juno draws

Someone who recently discovered that drawing is fun, but is still fumbling around in the dark about exactly how to do this thing.

Coulours of the soul

[junodrawsthings]

Not quite as sick and depressed today so decided to do another self portrait!

I got an iPad Pro! Finally get to play around in Procreate. I feel so much freer as mistakes can be undone much more easily.

This is a WIP of my grandparents who have sadly both passed away. The reference is my favourite photograph of them from the last years, as it shows how much they loved each other even at that age.

There will still be many changes I’m sure, especially in the form of adding some finer details and highlights, but feedback is welcome even at this stage! Everything done so far was done with the gouache brush in procreate.

Time to prepare a new year in my bujo!

A sligtly different Christmas card design that I made for a foot therapist. Will make a larger version later for better printing possibilities and more accurate details.

My Christmas countdown bujo page! I’ll colour in and decorate one tree each day. I’ve started off with very cool greens, but might slowly progress to warmer colours as Christmas closes in!

This is my sixth month of bullet journaling so I figured it was time to share a page! Can’t make up my mind if I should’ve added a third colour or not, but oh well!

Time for some Christmas cards! Gotta make them early this year as I’ll have no time closer to December. This one is not very colourful but I kinda think it’s cute anyway :D you can only see the snow in the right light, however, but I didn’t want to add too dark shadows..

And I’ll work on getting th anatomy right again next time, although I do think it’s kinda cute when the head just sticks out of the middle of the shell x)

Inktober Day 2

[junodrawsthings]

Inktober has begun! I’ve decided to put less pressure on myself this year and will aim to do a small ink drawing of a plant, practicing various shading techniques, each day of Inktober. I know it will be a really busy month for me, so this way there is at least a small chance that I’ll be able to make it through all of Inktober. Wishing everyone else doing Inktober the best of luck and lots of fun!

Done in Faber Castell Artist PITT pens sizes S and M

Figured I’d finally try my hands at some watercolour galaxies. I really want some white ink or a good opaque white gel pen to make the stars stand out more, though..
