Hi! I am Pauline. I live in Europe and I mostly draw various real and fantastic critters. I love seeing new art and while I do not do commissions or sell my art at the moment, I am usually up for art-trades 💛 🚫genAI🚫

To celebrate reaching one 1k followers here, I wanted to host a little #DTIYS challenge/art giveaway featuring the three little travellers 🌱

I will pick 2-3 participants to receive a custom drawing of a new traveller from me 🎨

More info, dates, and rules in the comments 💛

#cuteart #art

An image with three little animal travellers: a wren in a blue cloak, a woodmouse in a green coat, and a mole in a red knitted sweater.
The writing on the image says: Draw* this in your style (arrows to the three travellers).

1. Pick a traveller
2. Make some art*
3. Quote this/tag me
* Any art you make yourself! (no AI)

I've been going to a linocut seminar this month and it's been so much fun! Here's a print of Theo and his accordion. #linocut #linoprint #fox #accordion #linoleum #printing

That’s such a fluffy, sleepy pumpkin 🧡

Watercolor illustration of a bunch of colorful pumpkins, with a beige striped cat sleeping on top of them curled up into a ball, slightly resembling the round pumpkins itself.

Additional Prices 1/3
Since I loved all of your drawings so much, I want to give you a little something back by including a character for you in a future drawing. Instead of a full commission, they might be drawn for a prompt or in a group with other critters.

Gather around for a buggy story time! 🐝🐛🐜📖

I had to draw @paulinedrawsbears.bsky.social adorable mole traveler for her #DTIYS challenge. It was fun to make this! I asked some friends what bug they would be (I am the inch worm!).

A digital illustration of a mole character wearing a red sweater reading a book. In front of him are: a bumble bee on a leaf, a millipede semi curled up, a pill bug, and inch worm. Behind the mole is a stick with an earthworm draped across it. At the end of the stick is a bright star shaped lantern.
