Embark on a journey through the intricate and imaginative world of Meelie's favored artistic medium.

Technically everything on this website is hand drawn (with exception of 2 logos on the commissions page- I manipulated graphics for those!)

Hand drawn Puppy

Presenting a charming hand-drawn puppy that I quickly sketched for a friend's blog. I dedicated time to creating a collection of unique hand-drawn illustrations for a range of articles. Upon delving into the analytics, it became evident that the posts enriched with my artistic touch experienced a substantial surge in traffic compared to those adorned with generic images sourced from Unsplash.

Flower Sketch

I really enjoyed making this. I used a mechanical pencil, a paper towel for smudging and a really awesome eraser that that had a straight edge so I was able to be more precise with my drawing.

Cottage for a Blog Drawing

Illustrating a simple cottage was a departure from my usual detailed drawings. I tried to maintain a consistent art style for a series of 4 pictures showcased in a blog post. While it posed a challenge, I found satisfaction in exploring a more minimalist approach to my artwork. 

Xbox Controller

This is a digital drawing I used the Huion Tablet with a pen. I made this for a blog post for a client. I wanted this realistic but with visible imperfections to show it was a digital painting- I think this adds character =) .

Wine Glass for a Blog Drawing

I designed this digitally in Adobe Photoshop. It was a blog illustration created for a client, with a realistic look that still maintained a handcrafted feel.

Hand Drawing of a Cockatiel

This is a cockatiel. We had a cockatiel growing up. Her name was Perdita. She was a beautiful bird. This wasn't for anything. It was an attempt at drawing a bird and having it resemble a bird. I was actually very pleased with the results. This drawing gave me confidence to try things that were a little more difficult.

Take a look at this beautiful five petal flower sketch created by Meelie. The inspiration for this piece came from the joy of using a new pencil.

Railroad Tracks Drawing

Sketching this particular piece was a profound experience that resonated with me on a deep level... It was not just about putting pencil to paper, but about delving into the essence of the subject and capturing it. Working on a 9x12 sketchbook paper, I experimented with various pencil grades and techniques, each mark a reflection of my passion for art. The 6 hours I devoted to this creation were filled with joy, challenges, and ultimately, a sense of accomplishment.

Hand Drawn Logo for Sweet Treats by Roxi

This hand drawn floral circle was made by Meelie. This is one of two parts of a logo. This part I drew with a mechanical pencil. I then went over all the lines with a fine sharpie. After that I scanned it and uploaded it to my PC. The next part of the logo I'll share later on. I ended up drawing it in gimp with my huion tablet and pen. Then I merged both parts of the drawing. This logo was for a client that we've had for years. They are very nice people and we've enjoyed seeing them grow over the past 5 years.

This is right out of my sketchbook. I really love filling in all the spaces with shapes and shades. I find comfort in creating art like this. I made this on sketchbook paper with a mechanical pencil. I then traced over everything with a fine point sharpie.

Knight in Armor Sketch for a Blog

While feeling stressed, I sketched a beautiful tree. This moment was significant to me because it showed me how art can transform intense emotions into something positive. Remember, art can be a powerful outlet for overwhelming feelings!

Love Doodle

Just a little doodle from my sketchbook. Love and focus helps life bloom and yields joy. I think- I made this so many years ago but it seems like that's where I was going with that.

Love Doodle

Presenting a digital hand-drawn doodle by Meelie! I used my Kamvas Pro 16 Huion Pen and Tablet to bring this artwork to life. Look closely to see the AB in the center. Many of my drawings have hidden happy messages. 

 Creating this was a joyous experience, and I love the symmetry!

Handcuffs for a Blog Sketch.

For this illustration, I utilized Adobe Photoshop and the round brush tool. I decided to stick to a black and white palette to match the style of the other pieces in the collection. The drawing was handcrafted specifically for a client's blog, aiming to capture a realistic yet artistically drawn art.
