Lately I'm trying to find my voice digitally. So here is a panda enjoying an orangeade designed for a sticker, done on Procreate ☺️
Digital illustration of a purple panda holding a glass of orangeade with a green straw. Its background is a circle of green bamboo, some leaves are popping out of the circle.

Tämä ehkä ei ole mitään "klassista" omakuvaa mutta se kuitenkin kuvittaa, kuka minä olen 😊
Tehty vuonna 2021 akryylillä !
Acrylic painting of a "Meet the artist" challenge. On the left there is me standing with a blue hoodie and a colourful shoulder bag. On the right are all the things I like : music, books, movie posters, an Eyeore fluffy. The books and the fluffy are resting on a wooden fence behind which are growing blue, green and orange bushes.

Very recently I finished this commission of a little sea otter for the daughter of a friend. This friend had already commissioned me a little lion for her first son. They now both have their totem animal 😊
And I really loved to paint the colourful background leaves in particular !
Acrylic painting of a sea otter chilling on her back in water. It has a waterlily on its head and a couple more waterlilies are on the water. The otter is looking at us with a playful look and its paws resting under its mouth. There are also some rocks with shells on them. The background is shaped like a fan of green and turquoise leaves. The name Théa is written in pink at the bottom. Acrylic painting of a little lion sitting and posing with one of its front paws up. It's looking at us with a surprised look. There are some rocks around and the background is shaped like a fan of leaves and bushes that are red, blue and teal. The name Léon is written in dark green at the bottom.

Hello ! Today I've just finished painting for a commission ☺️ And because I don't want to reveal the whole before its owner sees it, here are a couple of close-ups in the meantime 🪷🐚
Close-up of an acrylic painting in the process, showing a pink lotus flower and a rock with a couple of seashells on them, and three green and turquoise leaves in the background.

Just finished this little fairy for a challenge 😊 The rules were to be inclusive and add a particularity to the fairy, and to associate it with a spring flower or plant.
I went with a fairy with albinism, awakening the scilla luciliae, to match the purple hues of her eyes ☺️
Coloured pencils on black paper. A fairy with albinism and a round body shape, dressed with a light purple dress and transparent wings. She's spreading like pink magic powder on a scilla luciliae flower, that is in the shades of blue and purple. A close-up on the face of the fairy. We see well her white eyebrows and eyelashes, as well as her purple eyes. A picture of some scilla luciliae, though the shade is more blue on the picture than what it is in real.

Actually I got maybe carried away a bit too fast 😅 I have better fitting ones, like my little sea turtle or this cut paper illustration from 2014 (already !!)
Stylized and fun sea turtle smiling and looking at us while swimming in a rather graphic-shaped water. Acrylic painting. Cut paper illustration of a girl sitting on a pier by night. She's looking at the moon, with a lamp by her side. The paper are all shades of blue and silver, except the moon and the light of the lamp.

A few years ago, I did a series of illustrations about the four elements.
I turned water into ice, but I guess it still suits the theme 😊❄️
An acrylic painting of the personification of the water element, transformed into ice. A woman with brown skin and white hair is kneeling in her blue tunique in front of a sitting polar bear. She has her eyes closed and her face is turned up to the blue night sky that has also shades of purple. Blue and purple cristals are surrounding the picture.

I will be participating to a Spring Art market in Jyväskylä next Saturday (it was not planned at first!).
My reading companion bookmarks will be there as well, but I don't know when I will redo some if they run out.
They're still available on my shop if you're interested but would fear to miss em 😊
Bookmarks with animal bodies at the top. On the left a yellow bookmark with a raccoon. In the middle, a green bookmark with a squirrel. On the right, a blue bookmark with an otter. All the bookmarks lay on top of an open book.

A little late to the party... Or not ? 😉

If you see this, post a bunny 🐇
An acrylic illustration of a beige and brown bunny sitting in the grass, its back to us. There are several Easter chocolate eggs all around and a big cracked open one in front of the bunny. The bunny is turned to us with a surprised expression, because it's been caught by the viewer while eating all this chocolate. There are also pink clouds in the background.

Step 8 !

Steps 4 to 7 !
A screenshot of patterns showing in the program Inkscape, with the caption: STEP 4. I decided which patterns I would go with. I then have to draw them on a vector program. A screenshot of the scan of the raccoon painting in the program Photoshop, with the caption: STEP 5. After scanning the illustration, it's time for editing. I also integrate the patterns during this step. A screenshot of a shape drawn in the program Inkscape, with the caption: STEP 6. I had previously scanned the final drawing before starting on the painting. That way I could also draw the final shape of the bookmark on the vector program. That will be used during the cutting step. A screenshot of all the painting put together on a layout, with the caption: STEP 7. After repeating all these steps for the two other animals, it is time to prepare the printing files. I have to make sure that both sides are perfectly reflecting, in order for the cutting to succeed.

I've got one last thing to share about my reading companions bookmarks : the process !
I thought I couldn't share it because it's more than 4 images, but I'll just continue in the comments 🙂
A picture of three bookmarks shaped as animals, set on top of an open book. On the left, a yellow bookmark with a raccoon at the top. In the middle, a green bookmark with a squirrel at the top. On the right, a blue bookmark with an otter at the top. A picture of raccoon sketches, with the caption: STEP 1. Sketches and researches, to find the right designs of both the animals and the patterns that will be on the body of the bookmark. A screenshot of the program Procreate, showing different colour tests of the raccoon, with the caption: STEP 2. Coloue tests and refining ideas for the patterns. I do this step digitally. A picture of an acrylic painting of a raccoon, both from the front and the back, with the caption: STEP 3. The painting. I also used tracing paper to be sure that the shape stays the same in the front and the back.

Hello ! I'm stressing while preparing new products and I would like to have your opinion on this one.
Would you see yourself rather go for white or dark background for those A5 prints ? (Dark background and not black, and on textured paper)
Thank you ! 🙂

Two pictures side by side of the same girl in a blue and brown outfit with a telescope and a suitcase, white background on the left, dark blue background on the right.

I precisely did a retrospective after my last Christmas market.
This is market in 2016 vs in 2024.
I could grab a big, full table only thrice, so the rest of the time the space feels a bit tight, but I try to optimize 🙂
A display of products at a Christmas market in 2016. We can see postcards, prints, jewels and some little figurines. A display of products at a Christmas market in 2024. We can see postcards, prints, stickers, pins, notebooks, notepads, pens, felt ornaments and a poster.

Quickly draw what you’re wearing, 5 mins max!

I am still very insecure about my sketches so I feel extremely vulnerable sharing this.
But the challenge was short and fun, and I currently have nothing to do at work, so 🙂

(And yes, it is COLD inside)

My first illustration of 2025 is finally here 🥳
It feels so relieving to have it out. I'm more motivated to move on now, more exciting little projects waiting to be made ! 🙂

This is part of a September challenge (yes I'm late), the Witch Academy. This one was for the spells class !
Watercolour illustration of a girl sitting on a low stone wall, with two Greek-style columns on the side. There's ivy climbing up the columns. The girl is a having a braid, is looking up while holding a quill. She's wearing a green vest and a tartan skirt, green and red. There are books and a green bag on her left, and a black cat on her right. The painting is placed on on two types of paper, and is framed by some dry flowers. Same picture as previous one, but scanned version.

Wow, the Bluesky community keeps growing !
Thank you for the art share 🙂
I'm Justine, a traditional illustrator for young and older souls. I love to paint cute animals in particular, and I do sometimes children's books !
I wish I had something new but not quite yet. So here are some oldies 🙂
Coloured pencils drawing on a black paper. A grey wolf cub is resting on grey rocks in the middle of purple bushes and orange plants. Acrylic painting of a young deer in the middle of a forest. The deer is turned to the left and is looking up. The overall colour palette is blue-green-turquoise. The name Eliott is painted at the bottom of the illustration. A set of four postcards made out of cut paper. They all represent a tree corresponding to each season. An acrylic painting of a young girl with ginger hair and purple outfit petting a fox. She is sitting in the middle of a forest, of which we see only bare tree barks and some lupine-like yellow and orange plants. It represents the fire element.
