A super cute pooch from a recent pet portrait, and I've put a before and after pencil work image with it just so you can see my final process and how it all comes together. 🐶 • • • #instaart #illustrator #illustration #illustrationoftheday #iotd #abbyillustrates #abbycookillustration #alwayspainting #petsofinstagram #petportrait #dog #dogsofinstgram #creativebusinessmakers #petitejoys #darlingmovement #nativecreative #craftsposure

DAY 26 - WHY I DO THIS Because I love drawing! It is as simple as that! Despite owning my own business and the huge ups and downs that come with it, (trust me there are times when I want to quit and do a '9-5' and times when I feel so excited that something I've done has been published or a private commission has been received and loved) but I still love to draw and feel so lucky that I can do what I truly love as a job and you guys and all of my clients make that possible so *THANKS* • • • #thatsdarling #thehappynow #visualsoflife #simplepleasures #meetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker #illustrator #illustration #abbyillustrates #abbycookillustration #petportrait

One of my briefs for the 'Birds' book was to paint an entire bird wing of feathers, which is a lot, but lots of fun 🦅 • • • #illustrator #illustration #abbyillustrates #abbycookillustration #illustrationoftheday #mycreativebiz #pursuepretty #flashesofdelight #petitejoys #studioscenes #createsomethinglovely #thenativecreative #instaart #art #craftsposure #wing #birdwing #feather #feathers #dorlingkindersley #birds #scientificillustration
