Lilly Piri
Australian belle Lilly Piri makes the sweetest, softest colour pencil drawings. I myself used to work with pencils only when I was small (say, to the age of 18), and Lilly’s work is a good example of why all of us illustrators should not cast aside our pencils at a certain point to go crazy on the computer all the time.
I love the soft toning in her work, and am amazed at how she manages to get such beautiful gradients out of a pencil. Plus, she often incorporates all those cute little aussie critters like possums and echidnas in her drawings. How can you not love that? How! You can’t.

Lilly’s website is here: Little Galaxie.
