Witchy

A Whimsical Witch, for wishing a merry, witchy Christmas.

I haven’t had the chance to make anything since Drawlloween as it’s been a hectic couple of months and I’m still feeling pretty done in most of the time. But here is a nice witch. I decided she is the witch in one my stories. She is called Linnet. 

She was first drawn solely in colour pencil, but I wanted to keep going with my digital practice and give the scene some atmosphere using procreate. Plus, it was nice to be able to polish some of the finer details since traditional media can be a bit messy! 

New Year plans are to work on more of my pencil art with procreate!

Goodbye, Drawlloween.

It was over before we knew it, and the relief and heartache are still there in equal measure.

I, of course, was utterly pathetic at remembering where I had planned to share my spooky offerings so here is the collection of them all. I didn’t do each day, but I did a lot and I think I enjoyed it more because of that.

This month I’ll be focusing on writing and junk journalling. I have been very busy since the summer using some of my pressed flowers for vintage/floral collages and I’ll sling some of that on here soon.

Folksy Friday – Gothic

Hello! I’ve been busy setting up listings in my Folksy shop – Paynes Grey Art Shop.

I made my first Folksy Friday grid – the theme – Gothic!

My illustrations were made for Halloween and Drawlloween 2020/2021, and for a ghost story I am (always) writing.

You can find me on Folksy. There you will find ghosts, and witches, gothic puppets, and vampires, and pressed flower art.

All inspired by my love of Halloween, Asian art, and cute witches.

I drew these using pastels and pastel pencils and have cards, postcards and prints available.

Happy Folksy Friday!

Whimsical Witches

I’ve decided to illustrate a series of Whimsical Witches for different seasons. I always thought vintage clothing to be ever so charming, and I think it would be a fun way to practice gesture, and clothing, and of course witches!
