I wanted to share this new illustration which I just added to my portfolio (head to my portfolio tab to see more). This one features two 'Fauna Fairy' characters I have created for a story I have written. 

These two animal fairies have gone through a lot of editing, but I'm really happy with how this one looks. I created it using a combination of traditional and digital (Procreate) media.

The traditional tools I used were pencil, gouache paint, and coloured pencils - Prismacolor pencils and Faber Castell pencils. Followed by a digital layer,  I have recently added some new digital brushes to my collection, which I used a lot in this piece. One set is by MaxPacks and the other is by Lucy Flemming . If you'd like to see the different stages this illustration went through, I made some live videos on my instagram page @sarahlovellart , so you can take a look if you'd like. 

I am taking a brilliant mentorship with the Illustration Department at the moment. Getting 1 to 1 feedback is so valuable to improving my illustrations, I highly recommend Giuseppe's course.
