Myriam's Illustrations

I know I posted this one already a little while back, but I was scrolling through my phone and this one hit home for some reason so I hope you don't mind me reposting it. 😫 I keep wondering what the world will look like once this is all over. We are going through an enormous, tremendously impactful collective trauma, and it feels like life has been reduced to its essential parts and is being dismantled in front of our very eyes. It's an instance in which, as social animals, we would crave the reassuring, loving contact of others, but we are dangerous for each other, as well as being essential too. The contradicting nature of such an event is so deep and so all-encompassing. I feel so much despair because I want to comfort and help as many as I can, while I also have to deal with my own inner turmoil. It's all so life-altering and incomprehensible, all so deeply impactful and important. We will all come out of this different, and I wonder what it will all look like. I hope you are well wonderful people, you have my heart and my thoughts, and my thanks for being all incredible. . . . . . #sketch #artwork #pencilart #pencilsketch #snakedrawing #mentalhealthart #arttherapy #strangetimes #myriamtillson #lifechanging #collectivetrauma #strangeart #sketchbookart #sketchbookdrawing #penandpencil #inmysketchbook #mondayfeeling #instaart #artistoninstagram #instadrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Fl1VEBlzk/?igshid=1uicpqpqydou5

Hey peeps!! I'm BEYOND thrilled to be able to announce that my painting "Bare" was chosen to be a part of Infected by Art Volume 8! I'm so excited and overjoyed to be part of such a tremendous book project. This was my second year submitting work, and I am a fervent admirer of a lot of artists in the publication, so it feels incredible to be given the opportunity to be represented among them. My impostor syndrome is having a field day but hey, to hell with it for once. 😊 Thank you to the judging panel for allowing me to be a part of this, and thank you so much for your support everybody!!! . . . . . #gouachepainting #watercolorart #aquarelle #surrealart #infectedbyart #artbook #gouache #watercolorpainting #myriamtillson #nightsky #instagramartist #artofdrawingg #instaartist #paintingoftheday #🎨 #paintingonpaper #freelance #watercolorillustration #watercolor_gallery #mutedcolors #mentalhealthart https://www.instagram.com/p/B79JHarBd_N/?igshid=racgik37opvv

OK, this one is weird, but honestly, this is what I'm enjoying drawing at the moment. Weirdly invasive imagery. You can't see them in this image but I have lots of notes next to this drawing, with ideas on how to take it further and ways of painting it. I'll probably make a Patreon post about it. I have ideas buzzing around in my head that don't make all that much sense but need to come out and and find a life of their own. It's exciting and a bit confusing sometimes too. Let's see where it all goes shall we ? 😉 Hope you had a good Monday peeps. Mine was mostly spent on taxes. 😭😅 Yay for productivity I guess 😅 Loves ya ❤ . . . . . #sketchbookstuff #weirddrawing #redandblack #pencilonpaper #pencildrawing #watercolorpencils #coloredpencils #graphitedrawing #surrealart #symbolism #weirdstuff #myriamtillson #letsbeweirdtogether #mondayfeeling #instaart #artistoninstagram #doodle #surrealart #strange #facedrawing #experiment https://www.instagram.com/p/B71aaaohhIr/?igshid=1iivetf4qpt7v

Really enjoying working with coloured pencils at the moment. Have I moved on from my black squares phase? Maybe. Not sure. We'll see 😁 Hope you had a good day peeps, I'm off to spend my evening doing my tax return because even though I'm generally quite organised, tax returns are definitely a last minute matter😂😅 Wish me luck 😭 . . . . #Thursday #sketch #sketchbookstuff #sketchingtime #sketchbookpage #coloredpencils #watercolorpencils #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #artoninstagram #artstagram #myriamtillson #surrealart #birds #birdart #birddrawing #redandblue #surrealism #illo #weirdart #myart #instaart https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rMRPPh4IJ/?igshid=1d2y7a7kx3ovf

Hey peeps! I'm back!📣✨🎆 Sorry for my prolonged sort-of absence, I didn't initially intend on not posting for so long, but I probably needed it. 2019 was exhausting.😅 I'm back in the UK after a little while with my family in France, and I'll be focusing a lot of my time on creating more work this year hopefully, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled 😊 I want to work a lot in my sketchbook and explore my style and process in depth, to hopefully evolve further. I hope you'll stick with me this year and that you'll enjoy the content! And don't forget to take good care of yourselves too ❤ . Here's a lil sketch done with @rembrandtartistpaint #watercolourpencils, @prismacolor #colerase pencils, in my @daler_rowney graduate sketchbook. Felt good to put pencil to paper again on a big page! . . . . . #pencilandpaper #sketchbookstuff #sketchoftheday #mondayart #mondaymotivation #myriamtillson #myart #sketchbook #imback #workinprogress #surrealart #plantart #coloredpencildrawing #drawingpeople #surrrealism #weirdart #instaart #artstagram #artistoninstagram #artsupplies #backtowork https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jX48LBQ5r/?igshid=6iaihx065dac

Damn, half a million likes this year, thanks peeps! You seem to have enjoyed my darker pieces, haha. I can't wait to get back to sketching, hopefully soon. I'm back home in France at the moment, and although I still have work to do while I'm here, I'm hoping to be able to relax somewhat too. :) Do you guys get some time off for the end of the year? Will you be celebrating anything ? How will the end of your year go? I hope you are all well! Take care and see you soon 😊 . PS: I have a new video up on my channel where I paint the colourful pastel landscapes you may have seen me post recently 😊 Link in my insta bio or stories! . . . . . #topnine2019 #top9 #inkart #artstagram #sketchartist #sketching #sketchbook #darkart #inkdrawings #pencilart #contemporarysurrealism #surrealart #illo #darkillustration #instaartist #myriamtillson #yearinreview #2019art #artoninstagram #artreview #myart #favourites https://www.instagram.com/p/B6V8CiVhmgw/?igshid=1tdgsrs7n96fv

This is a little how I feel today...😅 . Hey peeps, sorry for the lack of new art lately, been juggling a lot of things behind the scenes! I'm tinkering with my sketchbook but things feel out of whack, unsurprisingly after a while not sketching, but I'll be back doing art in a couple of days :) In the meantime, thanks so much for sticking around and being very sweet :) I hope you are all well and taking care!❤ . . . . . . #inkdrawing #inkart #inpieces #surrealart #weirdart #traditionalillustration #illo #artistic #myriamtillson #surrealism #darkark #inkartwork #hands #drawinghands #pieceofcake #blackink #inked #characterdrawing #womenwhodraw #instaart #mondayart https://www.instagram.com/p/B5lQX5IBtqj/?igshid=8eriyd8kuvft

Oh hello. Just thought I'd share a painting for a change. A bit of colour on this dreary Monday. 😊 This is "Fragment".☕️ The scanning process didn't fulle capture the subtleties of the skin and background, which is a pity, but I did my best to tweak it to match real life. This one was the September print for my patrons, and I worked on it while inktober was going on, which was rather intense 😂 Anywho. I'll have a full video of it on YouTube this weekend! Hopefully. 😅 Hope you're all doing well lovely people ❤ . . . . . . #gouache #watercolor #watercolorpainting #gouacheart #illo #🎨 #painting #surrealart #contemporaryart #watercolorillustration #aquarelle #brightcolours #brokenporcelain #handpaintedporcelain #broken #portraitpainting #myriamtillson #beautifulbizarre #wowxwow #artofpainting #artofdrawingg #instaart (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vI-6Bh9Nm/?igshid=437uk7a9yivc

Day 25, "Overload". Remember my Inktober 2017 drawing? This one is sort of another take on it :) Not intentionally, but it did remind me of it a lot!
