Sylph 🧚 an air spirit

Another drawing I’m really proud of! Capturing emotion accurately can be really hard for me as I normally get too distracted by getting all the little details correct, but she looks so peaceful and content 🥲

Thank you very much 💚

Thank you!!

Thank you!! They were so fun to make

Thank you!!

first breath 🌿

This was one of my first procreate drawings and I’m so proud of it. Much of my work is inspired by death and breathing. My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2011 and it has been a slow, painful experience that shows up in my art in different ways.

A watercolour and pen drawing/painting of one of my favourite little creatures. I adjusted the colours in photoshop to make the blue version and I’m still not sure which colourway I prefer 🙈

A black and white drawing of a hawk head surrounded by branches and overgrown leaves. The hawk appears to be screaming as its mouth is open and their tongue is visible.

Screech 🪶

A pen drawing of a hawk I created while on a flight. I find drawing on planes to be the easiest distraction - time goes by so quickly when you’re totally immersed in a project

A black and white drawing of an Icelandic ogre named Gryla crouching in an overgrown forest. Her hands are stretched out in front of her and within her fingers is a little boy walking through the woods. The feel of the drawings is threatening, like she is hunting the small child.

She’s always waiting

A ✨fun✨ holiday themed drawing inspired by Icelandic folklore monstrosity Gryla. This drawing took me over a year to finish 🥲 I made so many changes to how she looked and the overgrown branches around her.
