Watercolour Illustration #Colour_Collective

There’s a hashtag for an illustration community on twitter, that set weekly challenges for illustrators to join in with.

I dipped my toe in the #colour_collective for the first time last Friday. This was my entry!

What do you think?

Playing with watercolour paints is one of my favourite hobbies at present. That and handlettering & modern calligraphy.

Do you express your creativity through different mediums or are you focussed on just one?

I have found that my poetry seems to flow in a different direction. Perhaps trying new things helps your brain find new channels and seeds of thoughts, I don’t know, but that’s how it seems to work for me.

Even putting some different music on can slighter change the way I feel, so it stands to reason that so many variables can come into play.

I am starting to feel a bit more confident with watercolours. I’ve not been using them seriously for too long, but there is certainly a lot to learn.

Getting involved with challenges like the colour collective are a fabulous way to find inspiration and practice at the same time.

Watercolor Illustrated Poem Quote

Take the leap - own the sky - poem quote and watercolour illustration by Ms Moem, English Poet. @MsMoem

This quote is a snippet of a poem I wrote. I decided it might suit being jazzed up with a bit of illustration, and watercolour at that!

I’m still very much in beginner territory when it comes to watercolour painting, so I am quite pleased at how it has turned out. It has already inspired me to create more along the same line, so I hope they might be well-received.

There’s something terribly therapeutic about painting and I really enjoyed being creative in a different way, so along the same theme as the poem quote above, if there is something you want to do or try, take the leap and give it a whirl!

Pencil Illustration ~ Digital Colouring

pencil illustration with digital colouring by ms moem @msmoem

In my ‘teach yourself illustration’ journey, I am enjoying drawing in pencil then bringing the piece into the computer to colour it digitally and add a bit of texture. I think it has worked quite well on this piece. What do you think?

Picture Book Illustration ~ Rainy Day

picture book illustration ~ the rainy day by Ms Moem @msmoem

Here’s a picture book illustration I have drawn. The theme is ‘rainy day’ and features a child and some ducks. I’m still very much experimenting, but am quite pleased with how this one turned out. I sketched it in pencil then coloured it digitally.
