Sketchbook | Linzie Hunter, Illustration and Hand Lettering

You can view more of my daily sketchbooks over on Instagram.

Friends! My Instagram experience has gotten so much better and so much calmer, now that I am seeing more of my friends posts again.

It’s made me realise how many people I’ve lost contact with. I’ve missed seeing everyone’s updates and inspiring work. ☹️

I know, from recent discussions, that many of us have felt a bit bummed out by the changes but I’m doing my best to stay positive and adapt to the recent IG changes in a way that works for me. Being able to personalise my feed really has helped. ❤️

I’ve also created a couple of sticker that you can use in your stories and reels to remind people how to see the people they follow too. Search: linzie + following to find them.

And if you aren’t already, it’s worth following @mosseri to keep up to date with all the latest changes at instagram.

Boy, there are so many things to be sad and/or worried about right now. I really hope you are okay.

I definitely don’t have all the answers but I do have this.

Send it to a friend who needs a little cute pick-me-up. ❤️❤️❤️

It’s Sunday and the perfect day to share some sketchbook pages. My sketchbooks are where I experiment with cute new characters and are a safe place to play. I never worry about how things will turn out, as it just doesn’t matter. Sketchbooks don’t need to be perfect or styled for Instagram! 😀

I mostly use @tombow_uk brush pens and @fabercastellglobal polychromos pencils but I’m always happy to try new pens and pencils!

Don’t forget that you can find all my @giphy sticker gifs (including the ones in this reel) by searching linzie + keyword.

Big Cat Little Cat.

I think this would make a cute screen print!

This is Charles.
He’s quite worried about his electricity bill.

Thanks so much to everyone who has joined in the conversation on my previous post about the recent changes at IG.

It’s been interesting to see how you are (or are not) adapting and what plans you have for the future.

I don’t have the answers but it helps to know that I’m not the only creative exhausted by creating and viewing short, fast content. I miss seeing my friends photos and artwork. ❤️

Please mr @mosseri, photos are nice.

Folks, what is the answer? Will you give up on IG? I’m not excited about having to make reels and it now feels impossible to keep up to date with everyones photo posts. Sigh.

Too hot to be in the studio, so mostly just doodling at home. And napping.

Which is cuter? Pink or Blue? I know my answer but what is yours?

I’ve worked with the good folks at @lagomdesign to create 6 more designs for my greeting card line. You can purchase these cards in lovely gift shops internationally. You can also purchase directly from the Lagom website. ❤️ Follow the link in my bio.

So I had to mail my postcards so I thought I’d try and make a cute reel.

I’m never going to get the hang of this… 🤦🏻‍♀️
….

Btw: to find the gifs I used in this reel search Linzie + keyword (eyes, arms, spots)

You can be really cute and still have very deep thoughts.

One of my favourite brushes in @procreate is the Turpentine one. I really like how haphazard it is. It’s the ultimate “happy accident” brush.

Here’s a little experiment using that brush and some pencil ones. 👍

Ugh. I guess I’m going to have start making more reels.

This is going to be exhausting. I probably need to get myself a cute cat or something.

Someone asked for a drawing of cat coming back from a party, so here it is.

I hope you like it.
