We made some cookies today and they all ended up having eyes. Just couldn’t help myself enhancing their features…

Free iphone backgrounds

November 14th, 2015 | Posted by Caroline in Free stuff | Illustration - (4 Comments)

These iphone backgrounds are probably two years old, and I remember sharing them on my old blog paired with one of my monthly backgrounds. But I think they still work, and with the holiday season fast approaching I think they should see the light of day once more. I hope you like them!

This weeks theme (which I made, just barely) on Illustration Friday is Whimsical. This word is very not specific, you could literally draw anything and just add a whimsical touch to it, which also makes it kind of hard to think outside the box. Anyways, I ended up with these snails and their little floral houses. I actually think they turned out pretty cute. Take care everyone and have a great weekend!

New social media icons

I doodled some social media icons for my sidebar. They should be visible in the sidebar, just click on any of them (or all of them) so we can connect!

The “Tea for two illustration” but in black and white this time. What do you think? Do you prefer this one or the other one?

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?

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.
