Sophie is a funny little blob who lives under a leaf, under a tree, under a cloud, under the stars where she paints and scribbles and sculpts! www.sophiemcpike.com/links

Small landscape 🌞

I’m on the other side of Australia atm (Perth), visiting family. I’ve managed to find time for two quick plein air painting times so far! I’ll try to do more tomorrow🤞🏻 it has been so nice to take a little bit of time to myself to paint while away from home 🧡

I’ve been really enjoying combining illustration with sculpture lately, and I just had to make a sculptural illustration of my favourite black houndie, Pia ✨🧡 “Bloom Bound” polymer clay, acrylic gouache on clay board #greyhound #art #sculpturalillustration #sculpture #painting #greyhoundart

Gathering Flowers 💐 my pa-tree-on goodies are so freaking cuuuuute! Make sure you’re in the Orange Bird tier ANY time during the month of February to get these goodies in your letter box 🧡🧡🧡 Have a look over here: www.patreon.com/posts/121160...

youtu.be/WHU8_pirmng?... I abandoned my Inktober challenge back in December after 14 days… so I finally opened up the rest of the mystery inks and made a painting with them! Lots of sweets chats and swatching and painting 🧡

My new artwork ✨ I felt pretty guilty and was hard on myself for not finishing my inkvent calendar challenge in Dec, but I needed to recoup from burnout🫠 So, this is a month and a half late but also exactly on time! Shout Out to the beautiful watercolour block by Etchrlab! A dream paired with ink!

Inky WIP 🧡 I have no idea what’s happening here - living life in a stream of consciousness way 🙃 I’ll keep you updated👍🏻 Diamine ink (from the 2024 inkvent calendar) or lovely 350gsm watercolour block by Etchr

New Video just landed softly on a leaf :) youtu.be/HOJCud0ASwo ✿ H e l l o! ✿ Come along as I fumble my way through making a sculptural illustration using.a found object, polymer clay and gouache!

Yesterday was Hourly Comic Day!

“Gathering Flowers” Acrylic gouache, polymer, wood. I’m so excited to show you my new sculptural illustration artwork! I had just the loveliest time making this piece. I’ve turned it into a print and made stickers for the February patreon Orange Bird rewards! 🧡 www.patreon.com/posts/121160...

This happy little palette always makes me a happy little Sophie! This was one of the first ceramic pieces I made as an adult back in 2018 after having a happy sun palette idea in my head for a few years! I use this cutie all the time 🌞I’ve made and sold HEAPS since, but this is my all time favourite

Way back in Feb 2023 I started a 100 Day Challenge. That was 707 days ago! Haha! I made it 74 days. Today I decided to scan and arrange all the work and test print onto an A3 piece of paper! Pretty cuteeeee! I love this series and would love to make some cute product with them 🧡 what do you think?

I just … I don't understand why people aren't just talking about dogs all the time? #dogsarethebestpeople

The year of the snake is upon us, fear not, be ready 🙏🏻🐍🤲🏻✨ #cny #cny2025 #yearofthesnake #chinesenewyear #lunarnewyear

I’ve been working on a sculptural illustration and my brain and hands are feeling very happy about it 🌿🐞

I’ve been taking agessss (for me) to get through my current sketchbook. So I flipped through to motivate me to keep going with it, and this spread made me happy and inspired! It was all stream of conscious, but it fell together in such a nice way! 🌞✨ I love when that happens!

Really excited to be turning this into a print! Been touching it up to make it extra warm and sunny. XD If you're interested in seeing my other prints/stickers, you can find it all on ko-fi.com/frenchteapot! This one will be going there too when it's ready. #artshare #illustration #cat

I did some mini plein air watercolour paintings today in this tiiiiiny sketchbook.

Sketchbook page I did while hosting The Scribble Brigade last week. I sketched with paint a BG from Palia, then did a gridded/pixel version of it. Nice and wonky and just a cute time!

Four days of the Inkvent calendar so far 💖 I love ink, it’s in the top three favourite art supplies for me. So an advent calendar where I get to open a small ink everyday is SO much fun! These are painted or drawn in an onion skin journal 🌞✨☺️

Hi so, I never really used Twitter so we'll see how successful I am with this. 🫠 Anyway I don't know what else to post so here's an illustration of the family dog. Also I have a Youtube if you like art videos!: www.youtube.com/@french-teapot

Inkvent calendar day 1 in my new @TheOnionSkinJournal 💙🧡 Baltic Breeze #inkventcalendar #inkvent #adventcalendar #ink #painting

I spent a lot of time in my sketchbook today! I’ve spent the past two weeks packing orders and stressing about packing orders. Yesterday I finished packing them, and today I DREW FOR FUN! Here, I documented a gorgeous walk I took with my two dogs, Bebe and Pia 💖 Tombow marker on LifeNoble sketchbook

i looove writing alt text now actually.. i used to stress abt it a lot bc it was hard to figure out what was appropriate to describe & what not to describe. but guess WHAT?? you're an artist sharing your art & you're allowed to curate your own experience. u can express how a piece feels to *you*
