About the Artist

Hi, my name is Sloan! (cis - she/her)
I'm a Canadian illustrator and merch creator that specializes in digital watercolour.
I use Clip Studio Paint EX and an Intuos tablet. For traditional art: pencil, pen & Copic markers.


I'm a nerd, lover of nature and a cottagecore enthusiast. What inspires me most is the little, magical moments found in everyday life.

Process

To begin: contact me with detailed information and image references about your commission. I'll ask for details about what poses, atmosphere, expressions, etc that you'd like in the illustration. Please be specific so I can accurately draw what you're looking for!Commissions are paid up front.
Refunds are only available before you approve the sketch.
I will update you with screenshots for you to approve or request adjustments. Adjustments past the line art stage should be minor (i.e., once I start colouring, redrawing the nose is available for an extra fee.)Once the illustration agreed upon as complete, I'll send you an unwatermarked, high res, non-layered file.
I normally post commissions to social media, however if you don't want it posted publicly for whatever reason, please let me know in advance.
