Aries, Gemini and Scorpio

I am currently designing my own interpretations of the Sun Signs. So far, I have created Aries, Gemini and Scorpio. Each sign also has their associated flower incorporated into the drawing; for Aries it is the thistle, Gemini is lavender, and Scorpio is the geranium. I chose limited palettes, using colours that represent each sign — bold reds and oranges for the determined Aries, whimsical purples, greens, blues and yellows for the playful Gemini, and dark, rich colours to reflect the intensity of Scorpio (my Sun Sign). The insects somehow found their way into the drawings too, and I decided to let them to stay (I think they’re there for the flowers). Just nine more to go, this is going to be fun!

Jabiru

This is an abstract vector I created last week. I’m having fun with limited palettes, textured backgrounds and abstract shapes. I’m moving further away from the confines of perfect lines and structures, and it’s honestly very freeing! I think this Jabiru has a lot of character, with her elongated, wobbly legs and cheeky smile. 🙂

Australian Bird Art

I designed a series of Australian birds, and these Top End birds were my first choice. They are a little different to my usual style, but I’m really digging the way they turned out. I enjoyed playing around with textures and background noise to add depth to the drawings and make them more interesting. I also used more sharp angles instead of my usual curves and I love the results!

I think my favourite is the Black-necked Stork (more commonly known as the Jabiru), but the Bush Stone-curlew gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, with its funny long legs. Click on the images to enlarge them. If you want to download any of these as a print, please head over to my Etsy store.
