2 little sketches I did today!

I used some of my travel pictures to design my image.

Whimsical illustration of a cute girl!

I feel only positive emotions after drawing this landscape. It's a bit wintery, snowy, and magical. I love the background texture. But I still need to work on the details. Recently, I discovered the miraculous power of gouache. I ordered paints a few days ago (still waiting for the shipment). That's why there are only digital versions for now. I have already purchased a course on the Domestika platform. I'm going to try my skills at traditional painting on paper. It will be a big challenge. Fortunately, I have a great teacher :) Thanks, Ruth Wilshaw, for your Domestika course and daily inspiration to create! Day 6 of #whimsicalByMamaminia art challenge.

Fun doodle . . . Look for the hidden Message :)

What if a whale swims through the clouds in the sky?

Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created

Did a doodle sketch. Didn’t really know where this idea was going when I started it then it grew into a kind of cityscape sunset in the end. I was trying to sort of do a bridge around the buildings in an abstract unidimensional way. Well thought it was creative and different in the end.

Bored at work.... doodle it up!

These stickers I got over the weekend are slaying!

An intuitive mix of fluid watercolor gradients and intricate fineliner patterns, wrapped up in a golden border. A little bit biological, a little bit whimsical.

Cute green cat -character design for my Red Bubble Shop.

2nd attempt at a shroom head. I felt a lot of hats from 1950’s fashion actually look like mushroom caps.

A Dreamy but Messy Dressing Room

Glitter pig is shy but can shine when she wants to.

A Fantasy world, where people lives in spring and land is colourful and like a trampoline so everyone jumps around all the time.

"You kiddos enjoying this story?"

One night, as we were sailing from the Marquesas to Hawaii, my husband sobe his torch in the water and saw a huge pink eye reflected back at him. This is my artist's impression of the creature.
