EARLY ACCESS // baobabs

Speedpaint of a landscape with baobab trees. I just love how chunky these trees look so I had to try and capture them! 

PROCESS VIDEO // forest in watercolor

The second process video in watercolor! Again, had to edit out some parts because my head dipped in, but for the most part the full process is on there. I sped it up 2x, and you can adjust the speed to be faster or slower with the gear button. 

This one was more painterly than the mush...

PROCESS VIDEO // mushrooms in watercolor

I filmed the process for two of the watercolor pieces I did: the mushrooms and the forest sketch! Had to edit out some parts because my head dipped in, but for the most part the full process is on there. I sped it up 2x, and you can adjust the speed to be faster or slower with the gear button.&nb...

BRUSHTOBER // first attept at acrylics

I sat down to try acrylics this week for Brushtober and it was just awful, haha. After two weeks of using watercolor type paints, I found acrylics to be super blobby and difficult to manage. I used to use it all the time in high school and I was struggling with the same stuff I did back then: mud...

BRUSHTOBER // watercolor final pieces

I spent this weekend trying  out watercolors for week 3 of brushtober! The theme was nature in autumn so of course I had to paint a forest and some mushrooms :) I filmed the full process for these, I'll be editing / rendering out that video this week so you can see how I handle watercolors! ...

The brushes I used during this video were:

EARLY ACCESS // dog studies

I saw a photo of this dog breed called a cane corso, and I was really captivated by the fur. Something about the inky dark fur with these glossy highlights made it look like a living drawing! Also, it was really large in size which added to the surreal vibe. So I had to make some studies of them ...

EARLY ACCESS // brushtober week 2

My final drawings for week 2 of brushtober! I did the sunset piece first and I really fought with the drawing. I just couldn't make it work. But then when I did the swirly one, it finally 'clicked' for me. I started painting rather than drawing. I think it's because I was  more patient with ...

BRUSHTOBER // self portrait

Diving deeper into the ink wash & ecoline for #brushtober! I found a box of ecoline inks from my art school years and discovered that they still work after 15 years, so I used some of them for this drawing! 

It’s a self portrait, showing what my hair used to look like before the ...

PROCESS VIDEO // generating ideas in procreate, part 1

Here’s a new type of video for you guys! It’s my first time making one of these so I’d love to hear your feedback. Basically I filmed the thumbnailing process of my Procreate commission, and kinda talked ...

BRUSHTOBER // yellow

It’s week two of #brushtober so I’m diving into ink wash and ecoline! For me it’s basically a transitional phase between inktober and full-on painting, a way to dip my toes into the painting mindset. I’m trying to approach ink in a more painterly way, creating volumes and blending a bit m...

BRUSHTOBER // week 1 - gouache & acrylic

Week one of my #brushtober challenge is complete! Over the weekend I tested out gouache and acrylic, and I’m not gonna lie, it was rough. A part of me regrets taking on this challenge because I have such a long way to go in figuring out how to make this work for me! 😂 But then I remind mysel...

BRUSHTOBER // week 1 - ecoline & watercolor

I started on Brushtober! This week is just to experiment and play around with the paint and paper. I started by playing around with ecoline ink and watercolor, just testing out the paints and seeing how it interacts with two different paper types. It’s been such a long time since I just tried o...

UPDATE // october is almost here!

It's almost time for the month of drawing challenges! October is one of my favorite months of the year, because I love the autumn and also it's my birthday on the 11th! Bring it on ~ but first I gotta wrap up this month! Here’s a quick review of how September went for me:
