Now for a bit about my practice:
This involves a lot of drawing, using both traditional and digital means. I have experience in Procreate, After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop, but my all-time favourite tools are good old fineliners, watercolours, ink and felt tip pens (and anything else I can find). For me, drawing on paper allows me to fully relax into my practice, and then I can refine it using tech.
I like to work playfully, and enjoy messing around with texture, colour, and saturation. I take a lot of inspiration from the natural world and humanity's relationship with it. Themes of community and friendship also pop up quite often.
I upload to my Instagram a lot, so you can keep up with

Hello! I'm Mabel. I'm an illustrator, animator, and aspiring tattoo artist, based in Bristol.
Here's a little bit about what I love:
✦ Drawing ! I draw every day, and revel in coming up with new characters, creatures and compositions ✦
✦ Animation ! I studied animation for quite a few years, and really enjoy putting a film together. Experimental animation is my favourite ✦
✦ Swimming ! Get me to the ocean !! ✦
✦ Animals ! Especially cats, ferrets and pangolins ✦
✦ Reading ! Fiction and non-fiction. Lately I've been enjoying film criticism and Sci-Fi spoofs ✦
✦ Writing ! I have started a Substack that sorely needs more articles - I aim on writing more this year ✦
