There’s something fascinating about watching an illustration come to life, stroke by stroke — the way a rough idea becomes a living, breathing world on the page. My latest piece, Roots and Remedies, captures a folk-inspired moment in the forest: a small brownie-like creature tending to a fox in need. It’s a scene that blends the mystical charm of old fairy tales with the earthy grit of folklore — healing, wildness, and the quiet connection between animals and the unseen helpers of the woods.
I’ve put together a full timelapse of the sketch and paint process so you can see exactly how this piece came together — from the first pencil scratches to the final layers of glowing color. If you’ve ever wondered how folk fantasy illustrations take shape, this behind-the-scenes look is a chance to step inside the process.
Roots and Remedies isn’t just about a fox and a forest sprite — it’s about the hidden stories in the wild, the idea that every shadow between the trees might be alive with myth.
