Handmade art book for my Moon-obsessed toddler 🌕
(Sans cover because their name is on it)
It started as a low effort "I can finish this in one afternoon" project, with finger-painted moon & splotchy stars. But I decided to add the animals so it ballooned into a week-long ordeal.
Acrylic paint, gesso, matte medium & water-soluble pastels on 180gsm mixed media paper.

I didn't intend to participate in #MerMay this year, but as it happens I just added finishing touches on this #mermaid today.
Watercolor, colored pencils & Neocolor II in an A5 sketchbook.
Not planning on doing a daily challenge, but I may repaint one of my old pieces if I have the time before the end of the month...

I completely forgot how to paint digitally (as I almost never do illustration commissions anymore), so when a regular client came to me with this project I realized I'd be faster with watercolor and colored pencils.
Not fast mind you, but faster...

Felt like doodling creepy critters. Still undecided if I want to color them or leave as they are.

@dona I'd love to hear if you have any more ideas 😌
Living with chronic illness means that sometimes we may have a bit of time to create, but not the energy or mental capacity. Even when I have an hour or two to myself, it doesn’t mean I can just dive in and start drawing or painting. So wh…
Most days the only thing I get to draw is some insect or animal for my kid (1) with his chunky crayons 😔

The inflation is absolutely outrageous.
Local stationery store is having a 10% off sale on art supplies. Great, let me check.
The prices are DOUBLE what I remember from 3-4 years ago. The "affordable" brands are not at all affordable anymo…

This is my 2019 #MerMay painting that I've been wanting to paint again for a long time, because this one turned out wrong. I was really happy with the sketch, but the size (~A4) and paper (Canson XL 🤮) made it impossible to do it justice.
