Art made with love, by Australian Illustrator Carlie Edwards

Earthdrawn Studio is a brand based in sunny Queensland, Australia, offering premium art prints and greeting cards featuring the work of watercolour & pencil artist Carlie Edwards.

Growing up among the bush & beach in Byron Bay was the foundation and inspiration behind much of Carlie’s work, which has a high focus on our gorgeous Australian wildlife. Starting off with a humble little market stall selling a small range of prints, Carlie was blown away by the love and support from the community, and what began as a weekend hobby around her corporate day job quickly blossomed into a fulltime business.

Upon exploring the collection, you’ll be drawn into an enchanting world of colour, imagination and intricate details, all created with hundreds of coloured pencils and an enormous amount of love. From tiny strands of fur to the glisten in each animal’s eye, it all comes together one stroke at a time. A common question is how long it takes to complete a piece, which can range up to 60 hours!

Every single element of the artwork is sketched and refined before the colour is added. Multiple layers of watercolour are painted onto the artwork first to give some gorgeous textures and set the tone. Then the magic happens when the pencilwork is added. A key part of every artwork; the eyes, are always done last!
