My 11-year old came up with a fun and funky #kidlit character for a story she is writing. she asked me if I would draw it for her. It was such a fun concept I decided not only to draw but #crochet the little guy as well. Meet Cole. The cabbage octopus. 🐙 #watercolor #kidlitart #illustration

I love the texture you can get when you mix watercolor with Neocolor ii’s. I’m not a big tomato eater but these look yummy 😋 #kidlitart #watercolor #traditonalart #illustration

Always adding more. Anyone else constantly going back to a painting and adding just the smallest touches that probably only you will really notice?😂 #watercolor #kidlitart #traditionalart

All of these scaly looking flowers I have been drawing made me think of dragon eggs. Sooo of course I had to draw a cute baby dragon sitting in a flower 😍 #cuteart #kidlitart #dragon #illustration

Spent the last few weeks painting armored animals… putting that knowledge to good use by now painting the ginger flowers we have in Costa Rica that remind me of scales/armor. #kidlitart #illustration #watercolor #art

Not sure why I keep drawing these little armored critters lately. Well, they are a lot of fun! Added an armadillo. First time drawing one. Will probably draw many more! #traditionalart #kidlitart #art

Didn’t draw the last 2 days due to pain in my shoulder and neck. Last night I was finally feeling better and quickly drew this guy. I think it’s my best pangolin yet. 🧡 #kidlitart #traditionalart #cuteart #art

Pangolin drawn with acrylic markers, watercolor brush pens, and colored pencils.
