Hi! I am Pauline. I live in Europe and I mostly draw various real and fantastic critters.

I love seeing new art and while I do not do commissions or sell my art at the moment, I am usually up for art-trades 💛

This little mouse has found a new friend to watch the rain with 🍂🐌

Pinecone the scarecrow belongs to the amazing @caseymcdang.bsky.social 💛

#art #illustration #cuteart #smartist #mammals
A digital drawing consisting of five panels surrounded by small doodles of leaves, musicnotes, rain and coffeebeans. The first three panels form a small row on top of the drawing: a mouse in a green jacket using a leaf as an umbrella walks along a field following the smell of coffee, wheat and leaves. She arrives at a shoe and sits down on it to play some music. The scarecrow to which the shoe belongs notices. The bottom of the page consists of two larger panels. The first one is more narrow and shows the mouse climbing up the scarecrows outstretched arm, one again carrying her leaf. The last and largest panel shows the scarecrow standing in the field watching the rain and some autumn leaves blowing in the wind while the mouse sits on their shoulder playing on her flute

This raccoon has found the perfect drumset 🦝🥁

The drawing is from earlier this year, but I have to share it again for the last day of the #SensoryArt theme #Loud 🎶

The center of the set is made out of a large red pot while the rest is pots, potkids and a pan in different grey tones propped up by branches. A tiny wren is sitting on the outer edge of the drumset listening. The raccon is turned towards a viewer with both its arms raised, holding a spoon and a pair of chopsticks as drumsticks.

This little explorer is searching for sunken treasure 🐸🎶

Explorer Frog, as well as his archeological quest, half-socks, and siblings, have been dreamt up by the wonderful @alexwd.bsky.social for the second full winner illustration of my DTIYS challenge 💛

#cuteart #frog #smartist #artyear #art
A digital drawing featuring a brown frog on a raft floating along a river. The frog is wearing overalls, a hat, and toeless socks in two different colors. He is accompanied by a tadpole in a hat who is studying a treasure map at the edge of the raft. Below the water, several tadpoles are busy looking for treasure on the bottom of the river. They are finding a flower necklace, some kind of bottle with a frog head and arms, and a cameo of @alexwithd's character cauldron head. The most prominent treasure is a travelling organ on wheels which is painted with lilypads and waterlilys and has two stone frogs sitting on either side of the organ pipes. Tiny orange fish are swimming between the objects and the surrounding seagrass.

This little mosquito is on the verge of a scientific breakthrough! 🧪🦟🔬

She is also the first of the two full illustrations I am making for participants of my DTIYS challenge, and an original design by @petrathepostdoc.bsky.social💛

#artyear #art #sciart #smartist #mosquito
A digital drawing of a mosquito in a white lab coat in front of a suspiciously clean lab environment. The mosquito is looking up to a test tube filled with blue liquid that it is holding with one of its four arms. Another arm is holding a pipette while her last two arms are resting on the lab bench behind her. Some additional lab equipment is sitting out on the bench and the wall in the background is covered in some science articles and a poster featuring a microscope next to a window from which the sky is visible. On the top of a shelf on the lab-bench there is a green triceratops planter with a dark green plant made out of little leaves. The mosquito in the image was designed by @petrathepostdoc.

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.

The rat is wearing a green jacket with yellow and green gingham sleeves and mushrooms stitched onto the pocket, a yellow scarf and brown pants with patches on them. Its feet are bare and one of them is barely dipping into the lake. next to the rat there are a cup filled with a dark brown liquid and a sketchbook with a pencil. yellow oak leaves swirling around the rat and resting in the lake - two of them boats for a barely discernable tiny brown bug and a similarly tiny red bug, floating towards each other.
