Digital ink line art for a fantasy illustration, featuring an elf lady sat by a fireplace with a cute baby dragon curled up in her lap. The cozy room is decorated with winter and yule decorations like pine, cinnamon, and dried oranges.
Now onto the colouring 💜✨

A crop of a much larger fantasy illustration that will feature the elf lady, a baby dragon, and a warm winter fireplace. The picture here features the character, wearing a dress decorated with teardrop pearls to match her accessories.
Working on something a little more complex than usual! 👀

A thumbnail for a video about intermediate colour theory, covering how to mix blue without primary blues. The video will cover colour identity, simultaneous contrast, and colour gamut masking. The thumbnail picture features the colour mixing chart and some of the blues mixed in the video.
Coming tomorrow 👀

Thank you 💜 happy new year!
A page in my sketchbook with a pencil drawing of baggy trousers, drawn in 2B pencil using the 0.7 mm mechanical pencil resting on the sketchbook to the right.
A close up of another clothing sketch drawn in pencil, focusing on the folds and shapes.
Clothing practice in the sketchbook. After doing the Oën illustration recently I wanted to draw more baggy clothes. So many folds 👖

I wish I could say I now feel better, but I have woken up with another cold this morning 💀
A pencil drawing in my sketchbook that I sketched of the fictional character Lee Yeon after watching the K-drama "Tale of the Nine Tailed".
When I was ill I caught up on my (massive) backlog of TV shows, which included Tale of the Nine Tailed. Lee Yeon ended up infiltrating my sketchbook as a result 🦊

A grid of 9 images for the annual "art vs artist" challenge. I've compiled together some of my sketches and illustrations I created in 2025 of characters, fantasy creatures, and animals.
So much has happened in 2025 looking back. I started an art blog, pushed myself to join communities and network, and ended up taking part in a bunch of art collabs and projects as a result! Thank you to everyone I've met and connected with along the way 💜✨

A traditional ink and watercolour fantasy illustration of Anaïs' original character Oën. He's an elf conjurer, who wears bright jewel-tone loose clothing and uses a moss covered staff.
Illustrated a friend's oc since she's going through a rough time. This is Oën, he's a conjurer on a quest looking for his sister. I traditionally inked and painted him with watercolours.

A photo of my main watercolour palette sat on top of a colour mixing chart showing the pigment mixes.
End of the year palette tour? 👀
a blue dragon prepares to land on its nest which has two eager dragonlings waiting for it. In the background are pink misty mountains.
'The Brood' - another dragon piece from this year. Also available in my shop with a layaway payment (if desired) over 3 months. Any big pieces like this I would wait to send in January anyway so as not to get lost in the melee of Xmas shipping!

Currently working on a secret illustration that I can't share yet... but I'm filming it for when I can!
Thank you ☺️
My desk with my open sketchbook and a cup of tea. On the sketchbook is a blue ballpoint pen, which I used to draw the sketches of a hand and portrait on the open page.
Back to the dark months

An original digital illustration that I painted by hand because humans have those to do things with. The fantasy illustration features a cute magical bird wearing a witch hat adorned with a star and moon, and is perched on roleplaying dice.
A recent commission from a lovely friend ✨🐦⬛✨

Do you like sketching at museums/art galleries? Here's an art journal entry of my sketching trip at the Ruskin Collection a few weeks ago.

“All in a Night’s Work”. Oils on canvas. 15 x 30. A sketch I did years ago finally sees completed work.
The art community tag video will be live tonight! I have a little challenge for us all, and you get to see me struggle with it myself first 🥲
My sketchbook while I was at the museum gallery. You can see some of the crystals and stones displayed behind the glass in the background. On the page in my sketchbook is a pencil drawing of an amethyst crystal slice.
Museum sketching with the crystal exhibit. Of course I picked a hard one for myself and ended up frying my brain halfway through!

This french Ultramarine has such beautiful granulation!
A photograph of a beautiful tree in the Sheffield Botanical gardens.
Wandered around a botanical garden to fuel up on inspiration for a dryad illustration series. Came across this wonder of a tree.
