På fjellet / In the MountainsHow could I not join this challenge, I have 42 moomin mugs(!) and it was so hard to choose just one xD I have at least 6 favourites so I eliminated the ones with more detailed designs and went with this one; I just love the colours and illustrations – and the fact it’s the "Norway mug" 
it’s also one of the ones I use the most i think
I also have a bunch of other mugs/cups but my moomin ones are the ones I use and love the most; btw I have an insta acc for my collection for anyone interested: @/salome.thelittle
Fun fact, this mug was designed for the Norwegian collector’s market (if you don’t know, moomin mug collecting is a huge thing, especially in Northern Europe?)
Fun fact 2, it was released in collaboration with Redd Barna (Save the Children organisation)
I had a lot of fun with this!^^ Probably helped that it was heavily referenced, but I really hope I’m able to continue making art without any more art blocks for a while
Been a while sine I used my markers too It’s also the first alcohol marker drawing in this sketchbook, in my previous one I used them a lot more but I don’t like "wasting" pages by using materials that bleed through, if I can use both sides of a page I’ll have more pages and also it looks prettier
so usually I use mixed media paper or marker paper instead but u know, I like to have my art all in sketchbooks sometimes instead of a bunch of loose pages/papers for my marker art (I have yet to find a sketchbook with bleedproof paper)
