Russian Illustration/ Foxes

For my current university project I will be looking at Russian Children's Illustration and Animal Illustration. I found these two lovely blog posts combining two of my favourite things - Russian Illustration and FOXES.
Wonderful examples of artwork here and I now know a few more names than I did before!

First Digital Painting - Fox and Wolf


I finished the digital painting I started a few weeks ago tonight. It's still quite crude but not bad for one of my first attempts. Hopefully I'll improve with time. For now I still prefer fineliners and paper!

"To My Deerest" Valentine's Day Card - Finished Product

Posted this out to my friend earlier so she can give it to her fella tomorrow :)
I hate that my printer is the worst but I still think it came out quite well, and I really liked the simple heart design to spice the envelope up a bit.

First Experiences With A Tablet

Today my Wakom Bamboo arrived in the post and I've had a play around today. I'm hoping once I get to grips with it, that it will speed up my process when editing scanned images and I hope to be able to create images digitally too. I've begun on a piece depicting a wolf holding a fox in a dreamy lalala landscape. Below are printscreens of my background , linework for my characters, base colours for my characters, shading for my characters and all layers together for my characters.

Considering it's my first time using one and I'm a technophobe - I'm not doing as bad as I thought I would be!




"Worship/Destroy" Valentine's Day Cards

Here are some Valentine’s Day card designs I have made for the less /aromantic and more sexually orientated of us.
They’re designed to go in pairs and there are four designs to suit both hetero/queer couples.
