Les plus belles sirènes du #Mermay d’Instagram sont à découvrir ici

Si tu as traîné sur les réseaux sociaux pendant ce mois de mai, tu as peut-être vogué à travers un océan de sirènes !

Et c’est tout à fait normal, puisque le mois de mai correspond au #Mermay, un mot valise qui unit mermaid (sirène) et May (mai).

C’est donc l’occasion pour les artistes de tous horizons de célébrer leur art en unissant leur talent autour d’une même thématique. Celle-ci est d’ailleurs très inspirante : la créature fantastique et mythologique de la sirène permet toutes les fantaisies et les interprétations.

Or voilà bien l’une des raisons pour laquelle j’ai de l’affection particulièrement pour Instagram : avec la place qu’il laisse au visuel, c’est un puits sans fond de merveilles à découvrir.

Je te propose donc ma sélection des plus belles sirènes du Mermay de 2018, et je serais curieuse que tu postes les tiennes ou celles que tu as aimées dans les commentaires. Tu veux bien ?

Et si tu aimes faire des découvertes d’illustrations, sache que tu peux retrouver les miennes dans des stories sur mon compte Instagram !

La face cachée de l’icebe… de la sirène pour #Mermay

Here's the full picture for #mermay! How many of you saw that coming? I had a lot of fun with this! I want to find more excuses to draw underwater stuff! . I drew this almost entirely in Procreate. I just adjusted some of the colors in Photoshop. I was gonna share the procreate video, but it's super boring (bc Procreate doesn't zoom in to detailed work) and also it skipped entire chunks of my work. That happens to me a lot with Procreate. Have you experienced that? . . . . . #illo #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #illustrationartists #childrensillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbook #childrenbook #bookillustration #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsart #kidart #kidsillustration #kidsbooks #kidsbook #picturebook #best_of_illustrations #whimsy #whimsical #gouache #gouachepainting #illustrator #illustration #illustrationart #illustrationartist #kidlitartist #mermay2018

Au cœur d’un cabinet de curiosités pour #Mermay

My contribution to #mermay2018 I've been reading 'The Mermaid and Mrs Handcock' by Imogen Hermes Gowar @girlhermes, it's set in 1785 London when 'mermaids' were shown as curiosities, they were made of things like monkey skeletons attached to fish tails, they looked a hell of a lot spookier than the mermaids we read about in fairytales! ? ?? #mermay #Mermaid #curiosity #curiosities #fairyale #fairytales #coral #illustration #illustrationartist #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #best_of_illustration #whimsyillos #whimsicalart
