Inktober - Enchanted 🧙🐸 I'm really enjoying Inktober this year and I'm feeling so much better since I'm not stressing myself out with doing a drawing every day. I also think keeping to some set characters is fun and a great little adventure too! - - - #inktober #inktober2019 #drawing #draw #ink #inkpen #penandink #art #artist #illo #illustration #illustrator #painting #watchthisspace #watercolourartist #foxesofinstagram #childrensbookillustration #parkerink #artwork #smallbusiness #shopsmall #writingprompt #drawingprompt #drawingchallenge #prompt #inkdrawing #ninawithapencil #NWAPinktober2019 @parkerpen (at Cornwall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cpaqrnwDZ/?igshid=s88qzxpxmjej

Inktober Day 1: Fall/Autumn 🍂🍁 So here's day one! You are going to see a lot of these characters over the next month 😊 I might end up working back into this at some point over the month but we shall see!

Stars ✨ As this Kylie lyric is one of my favourites and I did the original piece about a year ago, I thought it was time for a redraw. Swipe for the comparison. I think my night skies have come so far in a year and there's so much more detail now. - - - #drawing #draw #watercolour #watercolor #art #artist #illo #illustration #illustrator #painting #watercolourartist #creative #design #drawn #artwork #smallbusiness #shopsmall #instaart #stars #starconstellation #sky #nightsky #starrysky #supportindependent #artistoninstagram #galaxy #artistprogression #kylieminogue #starsdontshineinsingularplaces #kylielyrics (at Lichfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3C3rU6nvBc/?igshid=15dx071u5qqm2

They're here!! 🗓️ I've finally finished them and I'm so proud of them. Here are my two 2020 wall calendars, now available on my Etsy store.

Starting the new year! 📆 Whether you are staring school, university or back to work, get organised ahead of the new year with one of my calendars. I have 10% of all my academic wall planners, including the new design I've just added, until bank holiday Monday. Because who doesn't enjoy getting organised with new stationary, am I right?! - - - #drawing #draw #watercolour #watercolor #art #artist #illo #illustration #illustrator #painting #watercolourartist #stationaryaddict #stationary #smallbusiness #shopsmall #instaart #stars #starconstellation #supportindependent #artistoninstagram #planner #wallcalendar #academiccalendar #planner #wallplanner #studygram #backtoschool #unilife #organisedlife #university (at Nina with a Pencil) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Rae2CnyBJ/?igshid=r3gcn2m9nuo0

Drawing adventure ✏️ I managed to find a bit of sun amongst the clouds to go on a little drawing adventure. Doing this is something that massively improves my drawing skill and really reminds me why I love doing it so much. I challenged myself to draw everyone that walked past with no editing afterwards which I would recommend to anyone wanting to improve! - - - #drawing #draw #watercolour #watercolor #art #artist #illo #illustration #illustrator #painting #watchthisspace #watercolourartist #creative #design #drawn #print #smallbusiness #sketchbook #outandabout #drawingadventure #observationaldrawing #lovewhereyoulive #britishsummer #outandabout #summertime #observationalsketches #drawingnature #drawingoutside #lovenature #britishwildlife (at Tamworth, Staffordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MWi3Pgdrx/?igshid=1081aupj0d99m

Party animal! 🐾🐶🎉 After you lovely people said you would like to see an update of my old 'party animal' drawings, I worked on this little guy. He looks so happy! Would you like to see him in a print or a card? - - - #drawing #draw #watercolour #watercolor #art #artist #illo #illustration #illustrator #painting #watercolourartist #artwork #smallbusiness #shopsmall #childrensbookillustration #parryanimal #dogsofinstagram #dogdrawing #awesomedogs #dogillustration #colouredpencil #supportindependent #artistoninstagram #childrensillustration #cuteanimals #animalillustration #doggo #celebrate #animaldrawing (at Lichfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HcXVxnmZB/?igshid=g4bv2tqrvc4i

Busy busy! ✏️ Between picking up some extra shifts at work, going away last weekend and juggling all my other jobs, I haven't had much time to give to drawing. I find it particularly hard to get into my work when I know I only have an hour or so to do it, does anyone else feel that? Hopefully I'll manage to get a bit of time this week to get my 2020 calendars sorted as well as a few other bits! - - - #drawing #draw #watercolour #watercolor #art #artist #illo #illustration #illustrator #painting #watercolourartist #meettheartist #artistsofinstagram #smallbusiness #shopsmall #instaart #instaartist #sunsetsofinstagram #stars #starrysky #starrynight #constellations #orca #whale #savetheplanet #savetheocean #galaxy #animals #whalesofinstagram (at Lichfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1DwF39g4F4/?igshid=1r9jgyiir60gd

Looking back ✏️ I love looking back through my sketchbooks as it reminds me of old techniques, shows me how I've improved and areas that I still want to work on. I fell in love with this page again which I really didn't like at the time. There's just so much more energy that you capture when you draw from life - - - #drawing #draw #watercolour #watercolor #art #artist #illo #illustration #illustrator #painting #watercolourartist #creative #design #drawn #print #artwork #smallbusiness #shopsmall #animals #instaart #instaartist #artoftheday #sketchbook #sketch #sketchaday #drawn #observationaldrawing #fisherman #people #study (at Lichfield) https://www.instagram.com/p/B09KTqXHWZK/?igshid=7y38hwxg2r7d
