Running a bit late for #peachtober, but here's my drawing for Oak! 🌰 #kidlitart #creatureart

Oakington, garden variety. An acorn with a crack, an acorn with two feet bursting out, and a little oak dragon with an acorn hat.

Another thing I'll never forgive AI for, is destroying the satisfaction of adding a warm yellow overlay to an illustration. Small-fry but nonetheless harsh 😅💛

Wanted a chill drawing activity, so I started designing little creatures inspired by plants n leaves. (Currently going by Leaflings.) These are Dogwood and Alder :) 🍃 #kidlitart #nature #fantasy

Woodland creature inspired by Dogwood leaf, large eyes and long cylindrical nose, leaf ears, and leaf atop head.

Woodland creature inspired by Alder, body made from a brown alder cone, and head based on leaf, with cylindrical nose growing from the stalk. Creature holds a little wooden staff.
