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!

For some reason this reminds me of Cath from Fangirl. Am I the only one?

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.

I like to do this in the winter too, makes you feel so energised! This is a thing in Finland that people like to do during the winter and it's not as extreme as it looks/sounds!

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

Very stylized, I really like it! I'm assuming that's on a public train?
Clementine Petrova (Submission author) 6 years ago
Thanks! And yes, exactly. We've got those old hideous trains back in Bulgaria, sooo that's one of those

I'm trying to figure out if she put on the shirt the "wrong" way or if it's a decorative pocket put on the back of the shirt to look stylish
Clementine Petrova (Submission author) 6 years ago
It’s a pocket on the back, some rain jackets have it 😁😁

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.
