I’m an illustrator and I recently took up clay sculpting, as a hobby. My daily job is really SEO consulting but I began my career working as an illustrator. It doesn’t pay much so I soon went back to consulting but I always really loved drawing and painting.
I have a small Twitter account, and as I reached 2500 followers I thought I’d make something special: a drawing with a hundred items. I let my followers choose the subject and otters came up. It took a few days for me to dive in the otters drawing and at first, I found it a bit hard to draw the same animal over and over. But after 10 otters or so I really liked it and found new ways to draw them. In a few days, I was done with the actual pencil drawing and I went on to paint them with watercolors.
Meanwhile, I was taking a pottery class in Montréal, Canada. I love clay sculpting but I was not good at making pots and mugs so one day, I said to my teacher: “sorry but, I’d like to try and make little animals, is it ok with you?” She agreed, as curious as I was to see the result.
And I immediately loved sculpting those little critters. I began with the otters, as I was super happy with my 100 otters painting. And after that, I couldn’t stop!
I’m now spending a few hours a week in my pottery workshop and I hope my small ceramic animals will find new homes soon!

I like the drawings, paintings, & sculptures! They are all very cute. I agree that the drawings & paintings are of a generally higher quality than the sculptures but they are all so cute and you are so talented!

Your drawings really have something magical about them...(I love your clay platypus!) Do you sell any of your work?

They are very cute, but I think you should practice more with clay. Iβm not trying to be mean or anything, I just think that they would look more appealing with practice. Good luck^^

Btw, I made a post of my own but it's not showing. How do i get it to go public?? :/

It'll go public eventually. You may need to wait a couple of days but then you should see it. Also, those posts never pop up in search results (idk why but they won't, even after they go public.) People will need to click on your profile to view them. Just wait :)
