Brave Illustration

Hay everyone!

The past few months have been really hectic, from peter breaking his arms to moving house.

Finally I've gotten all settled in, and a lovely desk set up. :)

I'm not one of those lucky people that can work anywhere, I like having my space and desk with me in the centre surrounded with all my arty things.

So I drew an image of Merida and Mom bear from Brave. I really love that film,  it has to be one of my fave Pixar films.

Here are some work in progress shots
I tend to post these more on my instagram profile for convenience, if you have instagram check me out, my username is Ellenstration.

Now for the art work!!!

My finished work done with mixed media.
Taken on my phone so sorry about the quality, I can't get the hang of photographing my work.

Busy Weeks, Hairy Wall!

Such busy weeks!


I have finished Uni for good now, bye bye  Plymouth University.
I am now officially and Illustrator eeek!  
Here are my photos from my degree show.




It took me four days to draw all that hair on in gold pen!

The begining....

The projection of my line art

And here is my progress little by little.

Look at all the pens I used!

Any way this was my wall, it is all gone now :(
I hope you don't mind the giant photo dump.
Toodles xx


p.s and you know what? I'd happily do it all again, its such fun to draw on a wall!!!

Under the Sea

The next in the series of Hairy Tales is The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson.


A few weeks ago I already posted her line art so here is the little mermaid with the objects in her hair.

I wanted to look as if her hair is floating underwater, I also liked how my own little version of the sea witch came out. I hope you like it all too :)

Beast Screen printed

Here is Beast from my Hairy Tales series, in all his screen printed glory!

He took quite a while to draw out. His face had so many little lines.

Well I hope you like him, I'm pleased with how he turned out.

He is lighter than Snow White mainly because his mane isn't black it going to be brown. :)

Beast with Objects

A short post today.

Here is Beast with all his objects in his hair.

I'm pleased on how this turned out.

Beast Doodles

So once Snow White was out of the way I moved onto the tale, "Beauty and the Beast" one of my favourite stories in all its many forms.

I was going to do Belle but in the original story she wasn't described very much or at all, and I wanted to stay away from doing Disney fan art. 
So I thought I should mix it up and do Beast instead.


Here are my doodles and drawings of me trying to figure out what the hell I wanted Beast to look like.
I know I wanted him furry so I looked at tons of lions, but I wanted him to be quite mythical so crazy horns and snake tongues was the way forward!

These images would normally be shoved in a deep dark draw somewhere but some made me giggle specially the one where he looks like a ghost, so I thought I'd share them with you too.
Because everyone needs a giggle.

I'm Still Alive

Hay everyone!


Sorry I haven't posted in aaaaaaages, I've been super busy with finishing work and putting up my end of degree show.

So the next few posts will be all the work I wanted to put up but just lacked the time.
I guess thats what happens when I'm in the studio from 10am to 11pm.


So below is Snow White from my Hairy Tales series all drawn out and has been screen printed.
I hope you like her, the tests I did earlier where I tried out different pens really helped.

The Little Mermaid

Here is the line art for The Little Mermaid image I'm working on.

I've been so busy that I haven't posted any images of Beast or the finished illustration of Snow White.

But very soon I will post all of what I've been working on.
