I’m not usually very good at following through with challenges but #lillasstyleplay2025 has got me excited. I see it as a chance to explore and have fun. I am slowly seeing my style emerge. Here’s a few illustrations from the first week. #illustrationchallenge

A greyscale illustration for a middle grade version of The Jungle Books, depicting Mowgli hanging from a tree in the jungle, being tickled by Kah the boa constrictor, who is itself wrapped around the same branch. Mowgli is laughing and Kah is smiling.

Trying to up my portrait game with some tips during yesterdays #summercreativereteat session
#illustration

Exploring emotions and mushrooms through character creation and hand-lettering, I'm having fun with quirky mushroom characters. I've finished two books, releasing next month, and am reviewing my portfolio to attract more opportunities.

To sleep, perchance to dream

Whimsical mushroom character springs to life, radiating magic and wonder. This enchanting figure, with vibrant colors and delicate features, resembles a fairy tale forest dweller. It might reside under ancient trees and moss, adding magic and guarding woodland secrets.

I'm applying techniques from Aveline Stokart's Mastering Lighting and Shading 21Draw course. I often feel timid about lighting in my illustrations but aim to overcome this. Although the lighting still feels conservative, I believe I'm progressing in the right direction.

I recently discovered a captivating piece of art called #DTIYS by the talented artist @colors_by_jen, which sparked a burst of creativity within me to create my own version. I'm exploring the dynamic world of Clip Studio Paint, and experimenting with new brushes and a slightly different style.

Trying out some new lighting techniques this morning. Still working out how best to use my new knowledge and incorporate it into my style. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

Taking a break from from studio work to experiment a little with this lovely #dtiys by @sanya_kreativ
Congratulations on 900 followers. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your art.

I've been exploring a playful feline character inspired by our own Handsome Hansi, the coolest and most distinctive cat. His unique traits have inspired me to bring this character to life. I'm considering giving him a partner in crime. What do you think?

I haven't been very active on here (or anywhere) lately. Been busy sorting a lot of things out. As I slowly make my way back I thought I'd share a couple images from a look illustrated that came out earlier this year. A fun book about a little girl and the centipede that lives in her bathtub.
