❁❀⋆Inktober 2022 ⋆❀❁
I don’t have anything new to post right now, so here are some drawings I made for inktober two years ago :D I’m still super proud of these honestly! In fact, I’m currently re-drawing the fairy one in full colour bc I really like the concept hehe ( = ⩊ = )
You can use these as colouring pages if you want! Just please tag me if you do! I’d be super happy to see what others make with these (✧ω✧)
˚₊‧꒰ა Meet the artist! ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
I DID IT I DID IT I FINALLY DID IT!!!!! I FINISHED MY MEET THE ARTIST SHEET!!!!!!!! OH MY GOOOOD I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S DONE!!!!!!! I’ve only done this once in my life before so I hope I got it right and this works as a little get-to-know-me sheet :D
I added a bunch of tiny details to this drawing soo I hope someone appreciates the effort (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
A poster I made for a client weeks ago for a school musical! I edited the movie’s typeface to something more retro, & subdued the psychadelic 1970’s color palette. But I tried to keep the original zany tone of the story. I also had to keep that iconic purple!
I had so much fun doing the #mermaychallenge last year, I thought I'd do again. Of course I couldn't resist adding a cheeky little crab in there. Is anyone else doing the Mermay challenge ? . . . #mermayday1 #mermaychallenge2021 #mermaypromptlist #mermayday #mermadie #mermay #mermay2021 #mermaiddrawing #mermaidart #wacommermay2021 #gallerynucleus #childrensillustrator #childrensillustration #picturebookart #picturebookartist #illustrationforkids #mermaid #crab #crabsofinstagram #ocean #sunset #childrensbookillustration #artchallenge #camillemermay #myart #sky #cutemermaid #kidlitillustration #kidlitart (at Nottingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPA4nScHZ59/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌸 #Mermay: Neon Koi | Speedpaint in Adobe Photoshop | Dazhka Claire 🌸
I finally finished it! This is my first time recording a speed paint in Photoshop. I had a lot of fun with it, but knowing it’s recording is a bit nerve-wracking! I’m pleased with how my Mermie turned out (she’s my first one ever...I don’t know why either). I’m excited to paint another one! 🐠🐠🐠

EN|| Today is my birthday!! Happy birthday to me (hahahaha) and to all the Taurus out there!! And for everybody else, a very merry unbirthday to you! Wish you all have a wonderful day! ✨🎂
ES|| ¡Hoy es mi cumpleaños! ¡Feliz cumpleaños a todos los tauros! ¡Y para todos los demás, feliz, feliz no cumpleaños! ¡Espero que tengáis un día maravilloso! ✨🎂
EN|| I’ve being trying something new. I usually draw my illustrations with black outlines, either in pencil or vector. So, I’ve done a series of illustrations about baby animals with their mothers, experimenting with flat colors, only using lines in “small places” to make separations. I think I quite like the final pieces... Let me know what you think! 🤍 To start the series, a giraffe mum and her cute little child looking up to her. Always learning new things to thrive in the world.🦒☀️
ES|| Estos días he estado probando algo nuevo. Normalmente suelo dibujar mis ilustraciones con contornos negros, ya sea a lápiz o con vectores. Así que he hecho una serie de ilustraciones sobre crías de animales con sus madres, experimentando con colores planos y usando las líneas negras solo en pequeños puntos para crear separaciones entre planos. Creo que me gusta bastante el resultado final de las piezas... ¡Contadme qué os parece a vosotros!🤍 Para empezar la serie, una mamá jirafa y su adorable cría mirando hacia arriba, admirándola. Siempre aprendiendo cosas nuevas para prosperar y “florecer” en el mundo.🦒☀️
EN|| Hi! I don’t usually join art trends, but I love this one, so I made a sketch of my “artist starter pack” against AI. Because human creativity is the only way! 💪🏼✨ My pack includes: 🔹Me working in my pajamas and multiple socks. 🔹A cup of tea and a thermos. Red tea with rooibos and spices in the mornings and often some @yogitea in the afternoons. 🔹My adorable baby fig tree (I love putting seeds in pots and watching them grow). 🔹Lots of books to devour. 🔹Fruits, vegetables and dark chocolate. 🔹My inseparable boots and all the little animals we see together. 🔹iPad for Procreate, MacBook for Illustrator and Photoshop and a worn-out pencil for everything!
Have fun creating your own version!! ♥️✏️
ES|| ¡Hola! No suelo sumarme a tendencias artísticas, pero esta me ha encantado, así que aquí tenéis un boceto de mi " starter pack de artista" contra la IA. Mi paquete incluye: 🔹A mí trabajando en pijama y con varios calcetines gorditos. 🔹Una taza de té y un termo. Té rojo con rooibos y especias por las mañanas y, a menudo, alguna de @yogitea por las tardes. 🔹Mi adorable higuera bebé (me encanta poner semillas en macetas y verlas crecer). 🔹Un montón de libros para devorar. 🔹Frutas, verduras y chocolate negro. 🔹Mis botas inseparables y todos los animalitos que vemos juntas. 🔹iPad para Procreate, MacBook para Illustrator y Photoshop, ¡y un lápiz desgastado para todo!
¡Diviértete creando tu propia versión! ♥️✏️
ES|| A veces hago retratos de mascotas. Este es un encargo que hice, ya hace un tiempo, para un regalo sorpresa de cumpleaños. El retrato de Bru, un pequeño y adorable podenco que vive en Barcelona y le encanta pasear con su dueña. Bru está rodeado de estrellas que simbolizan todos los mejores deseos para la cumpleañera, así como hojas verdes y flores rojas típicas de un camino con mucho significado para el cliente, el perro y la destinataria. 🌸🌿 Si estás buscando encargar un retrato de una mascota o si quieres más información sobre encargos o prints, envíame un correo electrónico a annaflorsdefum@gmail.com!
EN|| Sometimes I do pet portraits. This is a commission I did some time ago for a surprise birthday present, a portrait of Bru a little adorable podenco who lives in Barcelona and loves to walk with his owner. Bru is surrounded by stars symbolizing all the best wishes for the birthday girl and green leaves and red flowers typical of a path with a lot of meaning for the client, the dog and the recipient. 🌸🌿 If you are looking to commission a pet portrait or If you want more information about commissions or prints, email me at annaflorsdefum@gmail.com!
ES|| Mandad mucho amor a vuestros seres queridos todos los días, sea San Valentín o no!! A veces suelo pensar que no nos decimos suficiente lo mucho que nos apreciamos los unos a los otros. Espero que disfrutéis mucho el día de los enamorados y el fin de semana!!✨ He hecho esta “animación” rápida, un poco brusca, de la conejita cartera que hice el año pasado para San Valentín. Una señora conejo que va cargada de mensajitos de amor, rápida, sin miedo, por un camino un poco bacheado pero decidida a llevar cada carta a su destinatario correspondiente! ♥️🐰
EN|| Send lots of love to your loved ones every day, whether it’s Valentine's Day or not!! Sometimes I feel like we don't tell each other enough how much we appreciate each other. I hope you enjoy Valentine's Day and the weekend!!✨ I made this quick, slightly rough "animation" of the little mailbunny I made for last year Valentine's Day. A little bunny carrying love messages, fast, fearless, on a bumpy road but determined to get each letter to its intended recipient! ♥️🐰
Hi! It's #KidLitArtPostcard again!

Happy lunar new year!! I wish you all a wonderful year of the wood sssssnake! Let’s hope this creature brings us good luck and new beginnings.
My version of this year's wooden snake is accompanied by kittens so that it doesn't feel lonely. I started a bit stuck with the composition of the snake, because I didn't want it to look like last year's dragon, at first all the compositions seemed a bit bland to me and finally I decided to put the cats as sweet companions (like the rabbits last year) and the frame around it.
If you look at the frame, I have drawn the different lunar phases and different typical elements of each season of the year. Can you find them all?🐍♥️
My art vs artist 2024. This year I have no photo in the center (you all must know I’m quite camera-shy) but a cute self-portrait. I was always a little scared of drawing humans and especially myself, but, for me, this year I think it has been the year of illustrator and self-portraits.
Thank you for all the love and support and for sticking around with me despite this algorithm that seems determined to hide all my posts. I can’t wait to share more of my illustrations, stories full of nature and adventures with you in 2025. Wishing you all an incredible and wonderful year!🤍
✨Reshares are greatly appreciated!!✨
ES|| Como la mayoría de dulces no me gustan, los últimos años me he aficionado a hacer mis propias galletas y repostería para navidad. El año pasado hice galletas de chocolate con sal, galletas de mantequilla y te macha y muffins de cacao con pepitas de chocolate. El año anterior fue un surtido de galletas de diferentes tipos, des de pockys a galletas con glaseado de azúcar pistachos y rosas, pasando por galletas de chocolate y jengibre. Este año, en cambio, para el día de navidad he hecho un delicioso bizcocho de cacao y un bundt cake de te matcha, así que ahora mismo estoy más o menos como el gato regordete de la ilustración, disfrutando, con los mofletes como un hámster, llenos de lo que ha sobrado de pastel. Espero que todos podáis descansar un poco este fin de semana antes de fin de año!❄️❄️
EN|| Since I don't like most sweets, the last few years I've been getting into making my own cookies and pastries for Christmas. Last year I made chocolate cookies with a dash of salt, butter matcha cookies and chocolate chip muffins. The year before that it was an assortment of different types of cookies, from pockys to sugar glazed cookies with pistachio and rose petals, and even chocolate and ginger cookies. This year, however, for Christmas Day I've made a delicious cocoa cake and a matcha tea bundt cake. So right now, I'm more or less like the chubby cat in the illustration, enjoying myself, with my cheeks like a hamster, full of leftover cake. I hope you all can get some rest this weekend before the end of this year! ❄️❄️
ES|| Felices fiestas a todos!! Espero que paséis unos días geniales, libres de ansiedad y llenos de alegría, amor y empatía, con vosotros mismos y con vuestros seres más queridos, ya sean vuestra familia (escogida o no), hagan la fotosíntesis o sean peludos!🎄✨
Este año he reinterpretado el árbol de navidad del año pasado! Creo que el árbol ha quedado un poco más dinámico con sus ramas-brazo. Además, esta vez he diseñado dos versiones porque cuando ya tenía acabada la versión de las letras pensé que sería divertida una versión con más animalitos.🐰❄️
EN|| Happy Holidays to everyone!! I hope you have a great time, anxiety free and full of joy, love and empathy, with yourselves and with your loved ones, whether they are your family (chosen or not), do photosynthesis or they’re furry!🎄✨
This year I have reinterpreted last year's Christmas tree! I think the tree has become a bit more dynamic with its arm-branches. Also, this time I have designed two versions because when I had already finished the version with the letters, I thought it would be so much fun to have a version with more animals.🐰❄️
Hello! I'm Anna, your trustworthy little witch artist. If you want to commission an illustration, you can write me an email at: annaflorsdefum@gmail.com . You'll find me drawing, reading children's books, books about ethnobotany or anything that falls into my hands, making herbal potions or looking and discovering animals.🌿✨
I made this "quick" illustration for this season #kidlitartpostcard to celebrate the arrival of autumn, the season where the days get shorter, the nights longer, the time of witches on brooms, chestnuts, mushrooms, pumpkins and red leaves. It's inspired by the #peachtober24 theme SKY. Furthermore, this illustration also serves to vindicate the work of artists and illustrators who put all their effort and heart into their work to be able to live from it, against AI that, at the moment, only serves to steal the work of many and enrich a little few.
Hi #KidLitArtPostcard!
I'm Anna an illustrator and #kidlit author who loves drawing nature and stories with lots of animals.
I'm looking for new and exciting projects. I'd love to work on more picture and board books!

ES|| Como cada año en verano parezco un disco rayado, quejándome del calor que hace mientras trabajo delante del ordenador. Estos días estoy dibujando peces y más peces para un proyecto muy refrescante que verá la luz el año que viene. Suerte de las infusiones con cubitos del tamaño de una piscina olímpica que me acompañan!! 🥝🍋🌿
EN|| Like every other summer I already sound like a broken record, complaining about the heat while working in front of the computer. These days I'm drawing fishes and more fishes for a very refreshing project that will see the light of day next year. I’m very grateful for the herbal teas with many ice cubes the size of an Olympic pool that keep me company!!🥝🍋🌿
ES|| Es tiempo de helados!! 🍦☀️ Yo, como no puedo comérmelos, los dibujo bien cuquis con sus pestañas largas. A decir verdad, he hecho una pandilla entera de heladitos de colores que, a pesar del calor que hace, aguantan monísimos siempre con una sonrisa en la cara. La pandilla “Helados felices” está formada por: Cream, Choco-mint, Scoops, Sprinkles, RoseBerry y Wavy. Este de aquí es “Wavy” un helado de crema de vainilla con virutas de colores, dos barquillos y un cono de galleta con sabor vainilla decorada con corazoncitos. A pesar de su aspecto, Wavy tiene un carácter tranquilo y siempre está disponible a escuchar los problemas de los otros y aconsejarlos lo mejor que sus habilidades le permitan. Es ideal saborearlo para tomarse un respiro o en un momento de llorera incontrolada.🤍
EN|| It’s ice cream season!!🍦☀️ Since I can't eat them, I draw very cute ice creams with their long eyelashes. To tell you the truth, I’ve made a whole crew of colourful fun ice creams that, despite the heat, don’t melt, instead they hold up with a smile on their face. The “Happy Ice Cream” gang is made up of: Cream, Choco-mint, Scoops, Sprinkles, RoseBerry and Wavy. This one is “Wavy,” a heart decorated vanilla cone with a vanilla flavoured wavy ice cream, sprinkles and two biscuits. Despite his appearance, Wavy has a calm demeanour and is always available to listen to other people’s problems and advise them to the best of her abilities. It’s ideal to savour it while taking a break or in a moment of uncontrolled crying.🤍
ES|| Esta soy yo y mi gato imaginario.☀️ Para los que no me conozcáis: Me llamo Anna Valpuesta Farré y soy ilustradora infantil. Nací y vivo en Barcelona y me apasiona crear personajes adorables que solo con mirarlos me saquen una sonrisa. En mis tiempos libres soy una voraz devoradora de libros y siempre llevo una taza o termo de infusión de hierbas en la mano (fresquita en verano y calentita en invierno). Me encanta la naturaleza y los animales, siempre voy mirando los pájaros, las flores y plantas, las abejas y cualquier animalillo que me pase por delante… Me fascina descubrir animales que no sabía que existían en el mundo y tengo una llista mental de animales que sería un sueño ver en directo en su hábitat natural. Por este motivo siempre aparece naturaleza en mis ilustraciones. Ahh! Y me gusta hacer fotos, pero no que me las hagan y creo que esta es la primera vez que hago un autorretrato!! 🌻🐝
EN|| This is me and my imaginary cat.☀️ For those of you who don't know me: My name is Anna Valpuesta Farré and I’m a children's illustrator. I'm from Barcelona and I’m passionate about creating adorable characters that just by looking at them make you smile. In my free time I’m a voracious devourer of books and I always carry a cup or a thermos of herbal tea in my hand (cool in the summer and warm in the winter). I absolutely love nature and animals, I’m always looking at birds, flowers and plants, bees and any little animal that passes by... It fascinates me to discover animals that I didn’t know existed in the world and I have a mental list of animals that It would be a dream come true to see live in its natural habitat. For this reason, nature is always present in my illustrations. Ahh! And I like taking photos, but not being in them. I think this is the first time I've made a self-portrait!! 🌻🐝
ES|| Este conejo no es una sirena, aunque poco le falta. El conejo más aventurero del mundo, después de viajar al espacio a conocer los planetas y las estrellas, se ha aficionado a ponerse el neopreno y las aletas y salir a explorar uno de los mundos más desconocidos del planeta Tierra, el océano. Todos los dibujos están inspirados en animales marinos reales, podéis reconocer alguno de ellos? Si tuviera que escoger uno de estos animalitos para poder verlo de cerca creo que me quedaría con la ballena, la tortuga o uno de los peces globo, aunque todos me parecen bastante curiosos y el mundo marino, en general, es impresionantemente rico, aún me sorprendo descubriendo peces de colores y formas que no imaginaba posibles y, además, todavía estamos descubriendo nuevas especies. 🐋🐡🐠
EN|| This rabbit is not a mermaid, although it’s very close to one. The most adventurous rabbit in the world, after traveling to space to meet the planets and stars, he is putting on his wetsuit and fins and going out to explore one of the most unknown worlds on planet Earth, the ocean. All the drawings are inspired by real marine animals, can you recognize any of them? If I had to choose one of these little animals to see up close, I think I’d choose the blue whale, the turtle or one of the puffer fish, although all the creatures in there seem quite interesting to me and the marine world, in general, is impressively rich, I still surprise myself by discovering fish of colors and shapes that I did not imagine possible and, furthermore, we are still discovering new species. 🐋🐡🐠
Today is my birthday!! So I'm gonna eat cake and make a wish (I love this tradition, if you want to know it's origins go to my last year's birthday post)!! 🍰✨
Happy birthday to all the Taurus out there!! Wish you all have a wonderful day! 🌠
ES|| Hay un montón de cosas con las que quiero experimentar, aunque parece que nunca encuentro el momento (No os pasa lo mismo? Parece que el tiempo se me esfume entre las manos!!). Una de estas cosas es hacer patterns. Os muestro un experimento que hice con los dibujitos laterales de la ilustración de conejitos para pascua. Ya sé que destacan más son los conejitos que las estrellas, incluido el sol, pero es difícil superar ese nivel de adorable!🐰✨
Qué os parece el resultado? Creo que, aunque sea la primera vez que experimento con este tipo de composiciones, ha quedado bastante bien! Ya me lo imagino en papeles de regalo y libretas… Vosotros donde creéis que podría quedar genial un estampado como este?
EN|| There are a lot of things I want to experiment with, although I never seem to find the time to do them (Isn't the same thing happening to you? It seems like time is slipping through my hands!!). One of the things I always wanted to try is making patterns. Here you can see an experiment I did with the side drawings of the bunny illustration for Easter. I know that the bunnies stand out more than the stars, including the sun, but it's hard to beat that level of cuteness!🐰✨
What do you think of the result? I think that, although it’s the first time I experiment with this type of compositions, it has turned out quite well! I can already imagine it on wrapping paper and notebooks... Where do you think a print like this could look great?
Happy Easter!! 🐰🐇🐣
ES|| Disfrutad de la "mona" y del chocolate! Este pastel en el que están trabajando tan duramente los conejitos (bueno, casi todos, algunos solo saben hacer travesuras y comerse trocitos de escondidas) me recuerda a las monas de cuando era pequeña, aunque la faltan las plumas de colores y los pollitos
EN|| Enjoy the "mona" and chocolate! This cake that the bunnies are working so hard on (well, almost all of them, some of them only know how to get into mischief and eat little pieces while hiding) reminds me of the “monas” my childhood, although it lacks the colored feathers and the little chicks.
Hay veces que lo que te atraviesa el corazón no es una flecha de Cupido… “Art lover” es un personaje inspirado en los amores diferentes y, en especial en todos los amantes del arte y aquellos que, como yo, siempre llevan un lápiz encima! ♥️✏️💗
There are times when what pierces your heart is not a Cupid's arrow... “Art lover” is a character inspired by different kinds of love and, especially by all art lovers and those who, like me, always carry a pencil with them!♥️✏️💗
ES|| Hay muchísimos tipos diferentes de amor y este cartero está preparado para repartir todo tipo de cartas a todo tipo de destinatarios! Siempre me ha parecido un poco absurdo fijar un solo día para celebrar el amor, y menos si se trata de uno estándar con unos roles predeterminados, con mucho consumismo y con poco sentimiento. El amor, de todo tipo en su infinidad de formas (¡Ah eso sí, todos menos los que son tóxicos!), tendría que celebrarse todos los días del año, ya sea el amor por la familia, el amor por una o varias parejas, el amor por los amigos, por los animales de compañía, por el planeta tierra, por el arte o, el que le gusta más a este conejito trabajador, el amor más importante de todos (y a veces el más difícil) el amor a uno mismo, siempre sin caer en el egocentrismo. Así que ya sabéis celebrad el amor todos los días! ♥️
EN|| There are many different kinds of love and this postbunny is prepared to deliver all types of letters to all types of recipients! To me it has always seemed a little absurd to set a single day to celebrate love, and even more so if it’s a standard love with predetermined roles, a lot of consumerism and little feeling. Love, of all types in its infinite forms (Oh yes, all except the toxic ones!), should be celebrated every day of the year, whether if it’s love for family, love for one or more partners, the love for friends, for pets, for the planet Earth, for art or, the one this hard-working bunny likes the most, the most important form of love (and sometimes the most difficult) the love for oneself, always without falling into egocentrism. So go and celebrate love every day!! ♥️
