Mr Snail, a wonky wheelbarrow and a creaky shed.
I've been busy drawing more illustrations for my short story 'The Girl who Sings to Snails', you can read the beginning of the story here.
I used drawing ink with a dip pen to draw the illustrations, and added colour using watercolours.
Mr Snail, he has a very fine moustache!
A wheelbarrow full of snails. The best way to travel around the garden, if you are a snail.
'She wriggled the rusty bolt on the shed door, it reluctantly moved to the side after a little force. Inside was mom’s old wheelbarrow, it had a wonky wheel and squeaked like an angry mouse, it was perfect for the job! She pulled it out, toppling over a few stacked plant pots on the way. She pushed it to the centre of the lawn and carefully started to place the snails inside.'
From 'The Girl who Sings to Snails' by Ophelia Fu
A creaky old shed.
I love the art style do much. It is so gorgeous. Have you thought about trying to make a children's book or story book of some kind with this type of art? You should you have the talent.

I fully support. As soon as I saw these pictures, I immediately thought they must be in a children's book.

Hello @opheliafu
These are nice drawings, you are obviously multitalented.
Wheelbarrows are definately the best form of transport in garden if you are a snail.
In my younger years I kept a garden , but what i planted were mostly Vegetables and beans, I don't have time for that now, but it was an awesome experience.
Thanks for Sharing.

In my days of snail rearing I found out that they love Paw Paw Leaves so I Cut some for them everyday.
