First Video!

Making a time lapse video has been on my "I seriously want to do this one day"-list for so long and I finally took the time to make it happen. I made an original illustration out of one of the animals I drew for my Animal Tuesday project. Seeing this video being on my Youtube channel makes me really proud! I can't express how excited I am about this first video! I've learnt so, so much while recording, editing and showing it to friends. A next video will follow as soon as possible! Make sure to subscribe to my channel to stay up to date.

A print of the moth will be made available somewhere this week. Keep an eye on the shop or Instagram to see it getting listed.

Sketchbooks

I really love drawing frames. Quite often, I tend to draw these frames in advance - at random pages - and keep them empty until I figure out what to put inside. For this frame, I picked the swan I drew for my weekly challenge and added some leaves. The drawing came out really nice and I'm thinking of turning this one into a new necklace piece!

As for the other drawing I'm sharing today, that's from an older sketchbook. I figured I don't often share old work, despite it being an important part of my current style. The sketchbook page you're seeing is made in 2010! It seems so long ago.


> > I've also got some exciting news: I opened a society6 store! There are - at the moment - 4 illustrations available. I want to have a couple more added by the end of the week. The illustrations look so nice as different types of products. Make sure to have a look!

Field of Poppies

The camera madness continues. This is a small illustration I made a while ago and I'll have print available of this very soon. I plan on making other illustrations available as print too, so stay tuned if you're excited about this! In the meantime, please make sure to check out the webshop as I'm having a July sale!

Camera Madness

Those who know me, know it's been difficult breaking free from drawing plants and animals all the time. Things are slowly changing, though. A dear friend and I started having small drawing sessions recently. Drawing together has been so much fun, especially when my cousin joins for a session. I really enjoy these little moments. But, to be honest, I still ended up drawing animals each time. Just not last time! My friend has an amazing collection of (vintage) cameras - amongst other amazing objects. So for the short time we had, I sat down and did pen drawings of two of her cameras. Later that week I drew my own camera. Sadly, my own collection sort of ends here.

I really loved getting back into line work. The end result looks a bit funny because of the weird compositions and lines that aren't as straight as they should be. But I really like it this way. I started drawing the lens and build up from there. You can expect likely work more often, for sure.

Pssst. My dear friend and her boyfriend also have their own business where they sell vintage, retro and antique furniture and home decor. Check them out!!
