Rikke is a graphic designer from Denmark, she does work both digitally and traditionally and posts a lot of cute little animals or monsters. Her art is energetic, full of bright colors and joyful. Sometimes there's room for black and white too which is totally cool cause she's very good at playing with shadows or drawing in a "comics" style. Most of the times the subject is the only protagonist of the scene and the background is a carefully chosen contrasting color. I often fantasize and this style helps me imagine the character as a sticker

Jackie is a character designer based in Vancouver, Canada. She works and worked in the animation industry for some of the most famous and prestigious names like Netflix, Dreamworks, Warner Bros and more. I usually try to avoid placing here "big names" cause I don't think those are necessarily the only steps one can make to show the world its own abilities and how great she/he is. But I mean, you're gonna see some pretty amazing stuff here and on her profile so the names are actually sounding to me just like a plus, the cherry on the cake for an artist that didn't need them to shine

Joana is an illustrator based in Brasil, she mainly paints digitally and to me she's the kind of artist that's always trying to do something important, special and meaningful with her art. It's not a written rule and obviously it's just my opinion but I believe there's not that many artworks on her profile that are there "just because", they all seem to try to tell me something and inspire me to think about things. I particularly like all the pieces that showcase a human face with a twist on the theme, there are many examples and all of those come with a different nature

Kacey is an artist and illustrator who likes to both paint digitally and draw traditionally, in my opinion with great success no matter the medium. From her profile I like a lot the fact that she posts quite a bit of studies, exercises, collections and so on. It really gives me the idea that art has way more than a single form, particularly because I can see beauty in all the fairies she tried once, or all the notes she left on the canvas... I see art in the 10 different poses she's trying to train on, using the same subject, and while it's a simple concept and it should perhaps be obvious it's not what we're used to see on the platform these days. We seek perfection which can only be achieved through practice, and her sharing such process is amazing

Eleonore is an artist from France, she paints digitally and does a lot of cute, funny, lovely little characters. She does keep her subject simple and there are usually a few basic rules to recognize one of her creations if you scroll through them on IG. I feel like the lookouts have to be: watch out for little cuties with big heads, big eyes and big ears. If you see a ton of joyful colors you're pretty much sure you found it.. Add in a smile and there's no doubt, it's Eleonore's painting! Something I like to do is taking a look at all her posts and see how many characters I can recognize since some of them are representations or were made getting inspiration from movies. After you've seen a couple they all seem to belong into a single big collection

Zelyphia is a self taught artist based in France, she paints digitally and does a lot of female characters. Sometimes you'll see her experiment with other subjects or incorporate them in the art which is always a pleasure to see. A passion of her is the one for the color purple: it's hard to find an artwork missing the tone, it seems she can always find the perfect spot to at least throw that in, even if it's a small detail. Between all her creations I love how she can diversify the art so much while being pretty focused on female character's portraits
