Adorable Creatures Illustrated By Hanna Harris Of Geeks Are Cool

Hanna Harris is a freelance illustrator and a character designer based in Wales, UK. What makes her work distinct is her signature colorful and playful style. Her characters have adorable shapes especially their big wide eyes that draw the viewer's attention to the piece. Hanna's work is narrative in nature featuring them interacting among themselves or with the nature around them.

My favorite thing about her work is the rich, deep color palette that just brings her characters to life. She is happy to take commission work, if there an idea in your mind that you would like her to create for you then you can contact her through Instagram - GeeksAreCool.

 

Intricately Embroidered Animal Portraits by Andréia Kiss

Let me begin this brand new year with this stunning work by Andréia Kiss. Andréia Kiss is an artist based in Portugal. She creates these amazing embroidered animal portraits that will stop anyone in their tracks. She often uses reference images before starting a piece and then proceeds to draw on fabric with pencil.

She draws freehand and then does embroidery to create masterpieces which have moment and personality. Her work caught my attention for its precision and intricacy. The artist uses color palette to embroider her subjects which are in contrast with the background. The owl is "painted" in white and black pops against the beautiful blue backdrop.

For any of the embroidered artwork or enquiry related to her work, she can be contacted through her Instagram profile - atelie_ak.
