Hello friends!
How are you doing? I'm sorry that I can't show you any new art at the moment. But I'm expecting to wrap up my current project in about two weeks. And then it's all about painting!
But until then, I'll be joining my friends Lorena and Kim for a fun hangout and chat, as always...
Hello friends!
Thank you so much for the kind responses to the last post. They were really encouraging!
Today I'm sharing an illustration I've been working on last month, and now I'm able to show it to you. Clip Studio Paint reached out to me and asked me to paint something for them. ...
2021-06-18 07:39:11 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends,
How are you all doing?
For the first time in a long time, I feel free and happy and here's why:
1.) I finally got my vaccine appointments.
2.) I recently came across a book that came just at the right time when I really needed it.
It's "Deep ...

Hello friends!
Since I haven't done Inktober for a long time, I also haven't created any smaller paintings. But it's really fun and relaxing to add some more of them in between my bigger illustrations.
So I'm starting this series of simple nature paintings.
I used procreate for this and...
Hello friends!
It's been a bit quiet around here because I just took some time off. Just a week before I jump head-first into that big secret project I was talking about earlier.
While I won't be able to share the progress, I will also be doing some quicker paintings over the next few...
Hello friends!
After those insanely detailed paintings, it's nice to take a step back and work on something a lot simpler. And hey, there's a train in it! I guess there's just no point in denying my 'Fernweh'. If you could go anywhere now (with pandemics, money or time not being an ...

Hello friends!
Long time no see. I hope you're doing well and you've been able to catch a bit of sunlight. It's been lovely here these last couple of days. ☀️
Now, onto the reason why I haven't posted anything in a while: I've been struggling with this painting. And I mean STRUGGLING. ...
Hello friends!
I hope you're doing well and are having a nice week so far.
I've been working on a new painting for a couple of days now and it's finally at a stage where I'm excited to show it to you.

Hello friends!
I've been chipping away at this sketch for a little over a week. It's by the far the most detailed thing I've ever attemped. Surprisinly, I really enjoyed drawing all those buildings. Fingers crossed the painting part goes well!

Hello friends!
Last year, I released my art book "Komorebi" on Kickstarter. And I know that lots of you got themselves a copy (thank you so much 💜).

Hello friends!
It's been over a week since I posted the sketch for this and now I can finally present the final result! I went for more of a muted palette, which is rare for me. But it seemed fitting.
I loved getting lost in all the details around the room - especially the retro...

Hello friends!
I've been feeling a bit off lately, and it has made painting challenging. So I figured rather than trying to get out of this weird state, I'd explore it and get inspired by it. And this is a visual representation I came up with.
Oddly enough, I arrived at the idea of th...

Hello friends!
For today, I felt like drawing a little girl with a flower in her hair. I can't wait for summer!
Hello friends!
Here's my fourth little portrait. I'm trying to not draw women every single day and it's difficult for sure!
Hello friends!
For this one, I was imagining the girl standing near a passing train, her hair blowing in the wind (yeah, I do have a weird thing for train stations).
I hope you like it!
Hello friends!
I don't want to spam you, so this is my last post for today. But I wanted to share my drawings for the portrait challenge I'm doing. I'm trying to bring in as much character variation as possible. First, I was going for full colour, but it turned out to be too stressful...
