]]>Lucracia Ray doesn’t just draw anything—her main focus is tiny, adorable frogs! “I’ve always been enamored with fairy tales and I find that woodland creatures tend to quite often embody the magic of those stories so perfectly. I enjoy bringing them to life and giving them whimsical personalities, particularly mushrooms and frogs, as they are both so unique in their biology,” she shared with Bored Panda.
But these drawings are more than just cute—they provide a sense of comfort and support as well, to both illustrator and viewers alike.
“I like to put the energy or feelings I wish I had into my paintings. I find that this helps to brighten my mood, and others have indicated similar feelings when viewing my work,” she told Bored Panda.
From frogs with gnome hats to ones in Halloween costumes, Lucracia has provided the world with an endless supply of the cutest drawings. Take a look at her Instagram and fall in love with the sweet characters yourself.

]]>Ciullo is the creative mind behind a popular Instagram page @mycartoonpets, home to some amazing illustrations of Disneyfied pets. Pet owners from around the world send Ciullo photos of their bellowed friends, and she uses her magic (otherwise known as drawing skills) to turn them into Disney characters.
(@mycartoonpets)In a recent chat with Bored Panda, Ciullo said that she accidentally discovered her talent. After getting a dog called Sherlock, she decided to improve her animal-drawing skills and did a few portraits of him. Everyone around her loved the way Sherlock turned out, and she has been drawing pets in Disney animation style ever since.
According to Ciullo, making these portraits isn’t an easy job. She invests a great effort to make sure every owner gets the best version of their pet, so it can take days for her to complete a single work. However, she says it is worth it because of how owners react to her portraits.
“They either cry of joy when it’s a pet who crossed the rainbow bridge, or they’re just happy and amazed to see their fur babies turned into cartoon style,” she shares.

]]>The post The Rich, Colorful Illustrations of Hélène Baum appeared first on MagazineBlogger.
]]>Her diverse background also plays a role in her illustrations. “I think it’s helped me to keep an open mind, to try and look at things from multiple point of views and to get interested by a lot of diverse subjects, as opposed to staying fixed on one topic,” said Baum in an interview with The Klean. “It’s also what has led me to dive into this whole mythology/legends theme,” she notes.
According to Baum, she’s been drawing ever since she could hold a pen. “It’s always been my favorite activity and it was clear very early that I would end up doing something artistic,” she notes. And yet, it took her some time to commit herself to illustration. Having studied graphic design in Lyon, she worked many years as a graphic designer, practicing painting and playing around with Illustrator in the evenings after work.
It was only by the end of 2016, that she finally took the plunge, quit her full-time job, and hoped for the best. In hindsight, she needn’t worry too much. With a growing fanbase online, her artworks have been used in various contexts, from editorial pieces and children’s books to advertising, with clients such as The New York Times, Vox, Penguin Random House, and Women Who Do Stuff.
“My work is based on my perspective and experience,” says Baum, “I’m not sure you can really dissociate them. Although I don’t translate my experiences in images in a literal way.”
Color is key to understanding her imagery. “Color is the most important element of my work and in general,” she stresses. “It has a huge impact on me mentally and physically. Vibrant colors make me happy and it’s quite an obsession really.” Scrolling through her Instagram page will make you happy just as well.

]]>Despite working with limited material, Chatzipanagiotou manages to pack her wood illustrations with amazing details and captivating scenes. These pieces often explore diverse themes, which is a result of the artist’s “broad interests,” as she explains on her official website.
Chatzipanagiotou’s creative process mainly focuses on “natural habitat and its living inhabitants“ that she pairs with some surreal elements in order to give her works an otherworldly touch.” She also looks to “pay homage to Mother Nature” while exploring themes on how all life is connected. This leads to drawings of flower-covered deer under a star-filled sky, dreamlike landscapes, and tranquil scenes of cabins in the woods.
Aside from her wood slice illustrations, the artist also works on several other projects. This includes paper illustrations and drawings in a similar style. She is also working on a coloring book that will become available in 2023.
Chatzipanagiotou often shares her newest wood slice artworks on her official Instagram page, while some can also be purchased through her Etsy store. You can check out more of them below.

]]>The post The Narrative-Driven Illustrations of Luke Brookes appeared first on MagazineBlogger.
]]>Adopting a narrative-driven style, his work has won him awards, as well as collaborations with top brands and news outlets like BBC, Virgin, Mercedes, and Politico. Specializing in editorial work, Brookes has also created illustrations for books, advertising, and packaging.
“My work combines a strong graphic, narrative-driven style with dramatic lighting and a restricted color palette giving rise to vivid, graphic compositions that boast a futuristic aesthetic,” Brookes further described his practice in a piece published on Ape on the Moon. Another key feature in his work is his skillful use of lighting. Using shadows in his illustrations adds weight and is a key component of his visual narrative.
“My process has changed a bit over the years but I usually start with quickly sketched thumbnail drawings to solidify an idea and composition,” explains Brookes. “I try not to be to fussy with how polished the image is at this stage, it’s more like I’m thinking out loud on the paper.”
Color and texture are then applied digitally, using a Wacom tablet and Photoshop. “I always work with a limited palette, usually around 4–5 colors. I love how this makes me really consider where each color is going to be put down.”
But in the end, it all boils down to the narrative itself: “The narrative is so important to me,” stressed Brookes. “I’m really inspired by movies, great cinematography inspires so much of my work and I always approach a composition as if I were directing a movie,” he noted.

]]>Known also as BLOK or Blok Magnaye, Magnaye’s visual style is, indeed very much geometric, using blocks of color and shapes to construct his illustrated characters. “I try to use basic shapes in my compositions, and try to simplify complex shapes,” he remarked once in an interview with Sense of Creativity. “One AD I used to work with commented that the placing of elements in my work almost seem calculated. That is true indeed!”
Indeed, when it comes to his work, composition is key. Every slant, every curve, and every straight line is calculated in order to ensure the end piece is well balanced created to perfection.
Based in Bulacan, Philippines, Magnaye’s visual style is inspired by vintage children’s books, Charley Harper’s art, and vintage Eastern European poster art (especially Polish). “I think creativity is both nature and nurture,” says Magnaye. “Humanity is where it is right now because we create. Everyone has a spark of creativity within, some more than others. And like in anything, what we nurture thrives.”
His work includes both editorial work and personal projects that are in dialogue with his more personal experiences, day-to-day events, and pop culture. Selected clients include brands like Facebook and Apple and publications such as The Atlantic, The Guardian, and The Telegraph. Proving, once again, that aiming for simplicity is to be appreciated.
“Being an artist, illustrator goes beyond work,” says Blok. “It’s a lifestyle. I’ve been drawing since I was a kid and I can’t imagine a life where I’m not drawing or creating—what a depressing thought! Art of any form makes the world a whole lot better.” We stand by his words!

]]>Working in the editorial illustration where all the work has to be done as quickly as possible, Fischmeister explained that her style evolved into something that is easier to read due to her simple, yet vivid color pallette.
Her first step in creating an illustration is making a mood board and do some pencil sketches. Then, she transfers the ideas to Photoshop, where she experiments with composition, light, and shadow. After that, drawing the illustration comes easily, blocking out colors, adding lines, shading, and textures.
She currently has over 4,000 Instagram followers, where she shares some of her work. Scroll down and check out our favorites.

]]>To create her masterpieces, Girard explains how her creating process needs to look.
“I’m very organized. I like when everything is well planned, and precision is also really important to me,” she said in an interview for Ballpit. “Maybe that’s the reason why I really like geometric design, sharp shapes, vectors, and symmetry. It looks very clean and organized, and I think it creates a sort of harmony (at least to me!).”
After graduation, she moved to the “City of Light” and loves her creative job. Lately, she has been drawing more in Procreate, regardless of Illustrator being her favorite medium. Images of plates full of colorful and delicious-looking food, flowers, animals, and people are just some of the works she shares on her Instagram and Behance account.
