Just wanted to share that my online shop is going to be reopening tomorrow at 5pm GMT! 

These original paintings are going to be available, as well as a couple of prints and some ceramics~

“We know what you did.”

I spent March/May this year writing and illustrating a short comic book all about cats called ‘Catventures’. It features a lot of the cats I’ve known in my life, mostly family pets, but also some friends’ cat friends, too!

My shop is closed until 30th July (this Saturday) at 5pm GMT, but it’ll be available for purchase once my shop is back open!

In the meantime, I’ll be sharing a few of the comics from the book here~

Slowly uploading a backlog of work from Instagram while I’m busy working away at deadlines and can’t create anything new!

Painted in gouache, scanned in and edited on my iPad pro~

New piece for my portfolio inspired by The Jungle Books!

Having realised that Instagram is maybe not the way forward anymore, I’ve decided to seek refuge here, so if you post about art then please hit me up! I need some fresh accounts to follow. :)

Base painted in gouache and finished digitally~

Heya Tumblr, long time no see! Social media is a full time job to operate, and when you’re just one person some things just end up being neglected, but I’m going to try and keep this one going!

So, here, have my #meettheartist 2019! I love being cosy, eating cake, drinking tea and doodling under the supervision of my fluffy white cat.

I missed yesterday, so here is my Inktober day 3: Vampire!

I was watching Adventure Time while painting this, can you tell?

[ruth-draws]

There are only a number of these little guys left in stock, so grab one while you can!

Inktober is here! I’m a day late posting this because I’m rubbish, but here is day 1: Werewolf. I’m just going to be doing spoopy monsters this year because I have a lot of work on. I’ll try and post every other day, but who knows if that’ll happen... heheh :^)

A little illustration of Newt Scamander. I’m not a huge HP fan, but I absolute adore Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them, and really excited for the new film!

Two outfits I saw the other day while out. I really want both of them, especially the pink one! <3

Really enjoying this new way of working with the textures. Just need to actually put it to use on a full illustration!

The weather was much less arctic last weekend, and me and Tom saw some chickens. One of them sneezed. It was the cutest sneeze I have ever witnessed! How we didn't leave with a new pet chicken I really don't know. Also wanted to try out my more flat style with procreate for some portfolio development. I think it turned out well!

I found this painting, Sea Melodies, by Herbert James Draper while browsing 19th century paintings on Pinterest. I’m in love with his work generally, but when I saw this I needed to paint my own version! I’m really happy with how it came out.

The issues of having long hair. Part 1.

I used to have a pixie cut for years, before that I had a bob, and before that I never really grew it too much further than my collar bones. About three years ago, I decided to ditch the pixie for “princess hair”... I am perhaps now having some issues with it. And yet I still can’t cut it!

There are just too many to fit into one post, so I’ll do these in instalments. <3

I’ve also made a silly Dungeons & Doggos range for my Etsy >> https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ruthdraws

You can get D&D inspired stickers, badges and now Valentine’s day cards (there are more classes available in my Etsy, so check it out for more info)!

More animals and classes soon to come. <3

I’ve been going through a bit of a block recently, but I’m slowly getting through it by looking back at old ideas that never came to life.

This one is inspired by the goddess Diana and British folklore’s Herne the Hunter. It’s a really weird mash up, I know. But I’m happy with how iti came out!

A little illustration from the other day. I had a lot of fun with this!

The colour palette was inspired by the wonderful Marco Guadalupi. <3
