Peachtober Day 10 | Seagull 🤍

#peachtober #peachtober25 #peachtober25seagull #art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration
A digital illustration of a woman drawn from the chest up. She has long light brown hair and white skin. Her face is hidden behind a seagull-shaped mask and she's wearing a white feathery seagull costume. She's framed in a square and a small text under the illustration says: "October 11th - Seagull".

Day 07 | Quilt + 🌻
Maffeo and Piccolo (my two OCs) are playing with things ♞♞

I'll try to scan the drawings I make for the challenge, every 2 days, as the quality of my camera is still too :(( and I was wasting a lot of time “fixing” the lighting :[]
(for info, I'm doing #calmtober + #plantober)

My longlisted entry for the Folio Book Illustration Award.
Researched quite a few things that gross me out, namely eye injuries and insects😅. The spider is a jorō-gumo. V. pretty V. creepy😬.
Graphite drawing w/ digital colouring using Affinity Photo😊

An illustration of tangled thorns and insects in the evening blue light. A closer look reveals a scratched up hand reaching out and a partially hidden face with the eye scratched and blinded.

I’ve been regulating my nervous system this week and warming up for a commission with this new great-horned owl cut paper #collage. It’s likely one of the only #calmtober prompts I’ll get to, though I’m still enjoying everyone else’s illustrations! #watercolor #cutpaper #owl #calmtober25
Great Horned Owl art by Sadee Schilling rendered in watercolor and cut paper collage. The artist holds the finished assemblage with detailed, layered feathers and textured watercolor washes in earthy blues, violets, and browns. A watercolor painting of a tree in a similar color palette peeks out from behind the owl.

Hello everyone! Let me share my #calmtober entries so far.🍂
Cute minimal owl illustration, with round eyes staring at the viewer. On a photo background of a dark brown forest. Cute illustration of a black cat standing next to a smiling jack-o-lantern, on a photo background of a night scene in the woods. Cute minimal illustration of a quilt hung up to dry on a green hill before a cloudy sky with wind blowing and colourful dead leaves tumbling. Digital illustration of a black cat seen from the side, with his back arched, before a stormy purple sky in the background with a lightning striking in the middle of the frame.

C'est le Printemps !

(Depuis quelques jours déjà... 🤭)

#cuteart #spring
Gouache illustration of a cute sheep wearing a white, green and blue dress, a green bonnet and dusty pink low boots, standing in the middle of a lush green dreamy garden with huge pictures of dusty pink primroses here and there, and some forget-me-not flowers in the background. The sheep is smelling the scent of a bright yellow daffodil with a satisfied look on their face. At the top of the illustration are written the french words "C'est le Printemps !" which means "It's Springtime!".

Gouache illustration edited on computer showing a dark bedroom with only a ray of light lighting parts of the scene. In this thin ray, a dark mass with big round green eyes appears staring at us from under the sheets of a cozy-looking bed.
