Gave myself some time to do some painting the other day and I'm really pleased with what came of it 😊 Watercolour with white gouache and plenty of pencil over the top for texture and definition. #Tundra #illustration #painting #art #kidlitart

7k WOOO!! Congratulations! Hi I'm Emily, an artist from the UK. My thing is fantasy, folklore and fairytales and I created a world called Strangehollow. Here's one of my more recent dragon paintings :)

It's little me! ✨ Celebrating who I was a kid, in all her weird and wonderful glory, by drawing little me surrounded by the beasts and creatures that I was utterly obsessed with at that age (nothing has changed since then, honestly...) #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration

If you see this, post a witch!

Hi folks! I'm Charli, an illustrator in publishing with a love for stories about adventures in nature, social inclusivity, and encouraging readers to embrace and celebrate their individuality. I'm looking for work at the moment, so any shares or engagement would be *super duper* appreciated! ✨😁

Right-wing freaks use the word 'Woke' instead of the classic Nazi 'Degenerate' to describe good things for two reasons; its easier to spell, and it allowed them to steal something from black people.

Where my lore started:

Pinterest really bloody gets me.

Thank you for such a kind and lovely blog post about our new book! 🦎✨

Salamander Song is out now! I am so incredibly proud of this project. Extra special thank you to Ginny for her beautiful story and AD @joewillhatch.bsky.social for being a legend to work with. Pick up a copy from your local indie bookshop or anywhere that isn't Amazon! 🤘🦎 #kidlit #kidlitart #books

Help an artist pay his bills, take a look at my shop! ✨👁️ i got prints, stickers and original art! #artsky #blueskynightmarket #art ko-fi.com/scarycircus/...

My capacity for drawing has been drastically low for months, but something that rarely fails to get me creating something is #ParisPaloma lyrics and songs. Had a bunch of fun making this one into a book cover.

Borrowed my partner's fancy camera and took some photos of my goblin, Boba the podenco 🧡 #adoptdontshop #podenco

QRP with something watery 🐊 🌿 #kidlitart #illustration

Preorder this Tilbury title now, official release coincides with BIG night springtime activities happening now. #kidlit #salamanders

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

Sneak peak at one of my favourite pages from Salamander Song, written by Ginny Neil and illustrated by me! 🦎 I loved working on this project so dang much. Releasing on March 18th, pre-order at your local indie bookshop or here: www.hive.co.uk/Product/Ginn... #kidlit #illustration #kidlitart

I know you're probably just being facetious but busting out the chart in case it helps anybody

Love seeing this kind of peaceful paleo art 🧡

Excellent ref resource for my fellow animal artists!

For the last few years I've been writing a graphic novel about a little girl called Tundra who journeys through trauma recovery through the narrative lens of folklore and forest dragons. Here's the cover ☺️❄️ No release or publisher yet, but wanted to share it anyway!

❓ Question for artists: Is Behance worth investing any time in any more? I know Adobe is trash and has done our industry so dirty, but I just don't know whether Behance is used by ADs or audiences worth getting in front of? I have an ancient Behance profile, wondering if it's worth reviving.

Sending this message out to everyone who needs or wants it 🧡 And also saying that I am unequivocally and forever in support of every marginalised community targeted by bigotry, hatred, and prejudice. Love and solidarity to all my fellow outcasts. Stay vocal and check in on your friends.

Little portfolio piece I finished up today ☺️ Part of a non-existent story about a fox learning how to 'draw' from watching a little girl #illustration #kidlit

So excited to finally share this project cover! I've had the pleasure of illustrating this beautiful story following salamanders throughout the seasons and some creative kiddos who help them along the way. Publishing with Tilbury House and releasing in March 🌿✨ #illustration #kidlit

The world is a difficult place to be positive in right now, but art, creatures, and stories still exist no matter what 🧡 Here's a dragon who will help to guide you through this first chapter of the year. Put him in your pocket and he'll give you tiny high-fives if you're feeling lost.

Wee bit late but hi #portfolioday! I'm Charli, an illustrator and writer working in publishing and other fun character based things. I love stories with weird creatures, bold colours, and unique messy kids going on adventures ☺️

I will always be happy to post ghost 🧡

We are back tonight! New Year, new adventures! We are really looking forward to seeing you all 7pm tonight live on Twitch! Links in the bio... or in our stories! #dungeonsanddragons #tabletoproleplaying #dnd #ttrpg #actualplaypodcast #actualplay #dnd5e #newepisode #livetonight

Just a little reminder because sometimes I need to hear it... Sometimes your passions should remain your passions... Not everything you enjoy needs to be continually documented and monetised. Keep some things in your life that are for you and your joy.

Hello, friends! 🧡 Going to relaunch my effort to be more active on here, so I'll begin with a reintroduction - I'm Charli (she/her), an illustrator and writer who loves strange creatures, unique stories, and powerful messy characters. I work mostly in publishing, which I *adore*. 1/3

So excited to finally share this project! Earlier on this year I had the pleasure of fully illustrating a beautiful book of Greek mythology for Penguin RH (Z Kids Imprint) written by L.J. Tracosas ✨ Preorder here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/736933...

I really dig dark fantasy and I try to explore different styles as I create my stuff

I drew a building. *On purpose.* I never draw buildings, but this one was one that I adored drawing. It's the lakeside house in my graphic novel, Tundra. Turns out the way to get me to draw buildings is make sure they're on stilts, in a cold place, and surrounded by pine trees.

Gonna be sending out a fresh newsletter soon! Sign up here: ✨ eepurl.com/hK8o-P ✨ It'll have: illustrations, insights, updates, and a cute picture of my dog in there somewhere.

Been playing with colour and texture for my graphic novel TUNDRA again. Really pleased with how these ghosty wee friends turned out ✨

My dino Aisling! 🤘🦖
