Baa says Hello
Once upon a time when I was still at school, I used to draw little sheep. Often doodling them in my books and drawing them all over the Christmas and birthday cards that I gave to my friends and teachers.
I can't really remember how I started drawing them but I liked to use them in my doodling because they were really simple (like the sheep equivalent of stick men) and I could draw the sheep in various guises without needing to think too much about correct proportions or lighting or anatomy etc.
There was a phase where I drew the sheep digitally, named her Baa, and uploaded the pictures to my deviantART gallery, but it's been a while since I last drew her.
I might just start again...

Thursday ♥ - Queen Titania
For me, winter and Christmas make December rather magical. It makes me think of fairy tales, myths and folk stories.

ilovedoodle by Lim Heng Swee
I saw this incredibly funny image of an ice cream cone...emm...doing its business (!) on Pinterest and just had to find out who the artist was. After a search, I finally landed on Lim Heng Swee's ilovedoodle page.
An illustrator/visual artist based in Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, I love how his simple illustrations are so fun and whimsical, and sometimes also carry little messages of encouragement.
His little catchphrase is 'doodling a smile' and they certainly put a smile on my face. For lots more of his work, visit his website and follow his doodle everyday project. =D

Thursday ♥ - knitting sheep
I love black and white drawings (traditional or digital) - the use of shades, negative space and of course, the devil is in the details!

Of woodland sprites & ocean critters in rainbow colour
Allow me to introduce you to, if you are not already acquainted with, the wonderfully whimsical world from the imagination of May Ann Licudine, aka MALL.
She posts as frecklefaced29 on deviantART and I've been a fan for ages - many a times I've wanted to show her work on my Thursday ♥ features, but I kept delaying so that I could do a full post on it because I just couldn't choose only one piece.
An artist from the Philippines, her beautiful colour pencil drawings and acrylic paintings evoke the magic of cute spirit worlds with lanterns and Japanese festival masks, forest sprites and deep sea creatures.
I absolutely love her use of colour: every piece bursts with it. Oh and all the little details!
Her graphite and black and white pencil drawings are just as good with their soft and dreamy focus, and still, the details!
Visit her blog and gallery for more! ~*~
