A New Snowdrop Illustration

Click, tap or right-click here
to download this "Snowdrops" image.

Hello there, and I hope you're doing amazingly well this week, with plenty of art and whimsy, come what may.

My intention with these ink and watercolour snowdrops (started on paper, and finished digitally-a truly hybrid project) is to boost the world's whimsy quotient just a bit more.

So, if you feel just a splash more whimsical after reading this post, it's done its main job.

So, if you'd like to download and use this image (maybe for upcoming posts with a "February," theme?) please do. If you do, please keep the BoundingSquirrel signature in view. If you'd like to link back, that would be lovely, but there's no obligation. See my "angel policy" for details if you need them.

With that said, I'll leave you to your day. Thanks so much for being here, and for reading down this far.

More soon.

P.S. Update on Feb 4th 2025: This design is also now available as part of a printable sympathy card in my Craftsuprint shop.

 Hello there, and hope that you are thriving. It's almost the end of the month, so time to unveil the new February illustration...

Tap, click or right-click to download and save this 
"February Snowdrops," illustration.

Update on Jan 31st: After some howls of protest at my gentle attempt to sell this, I've decided that this, like previous monthly illustrations, should also be a freebie. (And yes, where a purchase has been made already, I've refunded it, though with many thanks).

Instead,  this illustration now makes beautiful greeting card, sticker, postcard,  and journal, over at Redbubble.

Have a lovely weekend, and more soon.

If the spring still feels a bit too far away for your liking, why not make a card with a Spring theme?

Have fun with these, and let yourself have a breath of spring from them, wherever you are, and whenever you're reading this...

Daily Illustration #34: Snowdrops (Digital Pen-and-Wash Sketch)

It's not quite spring here yet. But there were snowdrops in the woods this week, to provide cheery hope, and inspiration for today's post. Enjoy!

The Mystery of the Morphing Snowdrops...

It's a mystery. Or rather, partly a mystery.

There I was, craving signs of spring. And in the absence of same, I put pen to tablet and created these snowdrops on the left.

So far, so well-behaved.





But I follow my instincts. So I went with it when the snowdrops morphed into this...

And somehow, I still went with it as it inspired me through re-building and re-launching the Selfworks.Net site...

It doesn't mean I'm going back to the way I was before BoundingSquirrel. Or that this blog will stop. (I need a place to share pictures!).

But it's interesting (and mysterious) just how far one teeny-tiny inspiration can take you.

Digital painting has taught me to be in the moment, and to "go with it". And that is a habit I'll not be morphing out of in a hurry.
