🦴Sacrum + pelvis bone study🦴 I don’t mean to scare you, but do you know there’s a skeleton inside your body right now? A spooky scary skeleton 😬 just hanging out in there!
The design for the larger linocut I’ll be working on✨ my hands are going to be so tired 😬 I'm also going to try mixing inks to make the blue areas a pretty green! We will see how it goes 😌
Moths in the dark ✨ .
Speckled Wood Butterfly 🦋 what a lovely October friend! Have you seen any of these butterflies where you live? Ive been seeing lots of little yellow and white butterflies, even a few monarchs but as the weather gets cooler they’ve been coming around less. I’ve added shimmer to his wings so he catches the sun 🌞 .
Myosotis Sylvatica ✨ I think the dark mode forget me nots are my favorite version 😊 how about you? . The Myosotis prints can be found on my Etsy (LunalinStudio) in the “botanical illustrations” category 🌿 .
Fun in the flowers 😊🌼
Forget me nots 💐 these are my favorite flowers❤️ I won’t be seeing any more until next season but until then these ones can live in my home all winter ☺️
Some concepts for a painting :) I’ve been looking through sketches/studies from the past year or two and seeing if I can do something new with them ✨💀
Been sleepy so I tried another hand today. Line of action has a lot of cool references for hands but not matter how hard I try I can’t get my own fingers to bend the same way the model did 👁️👄👁️ hands are pretty
Friendly reminder that dandelions are flowers too💐The dandelion prints are going to rejoin the clover and be uploaded to Etsy later today 😁✨
Another lino carving concept 😊 I like this one now too… one more maybe?
Behold! The Red Clover prints with dark and light background options have been listed on Etsy ☺️ now to do the dandelions🌱 ⚫🍀⚪ 8.5"x11" glossy photo paper ✨ I think the dark background is my favorite but which is your favorite?
Planning for a lino cutting! I might do some practice mushroom stamps soon :) I’m so excited for print making✨
✨Prints up✨ finally decided on the background! I think it stands out much more now😊 they’re up and listed- 8.5"x11", glossy photo paper ✨ . Also, for anyone wondering about the 3"x3" mini canvas originals, I’m hoping to go to the post office soon to get the shipping estimated so I can list them too! I’ll keep you updated 😊
Red clover! 🍀 This was probably the most difficult one so far because of all those little petals, but I’m very pleased 😊 these are also very tasty! If you lick the bottoms of the petals it’s wonderfully sweet✨
I present to you... The smallest lil mushroom that you ever did see ✨this is the 3rd of the mini canvases! now just need to let them all dry (why must oil paint take so long to dry 😭)
✨Taraxacum✨ and so with the ending of summer, so too does the season for dandelions come to an end. Now all that’s left to do is scan it and add the labels! Next up I’m thinking… Red clover? Then maybe some fun fall forage flora! Let me know any other plants you'd like to see :)
Hello friends and today I bring you another of the 3"x3" mini canvases ☺️ this one has a pretty little Scarlet Tiger Moth❤️ next up: I think it’s time for a little mushroom…?
❤️Sweet William Heartbeat 💐 I'm still adding some veins and washes to this, but I feel like it's close to being done and I wanted to share☺️ I've never painted this flower before so it was an interesting time, but with practice I'm sure I'll figure with out ◉‿◉ . #art #floral #sketchbook #organs #anatomystudy #drawing #traditionalart #illustration #anatomy #sheridanvca #artistsoninstagram #watercolor #watercolorpainting #heart #flowers #botanicalpainting #heart #sweetwilliam #aesthetic #painting #pastel #pastelgoth #goblincore #fairycore #darkacademia #botany #botanicalillustration #botanicalart #medicalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CTXYfQmrZUs/?utm_medium=tumblr
The first of the mini originals is done! This 5 spotted ladybird is 3"x3" and will need a home soon :) I’ll keep you updated on the status of the other mini canvas originals (hopefully will start a moth one today👀) when they are ready I’ll post the details and have them up on Etsy ☺️
🍭 millipede lolly🍭 How would you like to find these hidden in the swirls 👀 I actually think millipedes are kind of cute .. but centipedes… Absolutely not 😭 the reference for these guys was a tractor millipede and I don’t think I like them… They look too much like centipedes with their spindley legs all exposed like that 😱
Amphibious friends! 🐸 These little guys will be up together as a print soon, but for future amphibious friends would you like to see them as individual 5"x7" prints? Let me know 🤗 🐸
Strawberry poison 🐸🍓 how can something so dangerous have such a sweet name :0
🕷️Do you like lava cake ? This black widow spider does, and I don’t think she wants to share 👀 another in the series of Disturbing Desserts and Sinister Sweets✨
A brightly colored friend this time!
🐸Chitchat Chanterelles 🍄 If you spot him in the forest, he will talk to you for hours. The catch? He only talks in rhyme. Do not touch his little hat, he will certainly not like that. .
Enjoy this little Dart frog hopping across your feed ☺️
🍄 Mushroom friends, mushroom friends 🍄 bringing these back because I don’t think I ever shared the whole group with colours ☺️🍄 just some simple little friends: - the mushroom merchant - the prince - the mentor - the twins 🍄 I think the twins or the merchant would be my favorite, but what about you? .
Amphibious friend! What would you name him? 🐸
Three of them! The hairless cat poster / print is complete ✨probably gonna have it up in a few days after I go to the post office and double check some shipping stuff 😊 more hairless cats to come! Something about then if just so fun to draw. Thoughts on hairless cats/hairless animals?
