Net Picks - Artists on Instagram

Sorry for the lack of Net Picks posts! It's been a crazy month so far! Today I wanted to showcase some of the wonderful artists I follow on Instagram.

  1. @heikala - There is a lovely gentleness to heikala's work. Her use of watercolors is so lovely (and impressive).
  2. @thousandskies  aka Elda The- I've followed Elda's work for years (originally on deviant art!). I love her Instagram because she shares a great deal of progress and behind the scenes shots. She shares a lot of sketches, painting videos and crafts.
  3. @danhipp - Dan's Instagram feed is a treasure trove of his renditions of many current pop culture characters. I hate to admit that I discovered him because he art directs my daughter's favorite cartoon (Teen Titans) but better late than never!
  4. @lady_tea aka Trudi Castle - Trudi's work is totally my cup of tea! I love concept art, RPGs and fantasy and her work pretty much sums this all up. Her characters and environments are super engaging and I can't stop looking at her hand drawn sketches.

Although I follow a lot of terrific artists on Instagram, I really like how these 4 showcase hand drawn and hand painted work. I work mainly digitally (although was trained in traditional medium) and I really enjoy seeing people creating with good old pencils, pens and paints.
