Today’s doodle was focused on a rattlesnake. I love when your pet can also be an accessory.#lillasstyleplay2025 #highfashion #ink #doodle #rattlesnake #watercolor #vintageclothes #illustrator #kidlit @makeartthatsells @nullsie @lydia.w.graves @illustrate_this_life @antlerwildlingart @tamisha.anthony

I had a lot of fun reimagining a queen of pentacles tarot card. My take has a decisive sweet feel to it. She is tied to nature and abundance. Waking up my creative brain one doodle at a time. #tarot #queenofpentacles #drawingchallenge #womenwhodraw #pencilartwork #watercolor #kidlitillustrator

This is a PSA from your friend here with a broken foot. Celebrate anyway that you are able to move today, on feet, on wheels, on crutches, on your hands and knees. Just keep smiling and moving one foot in front of the other. This image is from one of my newest titles God Made Me Good.

The cell phone doodle became an image I couldn’t let go! Here’s to the past and future of reading or listening to your books. #lillasstyleplay2025 #cellphones #books #reading #kidsbooks #kidlit #watercolor #treehouse #bookclub #artist #illustrator #lovemyjob @makeartthatsells

Thinking today of the impact of art. It’s a happy place for me to create and hopefully a happy place for those who see my books. This is an image from school Makes You Super written by Haley Hernandez. #arttherapy #happiness #artist #art #kindness #womenwhodraw #childrensbooks #create

Just sketching today an idea that started with just drawing a cell phone. Made me think of all those annoying times when all you want is quiet. I will keep working on this doodle to see where it goes. #lillasstyleplay2025 #cellphones #quiet #books #reading #sketching #lovemyjob #makeartthatsells

One of the hardest things for an illustrator is to capture an expression in very few lines. Today’s doodle prompt is five different noses. #lilasstyleplay2025 #faces #noses #drawingchallenges #womenwhodraw #makeartthatsells #creativehappylife @makeartthatsells

When a drawing prompt says pink platforms I immediately think of my favorites. Can’t wait to wear them and walk! #brokenfoot#lillasstyleplay2025 #drawingchallenges #chucktaylors #pink #platforms #doodle #creative #illustrator #womenwhodraw #arttherapy #makeartthatsells

Another day another doodle, the focus is a 1940s floral chair . I couldn’t help but think of who would be sitting in it. #lillasstyleplay2025 #forties #beingcreative #kidlitillustrator #womenwhodraw#drawingchallenges #makeartthatsells@nullsie @lydia.w.graves @illustrate_this_life @antlerwildlingart

There is something so satisfying about studying a real object and then translating it to paper. Who doesn’t love a good sardine can! #lillasstyleplay2025 #havefun #create #sardine #pattern #makeartthatsells #kidlitillustrator @nullsie @lydia.w.graves @illustrate_this_life @antlerwildlingart

A broken foot and a looming deadline has me posting these doodles a bit late! Today’s theme was a candy bar from another country. #lillasstyleplay2025 #becreative #havefun #befearlesslyauthentic #create #chocolate #womenwhodraw #drawingchallenges #makeartthatsells #greatbritain #uk #illustrator

A little morning brain wake up! I will be posting a morning doodle every day to play with my style, some new brushes and have a bit of fun. #lillasstyleplay2025 #becreative #havefun #befearlesslyauthentic #create #kidlitillustrator #lovemyjob
