Working on snail stuff and I need to save this very helpful information

ICYMI, the June 4th #KidLitArtPostcard event marks the 5th anniversary. That's two weeks away! I'm suggesting a theme for our illustrations: You, as a kid. Learn more about the event here: www.ginaperry.com/postcard #kidlit

Me as a kid- obsessed with rabbits and critters of all kinds. If you can't tell, not much has changed. Need me to draw some for you? Happy 5 year anniversary #kidlitartpostcard! Rep'd by @chelseabigbang.bsky.social at @madwomanliterary.bsky.social www.kelseykingillustration.com

Hello #kidlitartpostcard day (and #mermay!) I’m Kelsey, and illustrator who just finished her first semester of grad school and had fun making this piece to celebrate! Looking for work in book covers, PB, and MG. Represented by @chelseabigbang at @madwomanliterary 🌱 www.kelseykingillustration.com

Hey! I’m back to being a full time artist again, and I am looking for work! Got a project in mind? Feel free to DM or email me!

It seems so obvious now, but why don't I ever do shapes within shapes?!?!??? Accidentally stumbled into this while making a silly little sticker to include with my shop orders omg. I literally think this is the best, most elegant thing I have made in recent memory. 🫠

Between 1900 and now, illustrators used a changing set of painting media. Oil dominated at first. Gouache and casein had their heyday mid-century. Acrylic gradually replaced casein. But by the year 2000 digital trounced them all. jamesgurney.substack.com/p/which-medi...
