See what I'm up to on Instagram

Feeling sleepy and going to cuddle up with a nice hot water bottle tonight while the family is out watching the fireworks. This little guy is taking a nap too. He is part of a series of kids character drawings I've been creating recently - more to come. How was your weekend? Did you go out see the fireworks or do you rather stay warm at home?

A glimpse behind the scenes - I wanted to share a bit of the process of this illustration published in @illustoria_mag black and white issue. Swipe to see more.

When I first saw the theme for the issue, I wanted to do something about old black and white photography. After putting some ideas to paper, I knew that I found something that resonates, made me smile and remember my family photos, and I felt that people can relate to these often imperfect pictures that we cherish nonetheless.
Then I enlarged my sketches with my printer and started to refine the rough first drafts. Once I was happy with them, I used my lightpad (like a thin lightbox) to trace the sketch and create the final images.
And after scanning and some editing, the illustrations were ready to be sent off to hopefully bring a smile to wonderful faces.
I hope you enjoyed this little look behind the scenes. And please check out the wonderful work Joanne and her team at ILLUSTORIA are doing for creative kids and their grownups 😊

It arrived 😍 I can still hardly believe it. I had the honour of being published in issue #7 @illustoria_mag and I'm so happy to share this beauty of a magazine for creative kids and their grown-ups with you. The magazine is full of gorgeous illustrations, stories, DIYs, and more - everything a creative heart desires, young or still young at heart. The cover was illustrated by one of my favourite illustrators @rebeccagreenillustration and I loved reading her interview in the magazine this morning. Thank you so much Joanne and the team at ILLUSTORIA for the opportunity. The handwritten thank you card was the icing on the cake.
PS: For those who are curious, I will share the process of making the small comic I created for the magazine next week :) #womenwithpencils #illustration_daily #womenwhodraw #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #freelanceillustrator #dowhatyoulove #instaartist #instaart #drawing #drawdaily
