Shrines always feel so enchanting and mysterious to me. Aged wood, tarnished paint, bleached cobbled stones, and ancient trees in the backdrop. I’ve always loved antiquities and vintage architecture. The marvel, that these buildings were once carved by human hands, not manufactured, and artificial, but authentic and loved. It gives life to things... Wish I could visit Japan again in the future! 🇯🇵 • • • #japan #shrines #inaritemple #temple #kitsune #inari #japanesetemples #japaneseshrines #art #artist #artwork #instaartist #instaartwork #instaart #artistsoninstagram #illustration #prints #design #digitalart #procreateart #procreate #antiques #vintage #authentic #handcrafted #handmade #arcitecturedesign #arcitecture (at New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTFG2PAKaH/?igshid=1lh37senmafxn

Some older art of mine that were perfect as stickers! I’m a huge fan of the older generations! Celebi and Ivysaur were drawn as a deck of cards set, which I’ve been on hiatus for a few years now lol, however, looking back on my older art is making me want to finish it for real.

Art process of the coral cactus Pegasus! One of my all-time favorite flowers are the night blooming Cereus flowers. They come in vibrant reds, violets, pinks, and opal white. I absolutely love them. ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ • • • #procreate #makingart #artprocess #arttutorials #art #artwork #sketch #doodlesketch #doodle #cereus #cactusflowers #desertflower #horse #pony #desertanimal #desertplants #digitalart #instaart #instaartwork #instaartist #childrensbook #illustration #childrensbookillustration #cactus (at Gorham, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu86UwAdga/?igshid=9vp1hj1i17fm

Art process of the ghost cactus colt! A rare cactus 🌵 This one was really fun to draw and color, probably my favorite one, since I’m a sucker for pink noses \(//∇//)\♡ • • • #bookillustration #childrensbooks #procreate #ipadpro #conceptart #digitalart #doodlesketch #doodles #sletches #art #artwork #instaart #instaartwork #instaartist #cactus #ghostcactus #desertplants #desertanimals #desert #pinknoses #horses #ponies (at Gorham, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsObRmBDjb/?igshid=1rvc2ghf41e60

Ghost cactus colt for you all today! A rare breed of cactus but still beautiful all the same! 🥰 This one I really enjoyed drawing ✍🏻 • • • #bookillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #conceptart #digitalart #doodlesketch #procreate #characterdesign #characters #desertplants #cactus #ghostcactus #desertanimals #horses #babyhorses #art #artwork #instaart #instaartwork #instaartist #instaartists #chibi #chibiart (at Gorham, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxpT0yWgQRg/?igshid=kd9q5n9dpav4

The art process of the cactus colt with the peacock flower wings. The next picture over is what this flower looks like and the vibrancy the colors have. Originally, I wanted his wings to BE a flower and I’m still dabbling with that concept (might do an actual sketch of it later) because it’d be cool... but as actual wings, it would function very poorly, which is the reason why I did not... hmm, it’s always a difficulty with fantasy... how much realism you want to use and how much you want to just throw away haha 😂 |(￣3￣)|♨︎ • • • #bookillustration #childrensbooks #conceptart #digitalart #doodlesketch #artprojects #artprocess #artinprogress #procreate #instaart #instaartist #instaartists #art #artwork #doodle #sketch #characterdesign #characters (at Gorham, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxpP-ZVgx1z/?igshid=18z4m2r3lg5m6

A little cactus Pegasus with flower wings~ 🌺 Some of the most beautiful flowers bloom from cactuses. They’re a few like the Cereus flower that only blooms at night and others that seem to have captured all the hues of warmth. This little colt has the wings of a peacock cactus flower, a very vibrant beautifully ornate blossom. • • • #cactusflowers #cactus #horsecolt #horse #desertflower #desertanimal #desertplants #digitalart #conceptart #bookillustration #doodlesketch #characterdesign #characters #childrensbookillustration #childrensbookart #procreate #instaart #instaartist #instaartwork (at Gorham, New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxm_klahYfN/?igshid=seoebzd46b4r
