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'm so sorry for your cactus 💛 (I also love the image of a little thieving animal building a hoard of potted plants 🪴🌵)

#Birdtober bird of the day is a Wyandotte chicken? Well, I can't resist reposting this lovely person then!

Digital drawing of a striking white bird whose feathers are all edged in black, creating a stunning pattern. It has a red comb and wattles and a golden eye. It is holding a tiny bouquet of flowers with pink, blue, and white petals in the colors of the trans flag.

This autumn rat likes to dream while watching leaves drift along the lake 🍂

#art #cuteart #artyear #mammals #rattober #peachtober #blueskyartshow #relax

A digital drawing of a red sitting on a wooden bridge at the short of a lake. The rat is wearing a green jacket with yellow and green gingham sleeves and mushrooms stitched onto the pocket, a yellow scarf and brown pants with patches on them. Its feet are bare and one of them is barely dipping into the lake. next to the rat there are a cup filled with a dark brown liquid and a sketchbook with a pencil. yellow oak leaves swirling around the rat and resting in the lake - two of them boats for a barely discernable tiny brown bug and a similarly tiny red bug, floating towards each other.

Wisptober Day 3 - Fence

"The traveller Startled! Between one moment and the next, a horned figure appeared crouching on the old fence post..."

I am sure all they will do is ask the traveller a riddle.;)

I took a look at the german list and I get why the translation fails - it's a lot of wordplay ^^' let me know if you would like an attempt at a proper translation with explanations!

I love the colors and lighting in this 💛 And the cat, of course 🐈‍⬛️
