Here is a collection of this month's pieces! :) As always, you can download the process PDFs in the attachments!

✧Raiffie✧ WIP - Owl Tree

Raide and I have been working together on an owl piece. She made great process with the background, so now, it was my turn to design the owls °v° You can see the sketches of them in the second image~

✧Raide✧ Early Access Batch - Toph & Discord Study

Really enjoyed making both of these artworks recently :)

✧Raide✧ Early Access - The Yellow Umbrella

I felt like practicing my scenery painting skills, so I decided to draw the same scene from two different perspectives: a wide-shot and a close-up. Hope you like these :)

✧Raide✧ Tutorial - Portrait Rendering Tips

Finally, this new tutorial is here! :) It took me a couple of days to write, record, paint and edit everything, so I really hope you will find it helpful! :)

The tutorial is split in 5 tips and a timelapse part. Let me know if you enjoy this!

I'd love to make more videos like this one...

✧Raide✧ Early Access Batch - DTIYS & Autumn Landscape

Hi everyone ^^ After a long week, I finally managed to work on some of my personal projects today. I also recorded the audio for the upcoming tutorial - stay tuned for that!

✧Raide✧ WIP Batch - DTIYS, Reflection, Autumn Landscape

Here are some drawings that I've been working on. The first one will be a DTIYS challenge, so if you're interested in joining that, here is a sneak peak <3 The others are more experimental landscape drawings. I'd love to finish them too!

I have so many plans and yet so little time : , ) ...

✧Update✧

Hi everyone! ^^

Sorry for being a little inactive here over the past week - Leffie and I are currently preparing many prints for a 4 day long upcoming con. That plus shop and German tax stuff is taking up a lot of our time right now, so I (Raide) wasn't able to finish new artworks last week...

✧Raide✧ Early Access - Train

I'm really happy with how this turned out! ^^ Decided to go out of my comfort zone and paint two characters in a city setting! Hope you like it :)

✧Raide✧ Early Access Batch - Vase & 6 Fanarts

I made these artworks in collaboration with XP-Pen - more info on that will come soon ^^

Btw, the character with the vase inspired dress might become a DTIYS challenge! :)

✧Study With Us✧ Poll #2

This month, we want to focus on expressions and portraits. Let us know which of these photos you'd like to study with us during a Discord call. We will discuss dates and more info in our server.

✧Raide✧ Step by Step - Collection 3 (February 2022)

Here is this month's step-by-step collection! ^^ I'm sorry that I wasn't able to post this sooner - The last couple of days have been really turbulent for me and many others. Anyways, I hope you'll find this helpful :)

✧Raide✧ WIP - 6 Fanarts

I will probably post this to social media on International Women's Day^^ I should be finished with it soon! :)

✧Raide✧ Wallpaper Collection 10

Hi everyone! ^^ Here is February's wallpaper collection! As always, you can download these individually, or together in one go through the zip file that is attached!

✧Poll✧ Which tutorial / topic would you like to see next month?

I (Raide) based these options on the answers / suggestions I received from my last Instagram story where I asked my followers which topics they would like me to address! ^^

Let me know if there are other topics that you would find interesting too!

✧Raide✧ Early Access - In The Rain

Do you recognize these characters?^^ I had so much fun painting them in some dramatic lighting again :)

✧Raide✧ Early Access - Pink Isabela

I edited the last study I did and turned the model into Isabela! Had loads of fun trying out different blend modes to change the colors of the dress / skin! Hope you like it :)

✧Raide✧ Early Access - Like a Boss

This is a contest entry that I did for the Polymanga con in Switzerland ^^ Each artist that is accepted at the con has to enter an art contest with the theme "Like a Boss". I actually had a lot of fun coming up with the concept ^^

I might edit some proportions here and there, but overall, i...

✧Raide✧ Tutorial - Brushes

Finally, I managed to finish this tutorial! It took me a while to edit and record everything, but I learned a LOT during the process.

Like I mention in the video, even if you don't use ArtRage, I personally find it helpful to look at the workflow and brushes of other artists - I learned a l...

✧Raide✧ Early Access - Yellow Dress

I really enjoyed yesterday's drawing session, and decided to finish this piece once I woke up in the morning :D 

I can't wait to see everyone's finished studies <3

✧Raide✧ WIPs - Vase, Eira, Mountains

Here are a couple of drawings that I'm currently working on^^ I'm definitley having fun with all of them, so I hope that I will  be able to finish them all soon!

✧Raide✧ Early Access - The Swing

I recently went through my old art folders and found a study that I did back in 2018 of the famous "The Swing" painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. I immediatley pictured Isabela Madrigal from Encanto on the swing, so I decided to edit that old piece ^^ 

I hope you guys like it! :)

✧Raide✧ Early Access - Lights

Had so much fun studying two beautiful photographs by Polina Washington on Instagram :)  I changed elements here and there, in case you were wondering!

✧Study With Us✧ Poll #1

Raide and I want to push our skills and learn more from real-life references.

We plan on drawing the same studies at the same time (and maybe give them our own twist). In case any of you want to jo...

✧Raide✧ Early Access - Pressure

Recently, I've noticed that a lot of artists that I follow online have experienced massive drops in reach. Social media puts so much pressure on artists to constantly mass produce high-quality work. Artists who can't keep up can feel sad or angry at the algorithm. And I would be lying if I said t...

✧Raide✧ WIP - Juliet

I was really challenging myself with this piece, but in the meantime I'm not completley feeling it. So instead of leaving in my unfished artworks folder, I thought I'd share it with you guys here ^^

✧Raide✧ Step by Step - Collection 2 (January 2022)

I'm pretty satisfied with all the artworks I made this month ^^ You can download the process PDFs in the attachments! (Jinx, Throne, Red Hair Part 4, Lead, Selfie).

I hope you'll find this helpful :)

✧Raide✧ Early Access - Jinx Sheet

I finally watched the last episode of Arcane and it was so intense! :O So I was inspired and decided to make these drawings :)

I'm unsure if I am 100% satisfied with them- I might change little details before posting it to social media!

✧Raide✧ Voice-Over - Vi

A new voice-over video is here ^^ I hope you'll find these insights helpful! Let me know if there are other art-related topics that you want me to talk about in future videos. :)

I really enjoyed making this study today ^^ I might edit it later if I feel like some proportions look off!
