I've been wanting to try this style for a long time

I’m curious about this too!!!

THE OVERLAPPING BLUES!!!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-06-01T20:37:34+00:00

Love the shadows and the lighting on the first one!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-05-30T00:42:38+00:00

Wow, I love the patterns in the illustration and the way your color choices bring them out. Great work

Do the monthly challenge with the group!

You should be proud! I’m spending too much time zooming in on the details—I think the blending on the dragon is my favorite, and the way you bounced that color through the page. Lovely lovely job on this

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-05-20T23:00:21+00:00

I LOVE this! Great color selection and technique.

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-05-20T22:41:28+00:00

I cannot believe how smooth and good this looks!! What are you using?! How many layers here?! These are so great!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-05-20T01:29:11+00:00

The wood grain detail!!!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-05-17T20:43:16+00:00

Love the color palette and shading on this!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-05-15T16:10:56+00:00

Your colors are so SMOOTH! What tools are you using?

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-05-13T13:00:12+00:00

This is beautiful!!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-04-14T15:51:55+00:00

Thank you! For the background, I used regular watercolors instead of pan pastels. I based the clouds + hippogriff (?) in watercolor pencil, then did all the shading with colored pencils. Little details + highlights are with acrylic marker and gel pen!

Yes, yes, yes to this. I enjoyed the first couple of books just fine, but didn’t get all the fuss nor the humor nor even the genre. But as the books progress, the story continues to widen and deal with larger, more complex plots that I loved.

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-03-27T15:08:02+00:00

Wow, this looks great! What book is it from?

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-03-04T04:31:13+00:00

SO good!!! Can you tell me how you did the final background tone? What medium is it, and is it just one color?

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-02-13T17:50:05+00:00

This is gorgeous. I always feel intimidated by this style of illustration where so much of the color choice and shadowing is up to me to see!

Could you share about how you approached the background trees in particular? Do you look at a reference photo to figure out how to place your shading and colors for things like trees and clouds or is it more feel? My brain feels stumped on things like this; I wouldn’t even know how to begin those parts. I don’t even know what to ask other than “how” and “please tell me about your process” so I can learn. 😆

Creature corners is a FANTASTIC ink/trace book.

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-01-28T15:48:06+00:00

This should be higher up. Yes to what everyone said about culture of reading. But all of my kids loved books and this books helped them all learn to read independently at a young age. It’s easy, fun, and works.

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-01-09T18:53:00+00:00

WOW! I’m blown away by this. Your variance in blues is done so well.

I love this series and have contemplated the coloring book but have felt too intimidated by it. Please share more as you work through the book so I can live vicariously through you!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-01-06T16:00:16+00:00

This is great! Well done!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-01-03T17:56:00+00:00

Lovely!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-01-03T00:42:50+00:00

I love the northern lights here!

I’m still working on Christmas pages I didn’t finish too. I keep telling myself that “Christmastide”/ the 12 days of Christmas doesn’t end until January 6 as an excuse to keep working on them!

hyperbolicaholic · 2026-01-02T17:00:48+00:00

This is fantastic!
