Tea for two

November 4th, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in Illustration - (0 Comments)

This was originally just a handdrawn black and white illustration, but for some reason I keep wanting to digitalize my drawings, and as for this one I actually think it turned out really well. Would you fancy a cup of tea love?

DIY: Hand Painted Owl Rocks

November 3rd, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in DIY tutorials | Illustration - (0 Comments)

So there is no step by step photos for how to do this, but basically:

  1. Go for a walk and look for rocks. A beach with those soft, round beach pebbles would work great. But don’t worry, I found these from walking around in my neighborhood here in LA, no need to look far in other words.
  2. Rinse of any dirt with water, we don’t want to ruin those pens of yours. Let dry.
  3. I prefer to use Posca Markers, but any kind of acrylic paint (either brush or pen) should do. Get creative!
  4. Once you are happy with your designs, let them dry and cover with the gloss of your choice, matte/glossy.
  5. You are done! Perfect for decorating windows, the garden, pots… Or put them in a nice box and give to a dear friend.

To be a bouquet of flowers

November 2nd, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in Illustration | Illustration Friday - (2 Comments)

Wouldn’t that be interesting? 🙂

I will be saving this original drawing for a project I’m working on, but I was thinking it would make a good digital piece, so I decided to have a go. The color palette was inspired from my dress and some starburst candy, I guess that source of inspiration os never far away huh, it’s just a matter of seeing it.

The illustration friday theme for this week just happens to be BOUQUET (yes, coincidence, I swear) so I got to kill two (well, three actually) birds with one stone with this one.
