New hat has landed! It’s available for pre-order ✨ ruthsshop.com/products/rav... (Pre-orders come at a discounted price AND a free matching sticker) #art #illustration #cap #capdesign #embroideredcap

More crows, because I feel I’ve barely shared any recently. 👀 #art #painting #gouache #illustration

Need a lil bit of help! I want to add some caps to my shop but I need some input: - do you like this design as a cap? - which colour cap do you prefer? Lemme know, especially if this is something you’d defo buy!! <333 #art #illustration #hat #cap #raven #crow

The raven stared at the mice The mice stared at him No one said a word Until the raven said “… Ahem.” He opened his mouth And out came a song The mice just stared at him Like something was wrong - Oh no, such awkwardness! Will the raven be accepted??? #illustration #art #kidlit

He popped up his head And what a surprise! He saw three little mice Singing their own reprise - Next bit of the story (Birdsong) is here! Will be going into detail on how I created this project in my next blog - newsletter sign up is in my bio ✨ #illustration #picturebook #kidlit

Down he landed And in he bound Entranced by that noise Such a strange but lovely sound The next part of my lil project, “Birdsong”… what could be making such a noise????? 👀👀👀 #illustration #picturebook #poem #art

A raven was fast asleep When suddenly he woke To a very strange sound Drifting round his old oak He decided to follow the noise And with a 1,2,3 He flapped his wings And flew from the tree - Finally sharing a personal project I’ve been working on - more to come! #illustration #kidlit #comic

If you’re in #newcastle come down to Endless Love Creative market at The Baltic. We have doughnuts and art #art #illustration #homer

Paintin’ pet portraits #watercolour #petportrait #illustration #illustrator

AI could be so useful it was being trained for things like spotting copyright infringement or information leaks. But no, instead it's just stealing photos and art to create weird stuff like images of people in space eating spaghetti while riding a dinosaur and wearing a dog suit.

Have greatly enjoyed Endless Love Creative Sheffield market today! I photographed awkwardly and got to draw many a good pupper #art #sketch #market #dog

Just a weird guy #doodle #art #procreate

Just discovered that there’s not only a small degu community on here, but that there are other artists with degus and this makes me happy. Here are some sketches of my tiny rodent overlords #degu #pet #sketch #sketchbook #art

Testing my table for Endless Love Creative Sheffield this weekend & my art director is giving her valued opinions (I think she just wants to chew all that wood on the table 👀) #art #illustrator #degu #pet

Just published my first blog post on my website & I’m very nervous but hope it’s at least coherent (I spent 12 hours on it yesterday) Feel free to read if you fancy www.ruthhammondillustration.com/blog

Finally finished this! It’s a redraw of a hecking OLD drawing and it’s taken ages to get right. Just wanna let the universe know I’d like to work on a graphic novel, yup #illustration #graphicnovel #redraw #art #fantasy #bookillustration

Making a new banner for my tables when we do conventions & markets. Just finished painting the fabric! #art #painting #ink

Felt nice this morning, I put makeup on and proper clothes and everything. #wfh #ootd #illustrator

A cool glitch just happened in Photoshop 👀 #glitch #art #photoshop #illustration

Reposting bits from IG~ here’s a raven who’s stumbled on a mushroom with a butt :) I’m working on a lil story about the raven that I’ll be sharing soon. It’ll just be still images for now but I’d love to animate it! #illustration #animation #art #raven #mushroom

My dream last night would have made an awesome YA novel, there was unique magic and a big, evil bad to fix… can I remember any of it now? Nope! I’m sure this is always the way, haha. #yanovel #kidlit

Just some dumb little guys~ #doodle #illustration #art #doodles #procreate

Just some awkward guys hanging out. I’m starting a blog for art stuff I won’t share to social media, it’ll be available on my website, but free to sign up to email updates here: ruthhammondillustration.com/newsletter #illustration #watercolour #kidlit #art

Have started doodling in the mornings to help me wake up :) #lotr #legolas #elf #sketch #sketchbook
