wonderful and free, so far we've had classes on streaming, comic storytelling, productivity, anatomy! I hope you come!

3 years of my life on one little board. I can't believe they are over. I am so lucky to have spent them with the best and most supportive people.

We used the few sunny days to go and explore the Welsh coastline, and naturally, I had to do a tiny watercolour study (with a tiny bit of gouache)

#art #beach
Watercolour study of a beach. There are plants in the foreground, the beach to the left, the sea to the right and cliffs in the background.

For my final major project at uni, I started a conceptual campaign to help get dogs adopted by drawing them as classical paintings.
All, but one of them got adopted while I was working on the project.

So I present to you: Noodles as Beethoven by Joseph Karl Stieler.
The painting Beethoven with the manuscript of the Missa solemnis, but instead of beethovens head, there's a poodles head. Instead of holding the manuscript or a quil, he is holding a dog treat and a Frisbee

#kidlit #kidlitart #illustration
Illustration depicting a summer-y scene, showing a garden surrounded by other flats and houses. Growing from the middle of the garden is an apple tree which branches connect all neighbours who can be seen through the windows. Everyone is happy - people are waving at each other and sharing drinks and flowers.

I took a break from botanical illustration studies and painted this whimsy little watercolour house.
An art piece showing a timber frame house on a stone foundation. In the front and behind it are plants.

Even more watercolour studies!
I am currently really enjoying just making little studies.

Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):
ARTIST PROPAGANDA I'M NOT FALLING FOR: X Pulling all-nighters to make art proves you’re dedicated to your craft X True artists draw every single day X Only make friends with fellow artists cuz they’ll get you gigs someday X Freelancing is for artists who can't get a "real" studio job X Drawing fanart is cringe X Your portfolio should only have what studios want to see

What do you guys prefer, a photo of a painting or a high-quality scan?
I always feel like a photo feels more personal, but the scan shows the work in a higher quality.
Scan of a watercolour rose. Photo of a watercolour rose. There is also a small brush next to it.

The thing I love the most about watercolour: I can't easily erase mistakes, and so I have to let go of my perfectionism.

The thing I hate the most about watercolour: I can't easily erase mistakes, and so I have to let go of my perfectionism.

There is no pleasing me.

Last year I had the opportunity to illustrate this book reading event. It was so lovely and taught children about why diversity matters.

Fairytales
A digital illustration. A woman wearing a yellow dress and bonnet sits in a rowboat surround by willow and lilpads. A mermaid propers her arms on the edge of the boat, listening intently as the woman reads The Little Mermaid aloud.

Summer fruits!

A digital drawing featuring fruits, berries, flowers and leaves scattered on the page. There are also some birds and a caterpillar. The colours use lots of cool greens, red, pink and orange.

I'm not saying that I became obsessed with drawing dogs as classical paintings over the last few months, but here we are.

#illustrations #art #dogs #FridaKahlo
A homage to Frida Kahlos painting "self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird". Instead of Frida, the person is a dog and several items have been switched to dog related items. For example the thorn necklace is now a thick dog collar with a tennis ball hanging from it.

Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges. The drawing is framed with doodles of oranges above and below the main artwork.
