Hey, I'm 14 and I love your artwork! Any tips for drawing or painting chickens, I always seem to get them wrong :) And where would I be able to buy prints or originals of your chicken paintings? I love them so much! :) Thanks :)

Hi there! I was just having a peek at your Tumblr - your chickens are soo cute! Especially Luna!! I’d love to own some of my own someday.

As you have them as pets, I’d say practice drawing their shapes by sitting with them and drawing them from life. You could also practice by copying your photos. Focus on what you like most about them, whether its their curious faces or their scaly feet or their pretty feathers! It might be an idea to try to capture their individual personalities! :)

Ooh thank you! I don’t have any prints or originals for sale at the moment but as soon as I do I will let my followers know! 

I hope I’ve been of some help, and good luck with your chickens :)

Your art is just so amazing in every way! Do you have any tips for becoming an illustrator? Or maybe for water coloring? Thank you ^^

Aw thank you so much! I’m sorry but I don’t really….other than be passionate about the things that inspire you and don’t ever stop drawing and being creative! (I guess I fuel my drawing and painting by my passion for my subjects) I have just left university and I am still *trying* to become an illustrator! So all I can say is pick a good uni/college and a good illustration course ;) As for watercolouring all I can say is experiment and have fun. 

I wish I could be of more help! Thank you for following my work and I wish you all the luck with your artwork! <3

Prints?

I’ve been thinking about getting some prints made to sell in my (never before used) Etsy shop, but its taking me forever to decide which paintings I should get done first, arghh!  I’m thinking possibly one or two budgies and vegetables?

If you have a request, please let me know! :) It would also help me out by giving me an idea of which images might be liked more!
