Posted on Last updated:

One of the best ways to lift your mood is to spend time in nature — no matter the season. Since we also know that a benefit of drawing is feeling happier, what if we combined these two things in the form of cute, easy nature drawings? Bliss!

As background, my name is Ms. Marshall, and in addition to being a nature-lover, I’m also an artist and teacher who hand-draws each and every one of the illustrations on this site. As you may have seen from my octopus drawing, these illustrations are usually in a cheerful cartoon line art style.
