@Melissa_Bailey Love these!

Hi all! This August I am trying to get into a more relaxed way of working, and just did some work trying to follow some project ideas I had and trying not to have many expectations (although that is a really dificult thing to do!). I also bought a new box of colored pencils and you can see I have some sea side inspiration.

Currently I am drawing something that could be the cover for a story I have been brewing for some time. I am all traditional media right now... just feels better for me....

[Oana]

@Melissa_Bailey How cute! Thanks for sharing the work process, you are great with traditional media.! I also looked up the star nosed moles, first time I hear about them

I think this is how I'm viewed when I talk about Instagram, haha.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Frogpunzel thanks so much! I'm having a lot of fun with them.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Oana thanks a bunch! Yes, that's all I have right now ... working on these when I've got some free time and feel like it, which isn't often because I'm working on an illustration project and the deadline is looming.

@burvantill Ooooh I love the format of this one!

[kirsten-mcg]

@Melissa_Bailey That toned paper looks amazing! I'm going to have to get myself some to play with. Your star nosed moles are adorable.

[Melissa_Bailey]

@kirsten-mcg thank you! Yes, get some! It's so much fun to work on. Changes the process a bit, but I've found that the learning curve is not that big.

@Melissa_Bailey Super cute illustration! Love the concept and composition!

I'm starting on a new book for a self-published author about an impatient piglet called Half-Pint Porky who can't wait to go to Pirate school with all the other big pigs.

[kirsten-mcg]

@Asyas_illos Oh wow! It turned out gorgeous! I love your use of color.

[kirsten-mcg]

@Asyas_illos Haha no...I don't think I've ever done this. But thanks for the idea! Next time I'm short a pencil and paper...

[Melissa_Bailey]

@Gabby-Correia thank you! ️

This is a little spot illustration I just did for my portfolio

@Griffin gives studio ghibli vibes
