I hope you're doing well. It's a bank holiday where I live, so it's super quiet outside for a change. It was the perfect day to finish a little painting.
I love the sea and fluffy clouds, and the houses are based o...

Hello friends!
I've made some more progress on my current illustration. I went for warmer colours around the buildings (relative to the blue water), but the next step is going to be adding blue highlights, a subtle glow and caustics effects ...

Hello friends,
I felt like painting something simple and soothing, and a waterfall in the forest felt like exactly the right thing. This might also be the tiniest character I've drawn so far.
