What is your favorite tool for drawing? Seriously, I can't decide. I love my iPad for on the go but also my Cintiq with that big screen! 😍 To relax, as you know, I often paint with watercolors.

Today I thought that I had forgotten how to draw … 😅 This sketch has certainly taken me 4 hours, I was so angry! After a long walk with Dexter I started again and now I'm quite happy.

Another resolution for this year: to draw more traditionally. It's so soothing to draw away from my MacBook while listening to good music and so relaxing to just let mistakes happen on paper. ♥️ - #illustration #artistsoninstagram #drawing #painting #sketch #characterdesign #illustratorsofinstagram #watercolor #watercolour #watercolorpainting #portraitdrawing #artsupplies #art #artist #artsupplies #drawingmaterials #watercolorartists #peopledrawing #traditionalart (hier: Duisburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnKLoSlN5TE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy New Year everyone! ✨ 2022 was not my year, accordingly I ended it sick. The last year did not deserve a "year in review", even if I have experienced many beautiful moments. I have the feeling that the last year was shaped by being overworked and exhausted, having far too little time for myself and feeling somehow lost. That's why I will leave this disorientation behind me this year! 2023 I will set clear goals for myself, and let go of everything that keeps me from them. I want to be myself again, to rise above and enjoy what I create. And not live into the day without a clue what time will bring. Whether professional or personal goals. Of course I would like to thank you all again, who follow me here day by day, support, motivate and inspire me! And of course to all my friends, customers and partners, with whom I was allowed to work together during the last year. I am looking forward to the next year with you! 🫶🏼 So I start the new year ailing but totally motivated (with a few cups of hot tea)! 🫖 - #happynewyear #newyearnewme #justaquicksketch #illustration #artistsoninstagram #drawing #sketch #sketching #characterdesign #digitalart #digitaldrawing #illustratorsofinstagram #ipaddrawing #procreate #warmupsketch #portraitdrawing #procreatebrushes #brushset #girlportrait #selfcare #takecareofyou (hier: Duisburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4P4q_t8AV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey guys! As you probably know, I was very busy with our move the last weeks. I really wouldn’t have thought that it takes so much time and energy. 😮‍💨 But it was also kind of good for me to take a break from social media somehow. The constant fight against the algorithm is so exhausting. Having to produce content to generate reach and then still not being seen puts pressure on me. That's why I decided to not really take a "social media detox", but some social media free time blocks. So I can focus on things I want to do without having a bad conscience … You know what I mean? 🤔 All the more I enjoyed the time out and focused on what makes me happy. Enjoying time with my family, devoting old hobbies and being more in nature (the weather for this is more than perfect lately!). ☀️👙🦮📸 Thank you for being here and support me, it means a lot to me at this time! Karoline ♥️ P.S. I really enjoy this reduced drawing style right now. I was looking through my feed and saw my older drawings that were much more reduced. And I still love them! 💖 That's why I'd like to try this again more often. (hier: Duisburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChPsNretv2j/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
