Look, I just really love pink, okay? Another part of the experimental limited palette sketchbook spread using acrylic and paint markers.

Here's something a little different from the same experimental #sketchbook page as yesterday - strawberries! (on the black square). I can't wait until they're in season, I loooove strawberries ~ 🍓

🌸 Part of a #sketchbook experiment back in March - I made a bunch of pink-grey paint shapes & filled them in with limited palettes. I must have been feeling spring colours for this one :) Paint markers + acrylic

🌠 Another part of my Spacegirls sketchbook spread from February, made with assorted paint markers, inks and pearlescent watercolours :)

[keh-arts]

✨ Well, I haven't produced new arts so have some more spacegirl experiments from my sketchbook a couple of months ago ~ You can see full large sketchbook spreads with close ups, materials and notes on my Patreon. I just posted this 'dreamy' double page with a retro-80s fantasy aesthetic in which I rediscover I love watercolours :)

💕 Here's a Space/Fantasy girly I finished not long before the con, who ended up becoming the 'face' of my artist's table. At some point the name 'February' stuck, and now I have to make a series of 12 month themed characters because that's the rules.

OH NO SEAGULLS D: Please enjoy the Malicious Sea Goose stickers I made for the con, frantically and at the very last minute - (Shop re-opening soon!)

Spectres. 💜🐱💜

Giant ghost cats. Seemed like a fun idea and I was right. Also spot the toe beans.

Really talented artist I met a SFS last weekend! :)

✨ I'm back from my travels + Sci-Fi Scarborough! I've been a bit quiet because we've been away for the past fortnight - we had a short trip over to the Lake District & then went to Scarborough (hometown!) to table at Sci-Fi Scarborough - my first convention since 2019! Thank you so much everyone who stopped by my table 💖 It was a tough couple of weeks because I did more than I've done in years, but I'm glad I did it!

🌸~ Breathe ~ 🌸 I've been checking back through older artwork to see what I hadn't posted. Here's another random elven princess I drew back in 2023. (I rarely title my artwork because I am rubbish at it ^^') Markers + Paint markers

⭐ An art experiment - attempt at holographic/iridescent clothing using paint markers on a blended glitter marker BG

[keh-arts]

A different kind of fantasy girl from my recent batch of finished work - cute elfgirl type. I really like her design so I might have to name her :)

[keh-arts]

✨ Been quiet for a minute, but back now with some kinda streetwise angel girl :) Paint markers + digital edit

[keh-arts]

✦ Here's today's Space Girl! Thinking of making her into some stickers :) | Paint Markers + Digital

[keh-arts]

✨ Another Space Girl - this one markers + paint markers on a digital BG :)

Something I've been wanting to do is work on mixed media sketchbook spreads in ONE sketchbook at a time rather than having random sketches spread out over a bunch of different sketchbooks (where I can't find anything!) & I finally started by sharing the first double page spread with my patrons! I'll be sharing parts of them online, but patrons will get the full spreads/pages. Available from the Patron Access Tier (£1) up. I'm needing to increase my Patreon prices in March so now is a good time to join as I'll be locking prices for existing patrons! -
