Today’s cow is brought to you by me being So So Sleepy yesterday~ #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration #art #illustration #critterart

I realized I’ve been unfairly favoring ginger cows this Bovember, so here is a lovely brunette to make up for it. #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration #art #illustration #critterart

Cuddled up and sleeping cow~ #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration #art #illustration #critterart

Leaping cow! #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration #art #illustration #critterart

Loafing cow~ #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration #art #illustration #critterart

Today's cow, brought to you by crayons~ #Bovember #cow #cowart #cowillustration #crayons #ungulateart #art #illustration #drawing #animalart #animalillustration #bovines #bovineart #farmanimals #doodling

I don’t know about you, but when I watch cows graze, I wish I could eat big mouthfuls of grass too~ #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration #art #illustration #critterart

Little cow, little cow, contemplating a snack~ #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration #art #illustration #critterart

Remember, remember! The month of Bovember! A time to post cows and whatnot! I know of no reasons, why cows in all seasons, should ever be forgot! #Bovember #cows #cowart #bovineart #ungulates #drawing #sketching #sketchbook #coloredpencils #prismacolors #animalart #animalillustration

Here’s to hoping that your Halloween is filled with even a fraction of the mischief and fun that these little critters are having 🎃 #HappyHalloween #CritterArt #spookyseason #spooky #raccoon #cat #newt #lich #warlock #wizard #art #illustration #raccoonart #catart #newtart #watercolor

Goths got to stick together 💀 #unicornart #unicorns #crows #crowart #illustration #art #fantasyart #mythicalcreatures #fantasyequines #halloween #fallvibes #fallleaves #spookyseason #cuteanimals #watercolor #coloredpencil #unicornillustration

If you haven't taken your yearly frolic with the little creatures of the night, this is your reminder~ #unicorns #bats #unicornart #unicornillustration #art #illustration #watercolor #coloredpencil #equineart #fantasyart #batart #animalart #spookyseason #autumnvibes

Reminder that your local foxing society will be re-commencing their annual meetings this month! They meet from dusk to gloaming in the spooky, autumnal wood. This week’s topics of interest will be yowling, yammering, and, of course, yippering! #foxes #fall #spooky #foxart #kitsune #oilpainting

One last run with the friends of summer, as the sun starts to tilt away~ (this was a custom illustration from last year’s Kickstarter!) #horse #horseart #grasshoppers #nature #horseillustration #drawing #coloredpencils #ungulateart

I know in my heart that where I live we don’t get real fall weather until mid-November, but mentally, I am this pony. #pony #horse #horseart #fall #autumnvibes #pumpkins #ponyart #drawing #sketchbook #coloredpencils #animalart #illustration #art

He’s got his fall colors on~ #horse #horseart #equineart #fallvibes #autumnleaves #coloredpencils #drawing #illustration #art #horseillustration #nature #animalart

Though it’s still quite hot, I saw the first patches of goldenrod blooming along the road this week – almost time to break out my plaid flannels and dance with the scarecrows~ #fall #almost #autumnvibes #scarecrow #unicorn #unicornart #goldenrod #wildflowers #mythicalcreatures

Sometimes I just get a hankering to break out the Lisa Frank colors~ #horse #horses #coloredpencils #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #LisaFrank #art #illustration #horseart #horseillustration #equineart

They're not exactly your traditional herd-mates, but they all seem to love a good frolic in the meadow. #horse #butterflies #horseart #equineart #frolicking #nature #wildflowers #horseillustration #drawing #art #illustration #coloredpencils #horseillustration #ungulates #horses #animalart

While I recognize that it is currently 100 degrees outside, two weeks ago it rained and I got slightly chilly and that means it’s FALL! #fall #horse #fallvibes #farmhorse #horseart #coloredpencils #mice #hay #autumn #drawing #sketchbook #illustration #art #animalart #farmanimals #animalillustration

Some progress shots of the kitties form awhile ago~ #artprocess #workinprogress #illustration #coloredpencils #drawing #art #kittens #kitties #dragons #cats #dragonart #fantasyart #mythicalcreatures #catart #animalillustration

Guess what, it's more little guys! #griffon #griffin #gryphon #pegasus #sketchbook #sketching #sketch #drawing #pegasusart #griffonart #mythicalcreatures #fantasyequines #fantasycritters #fantasyart #art #illustration #horseart #equineart #coloredpencils #drawing

I went to an Urban Sketchers meet-up over the summer at a car and toy museum – found some excellently weird looking little guys in the toy section~ #sketching #urbansketchers #urbansketching #sketchbook #lifedrawing #vintagetoys #art #illustration #coloredpencils

Ok, your favorite dragon designs in media GO! (runner up medals to Nico Martlet's creations, Falcore and the dragons from that one spread in Graeme Base's Animalia)

Some teeny little animals for a future project – felt so nostalgic drawing these because the size reminds me of Pokemon sprites :p #illustration #slothbear #llama #camel #hyena #bongo #wildebeest #hartebeest #barbarylion #parrots #peacock #pheasants #frogs #civet #panthers #sambar #gemsbok #pirate

Little guy number eight, having a little nap – and that’s it! That’s all the little guys! It’s been a lovely Smaugust! #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #cutedragons #mythicalcreatures

Final week for my Kickstarter, Dragons: Wild and Domestic! Ends on August 31st at noon, so come get your dragons while they’re hot! (jk, dragons are always hot, and also some of the rewards will be available for late pledging :p) www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai... #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025

Little guy number seven - blue raspberry flavor! #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #cutedragons #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #coloredpencils #prismacolor

Little guy number six! Keep a close eye on this one, she will steal your socks. (Come to think, you better watch your toes, too.) #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #cutedragons #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart

Dragon conservation is a challenging field, requiring a variety of specialized tools: Fire retardant gloves. Fire retardant goggles. Fire retardant pants. Lots of aloe. Fire retardant shoes. Fire retardant socks... #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #kickstarter #artbook #dragonart

Little guy number four~ Why did little guy number five come before little guy number four you say? Well, it took me awhile to convince Four to come out. They’re a little…anxious around strangers. #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook

Little guy number five~ Don’t let those cloying eyes fool you, he has already been fed! #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #cutedragons #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #coloredpencils #prismacolor

Dragon ownership is a big responsibility. Owning a book full of dragons? Absolutely zero responsibility. The choice is clear– buy a dragon anyway. But if you’re having trouble sourcing a real dragon, you can buy this art book to tide you over until you find one: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai...

Little guy number three~ (quiet voices, he's a bit shy) #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #cutedragons #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #coloredpencils #prismacolor

Little guy number 2~ #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #cutedragons #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #coloredpencils #prismacolor

Little guy number one~ #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #dragonart #dragonillustration #art #illustration #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #cutedragons #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart #fantasyillustration #coloredpencils #prismacolor

100% funded in less than a week! Thank you guys so much for your support in bringing this book to life! So excited to get these dragons into your homes! *I am not liable for any damage to your knick knacks, sofas and carpets that may happen as a result #dragons #smaugust2025 #kickstarter #artbook

Wow, wow, wow! Just one day and already well over half way there! Thank you guys so much for your support! <3 #kickstarter #artbook #dragons #dragonart #book #writing #crowdfunding #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart #art #illustration #fantasyillustration

Kickstarter is live! Dragon goodies abound, so if you’re a dragon lover and looking to expand your hoard, do check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai... #dragons #smaugust #smaugust2025 #kickstarter #artbook

We’ve reached that time of the year where I just sketch lots of little guys because it’s too hot for me to think of what else to do~ #Jufly #pegasus #sketchbook #sketching #sketch #drawing #pegasusart #mythicalcreatures #fantasyequines #fantasyart

Just two more days until my Kickstarter launch! There will be prints! There will be pins! There will be custom art opportunities! Most importantly, there will be dragons! Launching Friday, August 1st, here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai... #dragons #kickstarter #artbook #fantasyart #dragonart

These little guys are available as a print in my shop now, so you can festoon your walls with the poor decisions of kittens and the humiliation of dragons! jaimiewhitbread.com/shop #dragons #cats #kittens #artprint #prints #fantasyart #mythicalcreatures #dragonart

Sketching griffons~ #griffons #gryphons #griffins #jufly #sketching #drawing #coloredpencils #prismacolors #illustration #mythicalcreatures #fantasyart #fantasycritters

The ethics of lung dragon ownership. Dragon conservation. The complexities of the knight-dragon relationship in a post-slaying society. These hard-hitting topics will be briefly touched on as an excuse to show pictures of adorable dragons in my upcoming art book! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai...

Watch out, I’ve started doodling Percherons again. #horses #percherons #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #coloredpencils #horseart #percheronart #drafthorses #prismacolors #equineart #ungulateart #artprocess #referencedrawing #art #illustration

I’ve been trying to write again after a long time away from it - also trying to convince myself that designing my characters is actually “writing” and not just an excuse to do anything but writing 🥲 #writing #notwriting #sketching #characterdesign #creaturedesign #dragon #monster

I swear I draw my best equines when they’re the size of postage stamps. #Jufly #pegasus #sketchbook #sketching #drawing #pegasusart #mythicalcreatures

Here there be dragons! I’m excited to announce that I’ll be launching another Kickstarter in August - Dragons: Wild and Domestic, an art book featuring my dragon-related art and lore! Sign up to be notified on launch day here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/jai... #dragons #kickstarter #artbook

If you want to make your backyard a safe haven for lesser dragons, you must keep a close eye on your pets. While it is unlikely that a curious kitten will be able to cause a dragon physical harm, the egos of these small wyrms are as fragile as they are beautiful. #dragons #dragonart #cats #kittens

I’ve heard that posting winged critters in July is a thing? Did I get that right? Doesn’t matter, doing it anyway. Weirdly I’ve never worked out a personal pegasus design, I always just slap big wings on a horse. #pegasus #sketchbook #sketching #drawing
