Another of my daily #sketchbook dice drawings! #artcommunity #artistsofbluesky
Help! For an 11-12 year old, which of these feels like more of a “cool girl” hairstyle? #writingcommunity #artcommunity #kidlit
Hello #portfolioday ! I create fantasy illustrations from MG-NA with a sense of whimsy :) Mariaoglesbyart.com
Another one of my daily #sketchbook drawings! I’m almost done with this sketchbook, and think I might switch to a digital art challenge after that
One of a series I’ve been doing to keep #drawing each day. It’s been a fun way to stay creative on writing or working only days!
I’ll be teaching a #procreate #textiledesign workshop this Wednesday at studio 101! If you’re near Leesburg and want to join, you can sign up here: www.studio101retreat.com
If anyone is in the #leesburg #nova area, I’ll be teaching a #textiledesign workshop in Procreate on the 8th at www.studio101retreat.com !
So excited that @publishingpals.bsky.social has hit 750 downloads! I can’t believe so many people have listened to us chat, and it’s still been less than a year since we started recording! Thank you so much to everyone in the #writingcommunity who’s listened! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
Hello #kidlitartpostcard!! I’m Maria, a #writer and #illustrator working on my portfolio of MG and YA covers, fantasy maps, and #graphicnovel illustrations. I work both digitally and in watercolor, and am currently seeking representation. Mariaoglesbyart.com
A couple recent #dnd character designs I completed. It’s funny the difference between clients - one had like 8 sketch revisions and one didn’t even want to see the sketch and just responded with a thumbs up emoji 😆 Can you tell which is which?
Been having a lot of fun doing #watercolor #sketchbook sketches this month, it’s been a nice habit to get into, at least temporarily, to keep myself creative each day
Happy #kidlitartpostcard ! I’m a writer/illustrator specializing in graphic novel work, fantasy maps, and cover art. I’m currently seeking representation, and love all subjects relating to fantasy, animals, and nature :) . . . . . . #kidlitartpostcardday #mariaoglesbyart #kidlitartist #fantasymap
Starting a mini watercolor series of videos to challenge myself with color palettes this month! Feel free to paint along with me if you want some color palette prompts! #colorpalette #watercolor #artchallenge
Been working on some textile designs for spoonflower’s design challenges. It’s one of those things where I feel productive and drawing while not working on brain-heavy stuff, so it’s still relaxing. What’s your version of that?
It’s finally warm enough to have the balcony door open while I work! Which means the fur babies look beautiful in all the natural light ☺️
Hello #portfolioday! I’m an illustrator specializing in #MGart and #YAart in the #kidlit community as well as #fantasymaps. @mariaoglesbyart everywhere mariaoglesbyart.com Currently seeking representation
New PC art for a dnd player of mine! #dndart #dndcommunity #dnd
Getting progressively better at editing as we wrap up a series of interviews for the next few months of @publishingpals.bsky.social !
From start to finish, process of a #fantasymap #artcommission for a #dnd world!
It’s always so fun getting paid to do a fantasy map! I tried a new technique with the continent edges this time, and am loving how it’s turning out!
A few pieces I’ve been working on lately. Some #artcommissions, both finished and unfinished, and a page of a short comic I’m working on for my #artportfolio.
Hello #kidlitartpostcard ! I’m an illustrator seeking work in YA and MG cover art/ graphic novels as well as fantasy maps. This official fan art was done for the release of Kristin Dwyer’s novel In Time With You! Mariaoglesbyart.com . . . . . . #mariaoglesbyart #kidlitartpostcardday #yaart
Hello #kidlitartpostcard ! I’m a writer/illustrator seeking representation. I would love to work on graphic novels, covers, and interior fantasy maps. I also co-host the podcast @publishingpals.bsky.social ! If a project has animals, nature themes, or is D&D inspired, then I want to work on it!
