Sketchbook Ideas

My little #dancingqueen absed on a #statue from 475 BC Cyprus at the Ashmolean Museum. In the midst of this lockdown, it's been so difficult to make time to do the one thing that I would like to do all the time. Today I carved some time out. Not sure how often I will be able to do this, but I'm hoping once we all settle in a routine and feel well, things will get easier. I don't mind staying at home - I do mind not being able to create. Does this resonate wih anyone? #monoprinting #monoprint #monotype #illustration #isolationcreation #createtoconnect https://www.instagram.com/p/B-F4kEHBpxC/?igshid=1041se10n6su1

I've been doing lots of #characterdrawings lately. This one is of a Hungarian children's book illustrator, Laszlo Reber, whose work I grew up on. Only lately I realised how much influence he's had on me - his name is #LaszloReber. He was a  javelin thrower originally and became a self-taught #illustrator at a Russian forced-labour camp. He was the sole illustrator of Eva Janikvszky's books. Although his style is very different to mine, I can see his thinking coming through in my own personal work. // #characterdrawing #characterdesign #portraitillustration #drawing #art #sketch #digitalart #artist #illustration #character #artwork #characterart #sketchbook #katilacey https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu5_2XklpXb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sz2b2jzkss44

This illustration is a little birthday present for my mum - this is her #bird, Csipike, a black headed #caique, who can be quite naughty at times. #illustration  #digitalillustration  #animalillustration #wildlife #wildlifeillustration #parrot #parrotillustration // #drawwhatyoufeel #expressiveshapes #animals #animalsofinstagram #sealifeillustrator #texture  #textures #textureart #editorialillustration #bookillustration #katilacey https://www.instagram.com/katilacey/p/Bs8UgWUDDs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=an6j4tacdu04

I've been working quite intensely on my process to find the a way to retain the right amount of #handdrawn feel of my drawings. I found the simplicity of this #lemontree beautiful and so I had to create an #illustration based on it. // #lemontreeillustration #foodillustration #illustratedfood #lemon #🍋 #lemontree #lemontree🍋 #foodillustrator #texture  #textures #textureart #editorialillustration #bookillustration #katilacey https://www.instagram.com/katilacey/p/BsfqLGZD6VU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gxs39048ngi6
