I Left My Job To Be A Full-Time Illustrator, Here Are 30 Cute Moments I Created With Watercolor And Ink
I've been drawing for the majority of my life, but a few months ago I left my job to be a full-time freelance illustrator.
In between working on projects, I love making some personal illustrations and experimenting to develop my skills. I started to avoid illustrating just sole characters, and instead, I try to create whole situations, background, and environments.
These are some of my works, you can see more of what I do on my Instagram. I am trying to grow my social media and connect with more artistic communities out there.
I hope you enjoy my illustrations!

I love when mermaids are chillin' in bathtubs/pools w/ they're tails sticking out; but do you think it's like when your feet stick out the end of the bed for us?

This reminds me so much of the short story "Werewolf Loves Mermaid" by Heather Lindsley. Both are wonderful.

The cat and the hat are a nice touch, I can see them in other drawings as well.

Стилът Ви е невероятен, навява топли чувства и спомени като чаша топло какао и любима книга в студен зимен ден. Наистина ми е интересно какви са историите на героите Ви. :)

These are so much fun to look at. You are so good and it's easy to sense the warmth in your vision. It shows in your illustrations. I paint in watercolor too but never tried illustrations like these. It looks like fun and I will probably try it too.

The pictures look so soft, peaceful and soothing. Just what I needed today. I went to a funeral today (and it's been less of a month since I've last been at another funeral) and now these pictures helped calm me down, bring me back some hope, perk me up as well as distract me for a bit. Thank you
Clementine Petrova (Post author) 5 years ago
I am so sorry to hear that, be strong! I am glad my art helped you out, even it is for a brief moment

Wow. All of these are so wonderful, and you are so talented. Also, I love how the people are different. They have different body shapes, hair, and seem to have different personalities. You are so good! One request though, could you try drawing more POC? Overall, I love it so much ❤️

All I have to say is WOW, all your stuff looks AMAZING!! I especially loved all the levels of layering and blending in each piece. The last one, with the girl in the water looked so cool, and I never even had to guess which part of her was underneath the water and what part wasn’t. Do you have any tips for someone who just started using water colors? And ink too 😅 Hope you have a nice day!

For me, the most moving art is the kind that really shows a bit of the artist's spirit. All of these do that very nicely - a very enjoyable post. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your spirit with the rest of us!

Great artwork, Clementine, I love the way you make the most of a few colors and get incredible results. I see some Manga influence as well (or so I think).
