The sun helped me photograph some sketchbook studies yesterday 🌞 #sketchbook #traditionalart #markers #acrylicpainting

First butterfly of the year in our garden, brimstone. And the first bees and ladybirds have been appearing too 🐝🦋🐞💚

In the spirit of my last posts - tomorrow is my birthday and what I'd like to ask for is for you to share something you've made with me! Here's some of my own art to start things off, but it doesn't have to be like that. Crafts, photos, music, writing... all counts... but it has to be from YOU

I've been spending my spare time doing ceramics and music production over the last few months and learning how to make things in new ways is just so endlessly rewarding. It's hard work but even as a beginner, when you end up with tangible things that you learned how to make yourself, it's amazing.

Snowdrops 🌱

My first surface pattern design ➡️ my favourite! My favourite here may be a few years old now, but it makes a perfect comparison because it was such a huge turning point for me. The cherry pattern was fun but it wasn't really "me". I didn't have a strong sense of the kind of art I wanted to make.

I've wanted to rebuild my portfolio site for ages as it's never been exactly how I wanted, but it's quite the task since I'm basically re-doing it from scratch - but I'm finally making headway with it and it feels good to be doing something challenging... need to keep expanding my brain 🧠

I'm enjoying this a lot, and it seems like I'm in a good place :)

QRP with your flower art 🌻

These are not concrete goals, but this year I really want to improve my art and to make more traditional work, the two of which go hand-in-hand, I think. I'm a little out of practice but I really have the drive at the moment to experiment with different media so I'm following that!

Trying out acrylic markers (and a bit of alcohol marker) for the first time with these sketchbook doodles! Dreaming of green at new year... hope you all have a good one.

Here's my #artsummary for 2025! Despite everything, I seem to have ended the year in a pretty good place. I'm taking some time to rest for now but I'm feeling more positive about my direction than I did a few months ago. Wishing you all the best for the new year too.

Winter forest ❄️ I'm not ready for autumn to be over but we've had the first frost here now, so I think it's time to share this pattern I've had in the works for a while.

It's been a long time but I haven't given up on drawing all of the FFXIV city states... 👀
