It’s been a month of ladybird creations for me as not only have I made some ladybird art for the Animaloon Collective over on Twitter, I also submitted another illustration and a story to the magazine I contribute to. This will be for the May 2022 edition so I will share soon enough.
For now here’s the artwork I made for the loony balloony balloon fest that occurs every second Tuesday of the month. As usual, I am loathe to inflate them. Instead they become airborne in all manner of whimsical ways. This time it’s steam!
This was inspired by ladybirds, steampunk dirigibles, and my work in progress ghost story.
Drawn with graphite and coloured pencils.
