I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. 🍂

- Anne of Green Gables

Anne Shirley illustration for all the fall vibes 🤭

I’ve been really liking this new mixed media approach with my recent artworks. The line art is done traditionally with pencil on paper, and then I import it to procreate to add the color wash!

Welcome Autumn 🍂

A few recent autumn themed illustrations! My favorite season to get inspired 🍁

[laurenillustrated]

A Wrinkle in Time

I know this is a very niche fanart 😅 This has been my favorite book since I was 13. I related to Meg Murry so much, between her personality and her unmanageable wavy mousy brown hair lol.

Now as an adult I’m finally reading the rest of the series!

Pride and Prejudice Art

A few recent scene redraws from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film! One of my favorite movies ever.

Prints available in my shop!

I’ve been on a big Jane Austen kick this year and currently reading my way through all the books! So far I’ve read Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, and I’m almost finished with Northanger Abbey!

American Girls! ★

I drew 10 of the original historical American Girls in my style! This was a fun little fan art series in between my other illustrations 🤭

In order: Felicity and Josefina, Kirsten and Kaya, Molly and Kit, Addy and Samantha, Julie and Rebecca.

A little update

I haven’t posted on Tumblr in like over 6 months. I just kept forgetting to share on here and then eventually stopped all together… lol

BUT! I plan to hopefully share my work on here again, mostly any fan arts I make (which is not as often these days)

Also so sorry about missing all of the messages 😅 for those asking, all of my commission info can be found on my website!

ALSO also wanted to say I started a substack! I’m not sure exactly what type of content I will be sharing over there yet, probably longer more in depth posts about random topics or interests that come to mind! (linked in website)

Anyway, if you want to stay up to date I am much more active on instagram!

Recent me moments

My sewing machine broke… but I found a vintage one at the thrift store!

Chilling with my dog in nature.

My drawing corner on a rainy day.

Now I can sew the puff sleeves of my dreams

A little FAQ’s post!

“Can I use your art for profile pictures?”

Yes that is fine! I would appreciate credit in the bio! (example: pfp by @laurenillustrated)

“Do you take requests?”

Technically, no. I don’t take requests. Although if I see a mention of a story or characters that I like it’s possible that they might appear in my sketches or illustrations! I actually have a list of many book characters I want to get to that people happen to comment as well 😂

“What digital brushes do you use?”

For procreate I use Old Beach, 6B Pencil, and my own brushes from my brush pack! (Linked in bio)

“When will you draw more _____?”

If you’ve followed me for a particular fan art or subject I’m sorry to disappoint 😂 All of my fan art works are very random and come and go with whatever inspires me at that moment.

“What inspired your art style?”

Currently my works are very inspired by vintage children’s and editorial illustration! Specifically 1920s to 1960s.

Some of my favorite illustrators include: Norman Rockwell, Harry Beckoff, Maurice Sendak, Earl Oliver Hurst, Cicely Mary Barker, and Jessie Willcox Smith!

Peanuts sketches!

In my Charlie Brown era I guess lol
