Today is Harry Potter's birthday, so I thought it might be the appropriate time to share the Harry Potter art I got to do for the new doll packages! I loved getting to work on these! So much fun! Also, fun fact, Potter was the last name of my great grandmother in real life, so I feel a funny connection to this world. Happy birthday, HP! . . . . #harrypotter #spinmaster #wizardingworld #packagingart #illustration #vector #vectorartist #thisismyjob #freelancelife #kelleeriley #kelleeart https://www.instagram.com/p/CSAwsBYsHME/?utm_medium=tumblr

Too busy with work to participate in #Mermay this year, but it's always Mermay in my house it seems. At some point I swear, I will get these things listed up. As I have barely had time to even sleep a normal night so far this year, I'm way behind in even taking care of my own stuff. Hope everyone is well and see you on the other side! Whenever that may be! 🧜🏽‍♀️ #mermaidpindesign #pingamestrong #mermaidallday #kelleeriley #kelleeart #alwaysamermaid https://www.instagram.com/p/COY_XtHM4ZP/?igshid=jtvyk07zsy2i

Quick starts to Taurus and Cancer... small wind of inspiration last night when I couldn't sleep. Will I ever finish them? 🤷‍♀️ . . . . #zodiac #taurus #cancer #bull #crab #vector #art #characterdesign #justforfun #kelleeart #kelleeriley #inthestars #workinprogress https://www.instagram.com/p/CLroNyZFtE1/?igshid=15h9umcyfd45b

Just doing something quick to clear the fog. Inking is always calming to me. . . . . #zodiac #cancer #crab #inking #vector #justforfun #kelleeart #kelleeriley #characterdesign #adobeillustrator #calming #ineedsleep https://www.instagram.com/p/CLq11-dlyZq/?igshid=rtha37ai2vgx

Started this during the holiday really fast but had been too slammed to finish it. Finally just gave myself a few minutes to top it off. A little Soul version of me with my daughter because she is certainly the biggest part of my soul. 💗 . . . #pixarsoul #soulfanart #justforfun #character #doodle #digitalsketch #color #formydaughter #mysoul #cartoon #disney #pixar #kelleeriley #kelleeart https://www.instagram.com/p/CLgx8FllBt4/?igshid=1c9ukqr07pndd

When your photoshop file takes so long to save you pull out an old drawing to start reworking. I love and miss the feel of real paper so bad... . . . #oldcommission #ichthyocentaur #mermaidart #traditionalart #pencilsketch #fantasycreatures #kelleeriley #kelleeart #tonedpaper #changeofpace https://www.instagram.com/p/CLD3nLNlXpp/?igshid=1u39nwb6hfwqa

It's been such a crazy year I have had zero time to draw for myself. I feel completely rusty when it comes to non-work stuff and have about a zillion things on the brain to want to do, but can't seem to get anything out. So here's a random sketch of Amalthea just because...why not! 🤷‍♀️🦄 Hope everyone had a great Christmas! And hang on tight, folks! We are so close to getting out of this weird year! Hope everyone is safe and healthy!

So I finally got these books I did some illustrations for from Hinkler. I did the cover and a few extra illos on the inside. This is a great book for any unicorn lovers! 🦄 Happy coloring! . . . #unicorn #unicornlover #unicorncoloringbook #coloringpages #illustration #fantasyart #fantasycreatures https://www.instagram.com/p/CIoE9sGlLSP/?igshid=84jpdj57gz6p

Warmup! I'm trying to make myself take a tiny bit of time for myself now when I wake up just to get the cobwebs out for the day. Keeps me sane. 😬 I know I've tried before and failed, but hey, keep trying til it sticks, right? . . . #fairies #characterdesign #justforfun #kelleeart #kelleeriley #quicksketch #warmup #draweveryday #conceptart #dailydoodles https://www.instagram.com/p/CDyk3bilHk7/?igshid=6asjuekruzeb

Clearing cobwebs. Sorry there's nothing prettier to show at the moment! Should I make an account for just sketchdumps? Do people even like to see this kind of stuff? Lol 🤷‍♀️ Now back to weeeeerrrrk. . . . nonsense #sketchdump #mermaids #kiss #ugh #howisittuesdayalready #kelleeriley #kelleeart https://www.instagram.com/p/CDv-AVWlxCi/?igshid=1nhcn0u07ezwu

Sometimes my head is literally all over the place. Which results in this mess! 🤪 . . . . #sketchdump #clearingcobwebs #doodles #weirdstuff #kelleeriley #kelleeart #nomermaids https://www.instagram.com/p/CCx0akSlMVj/?igshid=1h7y7iobaay5

Quick #doodle . Haven't done this in forever and I feel rusty. Makes me wanna go make a flower bra now though. 🤔 . . . . #kelleeriley #kelleeart #quickie #quicksketch #centaurs #characterdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CCvcw96FJ_r/?igshid=qxw0kb4p1r8o

#FBF to one of my daddy/daughter mermaid pieces from 2018. I hope to have time to do a couple more for this year before Father's Day. I have always enjoyed doing mer people of all colors and my heart wants nothing more than to give everyone a big hug right now. I don't want to sound indifferent to the problems right now by simply going back to posting art. I have been researching a lot of stuff and want to do more to help, so bear with my slowness just a while longer! Love to all. Stay safe. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDoPFdFBE9/?igshid=1xe4htjq2afis

#stop #think #listen #stand I am the least political person I know, but my heart is broken for what is happening. We must do better. https://www.instagram.com/p/CA69aaYlor0/?igshid=1nnlz2nsyy3sd
