I’m in th process of still trying to work out what I want to draw about. What kind of stories I want to tell...

I guess we’ll see what comes next.

I’m not sure many people know this about me, but I have had hearing problems all of my life. My hearing has got so bad over the last year and seeing various doctors has been a real nightmare. Because of COVID I have had to wait so long to see a specialist. Inside my head I’ve had pain and a constant feeling like I’m dying. It’s so strange to explain without sounding like a mad woman. So this sketch is just a reaction to how I have been feeling.

I don’t know about you guys but it always takes me so long to complete artwork. How do you guys do it? 🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . . . . #wip #wipart #wipartwork #whatamisserableday #witchyvibes (at Witch art pagan gems) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKTRq2nB5DT/?igshid=ubjj33tnqcuk

Forget Blue Monday! 🥶 
Let’s talk pink fairy Monday. Monday is just a day we have them every week. Plus I don’t know about you but I live in the UK so every Monday is cold and depressing. 🤪 
How has your Monday been? Be honest and I’ll try to cheer you up with a sprinkle of virtual fairy dust… 🧚‍♀️

🦩The Flamingo Saga🦩 - Remember last week I was inspired by the beautiful colours on the new David Attenborough show #aperfectplanet ? I just thought it would be pretty as some kind of fabric pattern that they might have used in the Tang Dynasty. - Who could forget those ugly stalks waiting to eat the babies? 😭 The circle of life is CRAZY! I guess covid is our ugly stalk at the moment picking off stragglers. BOO! - On a lighter note looking forward to the next episode of perfect planet tonight! Who’s watching it with me? . . . . . . #davidattenborough #tangdynasty #flamingos #flamingosaga #natureillustration #circleoflife #drawwhatyousee #historicalart #procreate #procreateart #ipaddigitalart #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #chineseart #chineseillustration #ipadillustration (at London United Kingdom - UK) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ37OOEhjeU/?igshid=6f63kufbnp8r

Did anyone watch the new David Attenborough last night and the whole flamingo saga? 🦩

I was just watching and the colours were beautiful I just had to use them!

🪶 Shedding 🪶

Out with the old and in with the new. Moving forward and all that jazz. I was never happy with the ‘Disney/cartoony’ style I was adopting. Didn’t feel like me. So this year I’m just going to try like I said in my last post ‘Do me’.

Having and art account is hard to keep up with constant posting. How do you guys do it? Any tips❔❓❔



Here you can see the process behind this piece. You can see I’m a very loose and messy sketcher. But I really like to try and sculpt the form before I make any commitments (sounds so serious🧐 ).

🎉 Happy New Year Everyone!🎉 We’ve all been counting down to this moment with the hope that we can put 2020 behind us. Unfortunately it’s not over and we can’t just clean the slate and start this year back to ‘normal’ again. 😫 . What did I do in 2020? I got scared and hit under a rock and essentially did nothing. A year of my life has just flown by the fastest it has ever been. And I’m sure it has been the same for a lot of you. So this year I have made a resolution to myself to essentially “Just do me”. And I urge you all to do the same. I’m not saying be selfish. What I am saying is to start reaching for those dreams of yours. Make those steps towards what you want to do. Lose those small rubbish resolutions of losing weight and cutting out cheese (you can do them along the way of the long term goal). Last year was an absolute sh!*er... make 2021 an achievement. . Would you care to share your goals for this year? 🥰 . . . . . . #lifegoals #resolutions #newyearresolution2021 #quotes #quoteoftheday #2021 #bringiton #begoodtoyourself #dreamhigh #reachforthosestars (at Hertfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJg8sXChZf_/?igshid=1jfu1nxot91pz

That’s it we’re officially in 2021. We made it!

It’s weird how crossing over into a new year feels like the world has reset... But in truth it hasn’t. Stay safe everyone and hopefully we can have our lives back. And more importantly hopefully I can see my grandparents soon. 🤞🏼

Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

I think this will be my last drawing of this year. I’ve spent a lot of this year hiding under a rock in fear of covid. But I’ve been thinking I definitely need to start drawing me and build up them skills. 🎨

I hope everyone is safe and have a happy new year!

Tried my first draw this in your style challenge. It was really nice not to think of my own ideas and just go with the flow. 💕

I made her to fit a mobile screen saver. So go ahead take her for your phone if you like.

My little contribution to mermay. They actually were really fun to do. Something to break up lockdown.
