"In the same way your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you don't, then it doesn't." -Brennan Lee Mulligan

Pass it along, let’s see your PFP in its full sized glory! (I had to google what a pfp is because I’m not with it anymore TTuTT )

Show your range! 💀🦔

Pretty delightful that my birthday is also Pokemon day. Also my two year old nephew calls this one beanasaur. #pokemonday #venusaur

5 authors you’ve read 5+ books by Terry Pratchett Becky Chambers Diane Wynne Jones Stephanie Stiefvater TJ Klune

This is what I get for putting the radiator under my desk so I don’t freeze while I paint… no room to paint. Like flies to honey. They’re so dang cute. #cats

With quite literally everything being on fire these days, instead of doubling down on doom-ism, I've weirdly doubled down on gratitude. Gratitude towards the fact that I got to experience so much beauty. Games, movies, comics and so on crafted by passionate, real people.

I did not finish my #hourlycomicsday26 comics but I did try 1/2 #hourlycomics

Desk cats are a requirement for good art making. #cat #art #artist #desk

Through the Ivy, gouache. I spent probably 20 hrs on this one, it was a delight to get lost in! #gouache #dryad #fantasyart #fairyart #painting

5 jobs I’ve had: Front desk of the public pool Coffee shop barista Dollar general assistant manager Vinyl lettering at a sign making company Book seller at local small bookshop

Oh no! We’re about to be snowed in for the weekend? Wherever shall I do?

Delightful little work in progress on the desk that I have been way too busy to hyper-fixate on like I’ve wanted to. In other news, I think I want a wolf cut. #wip #gouachepainting #gouache #painting #art #fantasyart #fairyart

I’m now a two desk gal. I feel so luxurious.

Got a couple sketches in the queue for painting! My iPad pencil broke so whole waiting for a replacement I get to ignore commissions and play for a bit while I wait for the replacement to arrive. #sketchbook #fairyart #wip #art #artist #fantasyart

Quote with your horn art!

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you!

Keep a “secret” sketchbook that really is just for sketching and not for sharing on social media. Make it messy, copy other people’s art, and draw from life. It’s just for you, just for practice! (Don’t be intimidated by what some people call sketchbooks that are filled with insta-worthy work.)

Artists! Quote with your most detailed art! (Detailed is kind of my *thing* this was a really hard choice!)

Tis #portfolioday ! My name is Lara Jean and I live in the realm of all things whimsical! I write and illustrate and I do lots of custom work. I have two self published children’s books and have worked on two illustration projects with clients. Full info on my website! www.larajeandoodles.com

EVERYONES PORTFOLIOS ARE SO GOOD YOURE ALL DOING GREAT

What four classic video games do you find yourself replaying no matter how old they are?

Whisper of the Heart, because it was my first ever Ghibli and I saw it as a 12 year old cat obsessed writer and it GOT ME.

Just a few days into 2026 and I’m already way off the intended track. I found an old project I’m now fixated on finishing real quick before I start the three projects I’m actually supposed to do. But hey, I’m inspired! #illustration #shootingstar #art #artist #cuteart #cozyart #procreateart

Spent some time in my sketchbook yesterday! I need to learn to draw flowers better apparently lol #sketchbook #unicorn #fantasyart #art #artist

Show your range as an artist! 🎨

QRP to reintroduce yourself! Hi I’m Lara Jean, I make whimsical illustrations with gouache or procreate. I hope you feel cozy here and want to know the rest of the story.

This comic is actually about how amazing healing is and how humor helps. Sometimes our bodies are so used to being disregulated that being regulated feels wrong and we chase the high of stress. I’m on this journey and learning what safe feels like! #comic #mentalhealth #ifs #anxiety

Welcome winter ❄️ may we all stay cozy and restful from now until spring. #wintersolstice #procreateart #art #artist #gnome #fairy #cuteart #cozyart #illustration #snow

The Oak Tree Resident. My most recent finished gouache painting. I went nuts with the details in this one! Twas fun! #gouache #oaktree #art #artist #illustration #fantasyart

AY FOLKS anyone have font packs for adding to procreate they recommend? Looking for just a big mixed bag kind of thing. Free or to buy, either is fine! #procreate #font #procreatefont

Art vs artist 2025! #artvsartist25 #artvsartist #art #artist #illustration #gouache

It’s fine, we’re all fine, everything genuinely is fine. Be Kind to Me is getting a glow up and it’s almost done guys! And NOTHING GOT LOST

The glamorous process of editing for a self published book. Actually my OCD finds this extremely satisfying. Will I finally publish the book in 2026?!?! Stay tuned to find out!!!

It’s the time of year I can safely take my kitties for walks out in the woods. They go nuts for it. I do too. #theartist #cats

Quote your art with glasses on! Despite being an oft bespeckled human myself, I almost never draw characters with glasses and didn’t realize! Must remedy. This is an oldie.

I’ve been drawing since I was little. At 13 I found Amy Brown, learned painting faeries for a living was an option, and became dead set on it. Was told to get a business or teaching degree and ignored all of it and just learned fine art. Then after some stumbles I refound my love of making books!

A wee little brush for wee little details. #gouache #painting #wip #art #artist

Got a delightfully surreal email yesterday from a previous client asking if I had any originals available. Of which they then bought THREE. I feel like a Renaissance Era Artist, thanking my Wealthy Patron for their generous support of my work. #art #gouache #fantasyillustration #cuteart #painting
