Mona is a freelance illustrator from Oslo, Norway. She does a lot of digital "almost realistic" portraits with an influence coming from the east. I had to quote the realistic trait cause I feel like the style is definitely so but there are plenty of references to anime, legends and all sorts of imaginary worlds that saying they all look real is a bit of a stretch. I have to say tho that this is really a point of strength on her art cause I love to get to see characters and stories coming from a "toonish" world made into human figures. It gives my mind the power to think "what would it be like if it was real" and I'm shocked, some pieces are really killing it in this regard

Ola is an illustrator and graphic designer from Poland, her paintings are beautifully stunning in their simplicity, she plays a lot with overlapping of basic shapes to obtain some of the wonderful pieces you can see on her IG feed. Another activity I have to talk about is her production of handmade ceramics. She makes all sorts of fantastic pots, cups, plates and stuff.. They sometimes resemble a human, some other times it's the human figure being directly painted on top by her

Lucile is a freelance illustrator from France, she does lots of character designs and definitely keeps them original through style, poses, techniques and mostly palettes. I'm in love with her choices of using dim pastel tones, it's refreshing considering that software lets you bright up everything so easily without risks and I appreciate she doesn't do that. The adoption of a scratched and scrawled style she had recently is beautiful, I think she's finding her world and the perfect conditions to let her art come through.

Archina is an illustrator from Naples, Italy! I love her works so much, I find them so beautiful I can't even find the words.. She has a unique style in creating the characters, after a few looks you'll quickly recognize her art if it pops up on your IG. Are we going to talk about the fact that some of the illustrations make it to her etsy shop to become stickers or prints? They're fantastic you should check them out (link down below).

Ffion is an illustrator and designer based in Germany, she paints the cutest animals and has a few distinctive features I like a lot and I hope you'll find amazing too. Most of the times there is a prevalent color in the artwork, sometimes taking the background sometimes also getting in the subject too, which is always in the center with lots of air around. The effect is a clear protagonist which I love and the contrast is always on point even when the palette is restricted

Emily is an illustrator and designer from Canada, she does a lot of character designs on her profile showcasing beautiful girls with big lips and a ton of charm. But there's something quite unique I wanted to talk about: she is one of the creators behind The Letter Bee (link down below), a project to push people into writing more. Every three months new designs come out to be made into cards that are blank inside, which is where you should write your message, and beautiful outside cause the art is amazing! It's cool to have a few spare at home for when you want to write a message

Naveen is a visual development artist from India now based in the US, he studied there and has now years of experience in the field. He's definitely capable of illustrating with many styles and palettes but I have to say there's one kind of art I like the most: when he uses a warm palette with occasional bright colors. The "tipical" combination of colors from Indian artists that I love so much, it has to be in their culture and I think Naveen has great sense for pairing the tones and creating beautiful scenes.

Taraneh is a Persian art director based in the Netherlands, she paints lots of characters and flawlessly changes style every now and then. The main subjects are of course human figures, mostly female characters, but there's room for everything. She doesn't shy away from difficult or different poses, making every detail she can to characterize the faces and the expressions. Very often I find process videos or mini clips sometimes hidden in the second pic so you have to look at an artwork and swiping you might find a great surprise!

Arina is an illustrator and concept artist based in Russia, she does a lot of digital paintings using color and light very well to obtain clear and sharp artworks. She paints many landscapes, likes water and plays around with perspective sometimes, including buildings or trees to either empower a view or break symmtries. Something I learnt looking at her feed is that keeping the artwork clean and not putting too many subjects is a good way to make every illustration look open and not exhausting

Angela "BlueBean" is an illustrator and concept artist from Malaysia, she focuses on nature, cute little puppies (or whatever has paws and looks adorable!) and more in general she's into book illustrations. I Absolutely love the palettes she uses always feeling super chill and warming, and also the amazing ability she has to turn all animals into fluffy adorable fur balls that I'd love to squeeze. Her works are always sending me good vibes, everything looks calm, life is good, everyone is happy, animals everywhere
