I truly couldn’t find a single actor or model I thought worked as Mr. Darcy and I think that says a lot about how highly I view this character 🥲 let me know who I should draw next below!!

This illustration defeated me, something was just not clicking and honestly it’s not ~finished~, it’s messy and has many mistakes, but it ended up in a spot I don’t absolutely hate so I want to give myself credit and post it anyway…

One Dark Window continues to be one of my favorite books I’ve read in the past few years and so I’m always trying to pay homage to it somehow 🫡 #bookstagram #onedarkwindow

The making of my first book journal spread for Sunrise on the Reaping 🙌 why did I make the spread say reading journal instead of book journal?? ask 1 week ago Olivia because I’m angry at her

Also, fantastic book - will never pick it up ever again for my own sanity. REALLY unsure how I’ll survive the movie

I look back at 2025 and I did not create nearly as much art as I would have liked. Honestly, I didn’t create a single piece I’m proud of 🥲 it’s crazy how a year can go by and that happen. that’s gotta change this year…

I can watch a show or listen to a book while I draw, but I want to rebuild the habit of relaxing with art (other hobbies too, but art especially!) rather than doomscrolling, because that was at its WORST in 2025, it’s embarrassing how high my screen time was. I’m trying to remember that any creative time is better than none even if I don’t create a masterpiece, which 99% of the time I won’t and that’s ok!! It’s still worth it 🎨

I only read 11 books in 2025 and I was 3 books shy of my 15 book goal…. overall it was just a terrible reading year. I DNF’d left and right, no book seemed to click.

I need to reflect on why that was and make some major changes, but I did have one favorite and let me know if you can guess what it was 👀⚔️🛡️

What are your reading goals this year and if you read more than 20 books a year, tell me your secrets 😭 #bookstagram #bookishartist #illustration

If I listened to that voice that told me I was weird or thay it was cringey to share my work felt I never would never have gotten the opportunities I have today, so never listen to that voice of self doubt because you’re capable of more than you can imagine!! ♥️♥️ #artistofinstagram

Your time is always better spent creating, so make sure to spend some time doing it this week in whatever format works for you ✨ #creativehobbies #artistsoftiktok

For the introverted, shy, scared artist, you deserve to be seen ☀️ I know I’m not alone in this experience and will continue to share this journey to hopefully encourage others to show up too ✨thanks for following me on this journey of allowing myself to show up slowly but surely, and share my art with you all! ❤️ #artistsofinstagram

I’m Olivia and I’m the president of the Slow Readers Club ™️ the people who are happy to just finish a chapter of a book. I have 2 months to attempt to get to 15 books this year and here’s my plan, so you can add any of these books to your TBR. if you’ve read these books let me know your thoughts, and if you’re also a slow reader let me know your end of year reading plans 👀 #BookTok

My sticker book, One More Page, is out today!! This was such an amazing opportunity that I never imagined was possible and I’m so thankful ♥️ I’m the biggest critic of my work so to see it in this form is surreal and means a lot, so thank you for being here and supporting me, and if you want a book of 500 stickers by me and 2 other amazing illustrators you can find the link in my bio! ♥️♥️ #bookstagram #bookishstickers #adobeexpress

If you ever experience hand pain from overuse from drawing I definitely recommend this grip!

A reminder to get off your phone and do something creative, no matter the outcome ♥️ #cozyhobbies

My current set up about what I use for my art and content ✨

6 characters down and this was the fastest I’ve drawn any character so far 🙌 4 characters left, let me know who I should do next! And if you like my work and want to support me check out my art shop where I sell stickers, prints and other merch!!#bookstagram #twilight #emmettcullen

It’s no secret the Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite book series of all time, and I found this set of drawings I did back in 2021, and because I like angst I’m sharing it again😊 If you like my Lunar Chronicles art I also sell TLC prints, shirts and sweatshirts in my shop!! 🚀🚀

I’ve been really making an effort to reduce my screen time, and it has me picking up old art supplies or trying new things.

It’s really hard for me, especially as an artist, to be bad at something new. There’s often a pressure that since we’re good at one form of art we should be good at all of them, but I think it’s important to disconnect and allow yourself to explore and try with no other goal! So I hope these unpolished, ugly little sketches can encourage you to get off your phone as well and try something new!!

This might be my most controversial opinion on a Cullen but willing to hear your thoughts 09 he was definitely the most requested as of late so let me know what you think and who should be next!! Also tagged inspired clothing pieces if you ever want to dress like how I think these characters dress 👀

✨Life as an artist (when it’s not super messy and chaotic)✨#artistoninstagram #illustration #bookstagram

Dress like Edward Cullen 👀 these are some of the pieces that inspired by Edward redesign, and would give you that subtle Edward Cullen look! Includes a trench coat, sweaters, and loafers - perfect for fall!

#LTKStyleTip

As I’m working on this Twilight redraw series, I thought it could be fun to show the clothes that I’ve referenced to draw these characters! I like looking into their style and pick out pieces that feel right for each character, and it might even inspire your own wardrobe 👀 Here Bella is wearing a Henley lace shirt, boot jeans and converse or doc martens!

11 year old me would either be totally mortified or excited to see how much I’ve shared my art now, it’s unclear 😅 it’s funny how growing this audience and presence has been an unexpected journey in self growth, and learning to accept myself. This is a little bit of an about me post, especially with a bunch of new followers lately, because I’ve never really shared much about myself on here! So thank you for reading and thank you for being here and letting me share my art with you! ♥️

I’m an incredibly picky reader, and I don’t mean in that I think I have sophisticated taste, I mean that if a certain book doesn’t match my mood at that exact time, and if the full moon hasn’t risen on the 3rd Thursday of that month, I will probably DNF 😅 I have to be in a VERY particular mood to accept or like a new book, but I LOVE to share the books that do somehow make it through that hurdle! So here are 3 books/series I’ve read this year or late last year to consider if you’re on my wavelength 📡

*The knight and the moth is NOT YA!! So something to keep in mind for the age, the other 2 are fine*

If you get this vibe, share some recommendations in the comments!!

Drawing twilight characters for the first time since 2009 🫣 I was a kid who grew up reading these books and in honor of the 20th anniversary it feels fitting to try and draw them again for my younger self, so follow along to see the rest of the characters 😂

Drawing everyone’s favorite Cullen 👀This was a journey so you need to stick around till the end to see it through, she went through about 3 different identities till we got to the end result. I like where it ended up, but you tell me!! Also keep letting me know who should draw next, it’s so cool you all like this series and this has been a good challenge for me, so thank you for being here and watching! #bookstagram #twilight #alicecullen #bookishartist #twilightfanart

I switch out my screen protector every 6-8 months or so and so this time I got to try out the new Paperlike 3 Screen Protector and Butterfly Application System, and it was my best application yettt, so just another amazing day for a @paperlike fangirl such as myself 💗 #illustrator #illustration #paperlike #artistoninstagram #bookstagram

Get in losers we’re drawing Edward Cullen 📢 Episode 2 of redrawing twilight characters for the first time since 2009, I’ll be honest this one took an unexpected turn for me but I don’t hate the result? What do we think? Also let me know who I should draw next!

A list of my current fantasy and sci-fi books I plan to read in the next few months, not in any particular order. A reference if you’re looking for your next book!

Trying something a little different today 👀 wanted to compile some old artwork over the years of some of my all time favorite reads, both just to share the art and also perhaps give you an easy list of books I recommend to add to your TBR! 📖

I pulled this out of my closet
(hence why it's so wrinkly lol) just to share, it was one of my first graphic tees and just part of my love for the Lunar Chronicles!! I still sell it on my shop! #booktok #thelunarchronicles

Iris and Roman from Divine Rivals 🗞️

This book was one of my favorite reads of last year. I actually started this drawing back in December and abandoned it until now 😅 I didn’t even intend to finish it, but I wanted to draw something and didn’t want to start over on something new so this got pulled from the WIP grave 🙌🏼 my process has changed a bit too since working on this so it was kinda hard to know where to start but here’s the final result! It’s interesting to see how art and process can change.

What have been your favorite reads of 2024 so far? Give me suggestions!!

OR really this deserves to be a CW show because it’s basically made for it 👀 (but do they even make CW shows anymore I might be showing my age and that era is long over 😭)

The link to it is in my bio under Current Art Tools if you’re interested! Buying this stand has helped me with my art immensely and helped my posture, so I definitely recommend a stand for all artists!

Let me know if you’d be interested in any other of my art tech recommendations because I have gone through many 🥲
