The book about Santa was written by Thomas Carnes , and the illustrations were created by me and @e_malina_art The reindeer are smiling, and Santa is asking, “Do you want to read the story about me?” #potapenko_iryna_art #animation

Continuing the series "Giant Cats."
Why did I decide to paint this series of #watercolors?
Why giant cats and not normal-sized ones? Perhaps I miss someone big and cozy. And who can be big and cozy? A big fluffy #cat! #lisbonart

Obidush. They say Christmas here is amazing. It's a very beautiful little town. I like painting it.

#Morning and evening in a small #town are the same. People (#cats) sit in cafes and #drink #coffee in the morning and wine in the #evening. That’s the only difference. They chat and reflect. And the sun rises and sets.
I continue the series about cats in #Portugal.

[Iryna Potapenko @Iryna_Potapenko]

The work is called "#Sunny #Day". Created on an #iPad using #Procreate. #Digital #watercolor. I have ordered prints of #posters and #postcards in Kyiv.

#Portugal is very sunny. This #cat operates like a solar panel and charges the tram. A flawless type of electricity. #potapenko_iryna_illustrator

Lisbon. Summer.

This #cat is like a solar panel. It's charged by the sun. I want to do a series with huge cats in Lisbon. By the way, this cat is from Odessa. #KidsBookIllustration

I worked for many years at an animation studio in the Odessa Film Studio. This style is closer and more understandable to me than traditional #watercolor #painting. I decided to create a series featuring cats and trams. Do you like it?

The next book in this series is called Chicken Christmas. I signed two contracts. And I’m already thinking about the third book and the fourth. This Anna is my little personal Harry Potter.

These are Fragments of illustrations for a new book called Anna the Chicken Queen. #potapenko_iryna_illustrator #kidlit #kidlitart #childrenbook #illuillustrations

[Iryna Potapenko @Iryna_Potapenko]

I made up a story about a girl, Anna. Anna is friends with the chickens and calls herself the queen of the chickens. She has made herself a crown in the shape of a chicken comb and takes care of her kingdom.

Help me choose a character. Which Anna do you like best? #illustraion

The book was published by Ranok Publishing House. There will be a presentation in Lisbon soon #illustrations #Procreate #childrenbook

«The Basement Chronicles».
I finally received the books from the publisher. I will arrange a presentation in Lisbon. I have only seven copies. I will give a couple of books to the local library. #childrenbook @ranokcomua #potapenko_iryna_illustrator
