made with gel ink pen for a future art book about mediterranean way of life. A bit different in the colors choice this time

This is another pleasant illustration for today! This is not anyone or a person.. This is made in picture book style with comics elements.

Inspired by “The Birthday” by Marc Chagall, the mess of my physical workspace… and the chaos in my mental and emotional space as well

Character design completed in procreate

A fantasy little rounded house in the forest. It could be a part of some fairy tale. Who lives there?

So, I got contacted by some suppossedly American guy for a commision on his son's dog. He sent a couple of pretty nice pics of it and I did this sketch. In the end it all turned out to be a very ellaborate scam, which I luckily realized before any harm was done. At any rate, I loved drawing this dog and I didn't even know I could create this because it's totally different from what I usually do. I value the experience I got out of this, overall, but be cautious out there. I've been victim to scam attempts four times in a month lately. Instagram is a wild place right now.

Inspired by a lovely painting by illustrator Loré Pemberton.

Created with a combination of watercolor and graphite drawing. www.christineandersonillustration.com

Crosshatching was used to build up the shadows. It's probably my favourite drawing technique. Works best with pen and ink. This is the cover image for one of my children's picture books.

I created a series of mini-flyer to promote Jesse Lent's show. The show venue becomes the inspiration and the series was produced with hand-drawing line-marker style with one punchy bold color.

Colored pencils

From our little part of the world to yours, warmest winter wishes! This piece was created 'Just For Fun' with Colored Pencils. It was so relaxing and enjoyable to doodle one house each evening!

Oodles of doodles of my penguin pals…

First commission of the year in progress — inspired by my mural in Bristol, for a couple from the neighbourhood who walk by the mural nearly every day

An illustration I created of a Northern cardinal. :)

Burgers and fries themed doodle inspired by this burger-shaped cushion while hanging out at my brother's apartment.

I'm starting a new art challenge #whimsicalByMamaminia Art challenges are an excellent way to stay motivated. They are great for creating consistently in one style. I fell in love with gouache paintings with a whimsy touch when I discovered Ruth Wilshaw. It's my first attempt at creating an illustration with a whimsical accent

Inspired by Ruth Wilshaw and her book "Creative Gouache" I tried to get a gouache effect in my digital illustration. I think I did it. I'm nicely surprised with the final look. That's why experimenting is so astonishing.

Disparate doodles in ink and graphite pencil (H) on an A5 size ruled notebook.

Recent commission: How do women move forward when doors are continually closing in front of them? Doors that were open in the past are now being closed by those who think that you should live your life the way they do even though your life situation is vastly different from theirs. 2022, 13” x 19” Ballpoint Pen on Paper, Digital.

Another illustration for today!

A painting created in one of my favourite programs Rebelle 6 pro. this was more of an experiment than a full on planned painting - the stencil feature is an interesting tool
