#kidLitArt #illustration

In a spooky night-time scene, a girl - approximately 14 with shoulder-length brown hair and wearing jeans and a denim jacket - crouches on a dirt driveway and looks behind her in consternation. Behind her is a large dark house with peaked gables and spiky points sticking out of the roof and a tall tower. The top floor of the tower is lit - the only illumination in the house - and a figure is silhouetted in the window. Behind the house are fir trees and a huge full moon. the entire scene is in spooky greens and blues.

An illustration of a hippopotamus ice skating in the Olympics. She's got a lovely lavender dress on with lots of sparkly sequins on it. She looks very graceful and happy.

A panicked apprentice witch (she's human, with pink hair, glasses, and light academia clothing) makes a mess of her cauldron while being calmy advised by an older, wiser witch (who is a bear.) Aside from the exploding cauldron, the browns of the scene make it warm and cozy.

Hi #portfolioday ☀️

I’m a Polish illustrator & 2D game artist. I create in traditional & digital media, usually celebrating nature or small moments of everyday life. I love to encourage my fellow artists, and hope to teach art one day 🌱

☕️ My shop with wallpapers & prints: ko-fi.com/vexnir/shop

Digital illustration, Pokémon fan art. The artwork depicts a pond filled with lily pads, and in the middle of it, Ludicolo is sitting with a happy expression and a cup of green tea in its hands. One Lotad is floating next to it in the water, and two more are playing around on top of Ludicolo’s hat.

Digital illustration of my OC Xepher holding a baby goat. The goat is brown and white, and it’s snuggled up to Xepher’s face. He is wearing an oversized, orange sweater. They’re standing on a meadow filled with yellow flowers. Hills and trees can be seen on the horizon, under blue sky with a big, fluffy cloud.

Mixed media traditional drawing of a green field on a bright summer day. Blue cows are grazing in the grass. There’s a big fluffy cloud over the field, and the sky is deep blue. There’s a pattern of scribbly 4-pointed stars below the main drawing.

Traditional drawing in mixed media of a white cat with a yellow straw hat sitting inside a blue cardboard box. It’s surrounded with other boxes full of oranges. The drawing is framed with doodles of oranges above and below the main artwork.
