Fun fact: I'm not a mushroom eater. I just don't l Fun fact: I'm not a mushroom eater. I just don't like the texture of them at all! Every few years I'll try eating them again, just in case my taste buds have matured enough for me to enjoy them, but nope, not yet anyway. What's interesting is that neither of my parents like mushrooms either. That's pretty weird since most folks really enjoy them! Do you eat mushrooms? If so which one's are your fav? What's your fav way of preparing them? ✦ #tawnart #mushroomillustration #shroomart #mushroomart #mushroomlover #mushroomseason #autumnvibes #autumnillustration #fallweather #fallfoliage #artlicensing #availableforlicensing #freelanceartist #freelanceillustrator #artforlicensing #creativitymatters #capturingcolor #lifeofanartist #seeingthepretty #maketimeforart #artistcommunity #surfacepatterncommunity #theydrawandgarden

Lately, I've been playing around with learning how Lately, I've been playing around with learning how to create half-drop repeat patterns in Photoshop - it's been a bit of a struggle if I'm frank. But I really want to master an efficient way of building half-drop repeats in PS because I feel they make patterns look so much better. The repeat is usually not as evident in half-drops and creates a more balanced design overall. Here's a simple bird half-drop repeat I did recently to go with my Autumn Forest pattern (which is also a half-drop repeat). Do you have any tips, tricks or course recommendations for improving my process of creating half-drop repeats in Photoshop? I'd love to hear them! ✦ #autumnvibes #autumnillustration #fallweather #fallfoliage #artlicensing #availableforlicensing #freelanceillustrator #creativitymatters #capturingcolor #lifeofanartist #seeingthepretty #maketimeforart #artistcommunity #surfacepatterncommunity #tawnart #printandpattern #patterndesign #surfacepattern #patterndesigner #patternart #patternlove #patternplay #patternlife #patternlover #patternillustration #patterndesignercanada #surfacespatterns #mylifeinpattern

I got some advice from an art agent not too long a I got some advice from an art agent not too long ago who said I should include more floral placements in my licensing portfolio. She also gave me a bunch of other pointers, which I've been slowly working into my illustrations. I tried to channel a little of @bydylanm way of constructing bouquets because I love how non-symmetrical they tend to be and yet they are always so harmonious with full of visual interest. What do you think of my "Harmony" floral illustration? ✦ #flowerart #floralart #floraldesign #drawingflowers #floralmood #botanicalprint #floralartist #floralillustration #flowersmakemehappy #flowerstagram #inspiredbynature #tawnart #theydrawandgarden #womenofillustration #ladieswhodesign @womenofillustration @theydrawandgarden @ladieswhodesign #creativelife #womenwhocreate #creativity #colorplayallday #colorplay #showyourwork #livecolorfully #mycreativebiz #agentadvice
