I'm Rebecca, and I draw joyful characters by hand in Procreate. I film every piece so you can watch it come together, from a blank canvas to the finished art.

A few friends who started as one drawing and decided to stick around.
The Night Watch Goose
Nigel is my first original character who became more than just one picture. He waddled in during an October art challenge in 2021 and has been around the world with me ever since.
He's an elegant goose with a long neck, a smart blue coat, a very serious job keeping watch at night, and a niece named Nancy.
The Gardening Guinea Pig
Gertie is a guinea pig who simply loves gardening. You'll find her in my logo, fishing rod in paw, next to her beloved terracotta pots.
Those little pots grew into something bigger: a whole collection of surface patterns, which I'm finishing now.
My first surface pattern collection, inspired by Gertie's terracotta pots and the little garden she tends. I'm finalizing it now. Sign up below to be the first to see the full set.
Every piece starts as a few rough lines. Here's how a few of mine came together, one stage at a time.
Join my list and I'll let you know when new pieces, patterns, and process videos are ready. Just the good stuff, never spam.

I'm a joyful artist and picture book author-illustrator. I draw everything by hand in Procreate, and I record my process so you can watch each piece come together.
I know how to use AI. I use AI a lot. But for my art, I am making a real choice not to.
I've learned so much from other artists' process videos. Sharing mine is my way of giving back, and of showing that my art is human-made from start to finish.
