I remember the first time I saw an angler fish. It freaked me out that animals so scary looking actually existed!

Illustrating something a little scary, and a little cute for @littlethoughtspress.com upcoming issue "In the Dark." It's a fun balance! The poem this drawing is for is so fun! Stay tuned this fall for the issue's release! #kidlitart #illustration #kidlit

I agree! Thanks for confirming that for me! Took a stab at aging her down. What do you think?

Sketching.... A part of a draft for next month's #kidlit postcard. I'm thinking I may need to age down my character, I was going for around 12 years old. Thoughts? #kidlitart #sketchbook

Thanking the Bees 🐝🍎 What bees make possible isn’t only food. Sometimes it’s an afternoon spent cooking together, a recipe passed from one generation to the next, and a memory that stays with us. Watercolour & ink on paper. #KidLitArt #ChildrensIllustration #Watercolour

Watercolour and ink illustration of a grandmother and her young granddaughter baking an apple pie together in a kitchen, viewed through a garden window surrounded by an apple tree, ripe apples and bees.

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! 🎨 📚 It's Back-To-School season, and that means school pictures! I'm Diandra Mae, an author-illustrator who loves showing kids REALLY being kids. 😆 I'm rep'd by Carrie Hannigan at HGLit. diandramae.com #kidlit #kidlitart #backtoschool

A digital illustration showing a group of six animal "kids" having their school picture taken with a very 90s-style blue and pink laser backdrop. Each portrait is messy or silly in some way. A turtle is about to sneeze, a mouse is too short and out of frame, a bear is smiling with a huge smile, a pig has her finger in her mouth, a rabbit with braces has his face too close to the camera and is taking up the entire frame, a poodle's fluffy hairdi has fallen, and her ribbons are coming undone.

Had the opportunity to paint a pet portrait as a wedding gift for a coworker! I was so excited to break out my #gouache paints in such a long time (had to clean a lot of gunk off my brushes 😬) I'm really happy with how Doug the #dachshund turned out! #dogart #dogillustration #dogs

K is for kiwi. These adorable, flightless #birds are beloved in New Zealand. Unfortunately, the species' population is under threat by human- introduced non-native predators (brought to the country for various commercial, and misplaced rodent management reasons). 5 min. #kiwi #birdart #sketchbook

H is for Hadada Ibis. They're known for their distinctive "ha-da-da, ha-da-da, ha-da-da" call. The beak and eyes of this beauty really caught me. Day 8 (with a two day break). 7 min. #birds #birdart #illustration #sketchbook
