I'm having so much fun designing the little details and facial features. To me, it's as if the characters are becoming real once I see them from different angles, which is really cool. I can't wait to dig into the story and finally let you know who these people are.
At the moment, I'm watching a...
She is the main character, so I spent a lot of time getting her right. Especially the hair was a challenge to figure out.
I'm really putting a lot of thought and effort into making the faces distinct. Where Jun's face was rounder and softer, Leigh's features are supposed to be sharper and pointie...
Hey guys!
It's been a while. I'm sure you're all in holiday-mode by this time of the year. I hope you're having a wonderful and peaceful time with family and friends. This crazy year is coming to an end and I think we can all use some time off!
So here's what I've been up to:
I've been...
Hello everyone, how are you doing?
I decided to do this giveaway and I'd be really happy if you joined. It's just a small thing to thank you for your support, but it is something. :)
At the moment, I'm in the middle of restructuring my whole business to focus more on print sales than commiss...

So I took the chance to rearrange my Pinterest account for you to follow along if you like. At this stage in the project development, it's a lot of planning, thinking...
Hey guys! How are you doing? :)
For me, one of the big challenges of this project is improving my environment skills. So I want to so more studies like this in the future. It's not much, but I recorded the process and want to share it with you. My computer handled this one just fine, so there...
Hello my friends! I have quite a few things to share, so let's get to it.
Month of Fear: I managed to create 3 illustrations this month, but unfortunately, I'm not able to meet the deadline for the topic "Darkness". Some unexpected revisions for my freelance work came up, so there was no t...

As promised, here is the coloured version of the illustration done for this week's Month of Fear challenge. I hope you guys like it!

For this week's challenge, I did not do the usual preliminary planning. Instead, I just started drawing to see where it would take me. I had a certain mood and expression in mind that I wanted to capture. This is what came out of it. I thought it might be interesting to put the digital sketch and th...

The illustration for the Month of Fear theme "Doors" is finished. I must say that I'm having so much fun with these challenges! They give me all kinds of ideas for the world I'm creating. What do you think could be behind that door? :)

I think the lineart is my favourite stage in each drawing. I hope you like it!

I just finished the sketch for the next Month of Fear challenge. As the previous drawing, this scene looks rather peaceful at this point. But I'm going to add dramatic, mysterious lighting in the colouring stage.
Lineart will be posted tomorrow! :)
Also, I made a twitch account for st...
I skipped the "Wicked" challenge and went ahead to work on "Doors" instead. Five illustrations within one month is a lot and I'd rather do a good job with four of them than to rush things. For now, I'm exploring the world visually in putting the characters into some key locations rather than focusin...

Officially, this is the first illustration I managed to create with your support. I hope you like it. Thank you all so much!

I printed the digital sketch and traced the lines. I'm going to colour this and finish it today. :)

Finally, all the client work is done and I'm ready to move on to the Month of Fear illustrations I've been looking forward to. September has been a rough month.
Anyway, here is a little insight into my thought process. Before I start drawing, I like to start with word associations, symbols and...

I just finished the sketch for the first Month of Fear topic "Secret" and you guys are the very first to see it! After giving it some thought, I decided to go with a secret hidden place, like a shrine within a tree. Next, I'm going to print this out and make a clean line drawing with mechanical pen...

Hey guys!
I hope you're all well.
As I announced earlier, I'm going to create four illustrations in October that loosely fit within the topics of the Month of Fear...

I thought I should let you know what I'm up to in September and October.
September: I've already accepted a whole lot of client work that needs to get done until the end of the month. But I'm trying to fit in as much personal work as I can. Though I probably w...

I just created this brush and figured it would be a nice little thing to share on here. You can find a .rar file attached that includes the brush, sketch and a short instruction. :)Have a great week everyone!

This is the very first full illustration in the series that I previously created to get a better idea of the look and mood of the following artworks.
