I hope you've all had a great start to the week! This illustration is part of my blogger/animal series, and it's based on the adorable Tara from The Style Rawr team! I asked Tara what her favourite animal was and she mentioned a Seahorse and a Hummingbird, both of which I love. I decided to go for a little Seahorse in the end, so I hope you like my choice. I'm really happy with how this turned out; I really loved creating an under-water background, from the coral reef to the tropical fish. I have lots of other portraits planned out and I've already thought of a cool idea for a Lily Melrose/Aerys illustration!
