drawings

Hello there!

It has been quite a while since I have shared any drawings with you. These are a few that I finished a realllly long time ago and a few that I started way back in December after I met some of the Peterborough ladies.
This is the lovely Ms. Megan of Moonbeam Wishes. Megan actually won a drawing that I was giving away on Carly's blog a while back.
Speaking of Carly, here is Miss Teacups herself.
The amazing and lovely Jen from 365 Lucky Days. I was lucky enough to have Jen do an embroidered portrait of me so here is a little illustrated Jen!
And finally, Astrid! Astrid is another awesome Peterborough blogger with an awesome family.

Every once in a while I take drawing commissions and this is one of those times. If you are interested in a custom drawing send me an email at loveelycia[at]gmail[dot]com and we can chat about details and rates.

Have a great day everyone!

  1. Thank-you for sharing the Peterborough ladies! I had no idea there were so many like minded gals so close to me (we are under an hour from there). The pics of the gathering were great & what an important piece of history to remember... my heart breaks for those Moms. Sigh.

    Your drawings are wonderful!

  2. Love these little illustrations! When I was studying design we had to illustrate an alphabet book with a theme and because I was going through a massively weird Bllythe phase I did an 'A-Blythe-C' alphabet book and my blythes sorta looked like these!

  17. The drawing u did for my x mas cards was fantastic! i got so many compliments. although my grandma (very old and opinionated like most) said, "it looks like a cartoon not a photograph?". I said, "grandma, that's the point! it's an illustration." She said, "i don't get it...". she is funny...

  18. As I would love to say that these are good - well, they are cute, because they show people who are part of a blogging-family many people have heard of if they're reading your blog for a while. Without the factor of recognizing a few bloggers, and technically speaking the drawings are not the best. I don't mean to be rude, but I think you've proven, that you can do many things. For example you rock hair and outfits. :) I simply think, that your talents lie there, and not in drawing. But of course I can understand, that it's fun!

    Many greetings,
    Mae

    1. I think you have it pretty much correct. These drawings are meant to be cute little cartoons that show the person's personality through the details and the colours. I am actually capable of drawing in "technically" better styles it is just really fun to draw friends and fellow bloggers in this cute way. While I appreciate your feedback I feel that it may not have been very well informed. I'm glad you like my
      hair and outfits though, they can get kind of wacky at times ;)

    2. Thanky for replying!
      And thanks for the clarification on the style. It's just that I've seen a few bloggers experimenting and it got out of hand for my taste. Fame in the internets can cause people to think they can pull of anything, literally. That's why I was so blunt. I'm actually not in the place for critisizing, because obviously it's your blog, and you like to do what's fun and thats ok! But as a reader I'm fond of certain topics, and will always be searching for the quality content which made me follow your blog.

      :)
      Have a wonderful day and keep doing what you're doing!

  19. Your illustrations are simply adorable Elycia! I love how each blogger has a theme based on their own interests (like cameras and hot drinks). And as a published illustrated, may I say that I think you have a lot of talent in drawing.
