Hi, I’m Emily, a MI-based illustrator and graphic designer dreaming of drawing for kidlit books!

My favorite things to illustrate are cute little critters and the whimsical environments they inhabit✨

peachtober day 11 - seagull✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25seagull

this was another tough one for me since seagulls don’t really fit in the woodland critter vibe lol, but then I saw a quilt online with animals in the pattern and was inspired to make this cozy bedtime scene!

peachtober day 10 - critter✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25critter

celebrating making it to day 10 with this cute mama mouse walking her little critter to school, look how ready he is to learn🥹

I was so excited for this prompt, it’s so me! I had so much fun drawing this little duo

peachtober day 09 - rope✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25rope

I’m gonna be honest, this prompt stumped me. I had a hard time figuring out how to fit it in with my woodland critter theme, but I ended up with this bunny having fun on a rope swing!

tune in tomorrow for a cute critter duo🫶

peachtober day 08 - leaf✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25leaf

this cute little guy is having the coziest day as he…leafs…through his book, get it?🍁 *wink wink*

tune in tomorrow for someone having fun in the fresh autumn air!🍂

peachtober day 07 - strawberry✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25strawberry

fresh strawberry jam anyone??

I think I was subconsciously inspired by the skunk that sells hats and shoes in animal crossing for this one lol

tune in tomorrow for a little guy that’s staying in for a cozy day📖

peachtober day 06 - ring✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25ring

guys what do we think she’s chatting to her bestie about? town gossip? the hottest new soup recipe? let me know!

we all know her phone is going to be ringing alllllll day long, so she’s perfect for this prompt!

peachtober day 05 - poppy✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25poppy

okay hear me out…is drawing a critter popping a bubble kinda a stretch for the poppy prompt? yes. but just roll with me on it lol

besides who doesn’t love a little father daughter duo having some fun outside before it gets too cold?

peachtober day 04 - gingham✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25gingham

doesn’t she just look too cute in her brand new gingham dress?🥹

so so happy that my feed is completely full of peachtober pieces, it’s so fun to scroll and see how everyone interprets the same prompts!!

peachtober day 03 - slug✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25slug

have you ever had that sluggish feeling after taking a really long nap? this guy sure has!

I knew I didn’t want to draw an actual slug for this one, so I did my best to convey slug vibes with a different critter!

peachtober day 02 - kite✨
#peachtober25 #peachtober25kite

so loved playing around with the idea of how a critter might be able to play with a kite on a day that’s not so windy, they’d recruit their best bird friend of course!

tune in tomorrow for someone that’s feeling a little sluggish🐌

@ the old woman next to me in the theater seeing thunderbolts who spent the entire second half of the movie googling pics of bill pullman…….i feel you

Emily Paige @emilypaigedraws.bsky.social · May 5

I love that, you have way more patience than me🤣

Emily Paige @emilypaigedraws.bsky.social · May 5

me except I always skip the step of letting the butter get to room temp and then I wonder why the recipe doesn’t come out right

my take on the lovely Miss Vera Vixen and Lenore Lee from the Shady Hollow book series!✨

Vera is the star reporter at the Shady Hollow Herald and Lenore runs the town’s best (and only) silo-turned-bookstore, Nevermore Books. These best friends are always down for a good mystery!🔍

Ahh thank you Matt!! I was getting bored of the plain backgrounds and I’ve been having fun thinking of background elements that are on theme with the characters!

29/70 - Pepe🤩 #TheMuppets70
Pepe has definitely grown to be one of my favorite Muppets, especially after his groundbreaking performance in Muppets Haunted Mansion👻

Also when I couldn’t think of what to put as his background element, I died laughing when I realized it had to just be “okay”🤣🤣

I don’t care what anyone says, all I want is a Wicked sweep at tonight’s Oscars 💚🩷

(ps I know this is unrealistic but a girl can dream)

Emily Paige @emilypaigedraws.bsky.social · Mar 2

Had so much fun with this #DTIYSchallenge, thanks @mattiscribbles!!

It was a nice change to draw something new outside of my big projects and the Muppets, I loved playing around with making this into my style! It really helps me to see how my style is evolving.

27/70 - Dr. Bunsen Honeydew🧪 #TheMuppets70
More Muppet catch-up happening over here!✨ (swipe for a time lapse!)

I was SO excited to draw Bunsen! I’ve always loved the fact that he has no eyes, just glasses🤣 I also just saw Muppet Vision 3D for the last time, so this timing felt right lol!
