Here’s a sketchbook spread featuring some Bullfinch study sketches, I also doodled a particularly nice looking tree that’s near my home and some moon phases. I haven’t seen any Bullfinches yet while I’ve been birdwatching here in the Brecon Beacons but I hope I will have them visit the garden sometime this spring. I would occasionally spot them in our Wiltshire garden and it was always such a treat to see them and their lovely pink chests!
Blush Brecon Beacons
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?
Tawny Owl - King of Daggers
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!
