Here you will find my latest ideas and experiments.
Back in January I managed to identify my first Song Thrush in the garden! I really loved watching this particularly one hop about the floor and presumably looking for food, the cream colour of the chest with the brown markings make them look very sweet!
Due to their renowned song I thought that it would make for an appropriate portrayal of the Page of Cups which is also known for creativity, so I decided to illustrate this one perched along the edge of a chalice.
Here’s another landscape illustration featuring some of the mountains found in the Brecon Beacons. For this one I wanted to paint a more subtle sky when compared to the last landscape I drew, I’m also still really enjoying this blush pink colour!
If you want to know which Procreate brushes I used for the sky then you can find out in this post here. I could also make a separate post where I outline all my favourite Procreate brushes to use, if that’s something that any of you would be interested in?
This illustration is inspired by the Tawny Owl I often hear in my garden. I would love to actually see him one day, Tawnies are one of my favourite owls!
Following on from finding Tarot card archetypes within my illustrations, I decided I wanted to create this one with the intention of it having a King of Swords (or in this case, daggers) vibe. I’m particularly smitten with the crown of twigs and leaves I have drawn for him. The suit of Swords are normally associated with the element of air and intellect so I think it’s a good match for an Owl!
