Sample of a repeating tile made with inky brushes, a Debaser dotty panel and watercolour overlay - can be on any colour background, or indeed any modulation of the coloured pattern. Thought I'd show you a fragment close up. I really want a journal cover like this fragment - big and bold and in my face! www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector  #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #homedecor #surfacepattern
This is an edit of the letter B. Thanks for your lovely Likes earlier. I just thought the letter watercolour was sooo dark. I've lightened it :) www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #lettering #alphabet
Had trouble designing on the fly here, as making them curvy means I have to make sure it wouldn't look like a future capital O... Should have thought ahead before ever starting! Oh well. Again, the background colour is probably due to change :) www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #alphabet #lettering #butterflies
Four down 22 to go!! www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #lettering
Another crack at a capital letter. Not sure what background colours work best but it can be changed :) The joys of PS layers. www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #lettering #illuminated
Might take me a long while to do an alphabet haha! Watercolour letter, doodled foliage/branches and pastel for the bird. Freehand letter - needless to say. I don't like rigidly accurate lines :) www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells
Mia unearths worms while making a garden with her gran. The worms are not pleased - and they're in danger. I made her get muddy!! Just another pose for #MATSICB5 :) www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #MATSICB5 #character design
Mia has likely gone a bit OTT singing to the plants to encourage them! I think the red notes need to be another colour to stand out, but I can't decide what. www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #childrensbooks #MATSICB5
Yay, I can finally share I’ve won 2nd prize in the SCBWI British Isles conference badge competition and it will be on sale at the conference this month. I’m just beyond pleased. I designed it after I’d started studying with #makeartthatsells and @lillarogers so I thought some hand lettering would be good, and a clear read essential. Seems it worked. #MATSICB5 www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com
The plants spring to life like magic - and Mia is showing them how tall she wants them to grow! www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #MATSICB5
Little Mia has to be able to do a cartwheel haha (according to art director Zoe Tucker on #MATSICB5) - so here she is attempting one :) Her gran is having to tend the plants as Mia is playing around instead! And she's lost her ribbon slide. www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #MATSICB5
A slightly improved attempt at little Mia for the story on the #MATSICB5 course I'm doing. Probably as good as it gets for now although I may adjust the brightness/contrast at some point. I deleted the wip :) www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #MATSICB5
Just wondering if I can remember the lettering they taught us at school! Seems not, at least not accurately, but I intend finding a book to re-learn it from :) What a way to use expensive hot pressed watercolour paper. www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram #lettering
A repeat pattern that can sit on any colour background. Lovely to work with fresh florals now setting the clocks back has made the evening rather dark! www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #pattern #boltfabric
Some curtains I made with my own material - well, mocked up with my own design :) Oh to have a beautifully tidy room like this to put them in! www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #MATShomedecor #curtain #boltfabric
My little girl has a name! She also has a few emotions showing during the story, in which her gran has died (#MATSICB5). Grabbed a few here to show you. Watercolour textures scanned in. Photoshop assembly and Clip Studio Paint scribbly extras with their super brushes. All done via Astropad Studio on the iPad linked to my Mac. www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #MATSICB5
I made a wall plaque in metal and engraved the affirmation. Actually, to be a little more truthful, I took a photo of a pool of water on the kitchen counter (which I made oval instead) and a drop of water, and wrote the letters in pastel pencil and then amalgamated it all in Photoshop. But it would look wonderful made in metal! www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #homedecor #CCHD
This was my first idea for my little girl for #MATSICB5 course I am doing - and maybe, just maybe I will revert to her during the next few weeks of study. I do like her. If not, she will come in for something else, for sure! Nothing is wasted :) www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells #MATSICB5
Sometimes you just have to do what you fancy doing!! I shall now call this done. But I'd love to find a forest like this to sit in and read and talk to the deer. No one expressed a thought on the background colour and I changed it all again :) www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #artistsoninstagram  #makeartthatsells
Am working on some deer. Can't decide which colour background suits them best before I carry on. Which do you prefer? Pinkish or blue? www.eleanorpatrickillustration.com #art #artwork #artist #illustrator #illustration #drawing #editorialart #artdirector #editorialillustration #illustrationartists #media #painting #dailyart #artistsoninstagram #illustrationart #deer
