Hi #portfolioday 👋
My name is Denis and I’m a #kidlit illustrator who loves bold lines, mark-making, wonky shapes and limited palettes. I’m always on the lookout for more picture books and board books to illustrate.

I know, I know, spiders are technically not insects, but arachnids. Still, here's a fancy bug number 5 🪦

It's definitely not - i'm trying something similar when it comes to using blending modes and aid for straight lines/shapes in Procreate. Want to achieve a bit more painterly and expressive feel, but uncertainty is constantly hanging over my head.

Friday’s fancy bug is this little connoisseur. I’m travelling back from a two-week visit to Lapland and, let me tell you, the mosquitoes there are something else! 🦟

So, I decided to expand that into a series with a couple of more illustrations. Here’s fancy bug number 2: the tiny horse fly, world famous dressage champion.

Well, look at me properly embarrassing myself publicly. Had missed the info that #kidlitartposcard has been postponed for a week and will be on 11 July. 🫠

Yo, don't forget - tomorrow is July's #kidlitartpostcard. 💌
Quite excited for this one, for the first time I re-made an illustration from a month ago, which had turned out rubbish. Second time around I managed to improve on it and that feels pretty nice.

Gotta say, I'm quite glad Kyle Webster has joined Procreate. Really liked using his brushes back in the days when I was illustrating in PS.

Well, I hacked together a Starter Pack for #KidLitArt folks! I guess you can also use it if you're already here too.
I tried to pick accounts of interest (& preferably active) here on Bsky to recommend, although the list is only half full right now -

After freelancing for several years, I'm leaning more towards that - taking the month off either for rest or for personal work. July just seems to be the quietest month for client work anyway, might as well do something relaxing and not spend it worrying over the silence of my email inbox.

A little something I drew focusing on the two things I've been thinking about - shapes and confidence. And it's my favorite thing I've drawn so far this year! 🐚 #kidlitart

Can't stop thinking about the conversation between @studiohoffmann.bsky.social and Jarvis about how they draw trains and cars and TVs. It makes practical sense for our tech to look the way it does, but it's also so so boring. Everything is either a black rectangle or a white cylinder. ⬛️ ⚪️
