So alot of people have asked if I'll be joining in on Inktober this year and to be honest, it's been a battle to figure out what to do. Alot of things are colliding this month. (Good things, don't worry!) For those of you that don't know, I work part time as a barista, I teach manga two places(love theae kids) and recently I've started getting more illustration clients(which is SO AWESOME and I'm SO grateful and happy about it💖) These different elements can be a juggle to handle sometimes and to top it off I'll be going to my first Convention abroad! Therefore, I've decided to only contribute with 4 pieces this month. (Which is super sad as I even made a prompt list, sketches and had everything prepared.. ) BUT I have to face the reality which is that I have a super tight schedule right now and I need to take care of myself too. I might make it as a personal project next month or in February though so don't worry guys ❤️ I'm so excited about it and I can't wait to show you! Here's some doodles from my sketchbook a bit inspired by the October weather 😊 . . . . . #freelanceillustrator #freelancer #sketchbook #doodle #drawing #pencilsketch #pilotpen (her: Gentofte) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZEcwWBzWp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1feb0bv6tfh7v

Some more work I did for The National Symphonic Orchestra: the mascot wanting to be part of the orchestra and teasing the musicians 😂 I'm so grateful for what I learned studying Graphic Design as it's something I can incorporate in my work now 💖 photo material is theirs, I drew the cat and edited it into them 😊 . . . . #characterdesign #symfoniorkester #freelanceillustrator #freelanceillustration #animedrawing #mangadrawing #digitalartist #catmascot #mascotdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/BoJIaMhhoDV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=477ll6d7xnr4

This might be a bit hard to relate to if you're not in the anime/manga community but I'm SO full of gratitude and joy right now, and proud to announce the illustrations that I've been working on for a while. Cause I was assigned yo design the mascots for the Danish anime convention J-popcon 2019! J-popcon was the first Convention I went to as a little girl and has been the core for so many wonderful experiences and acquaintances. So being asked to create the mascots is a dream come true. Thank you @jpopcon for choosing me as next years mascot artist 💖 . . . . #characterdesign #animeconvention #mascotdesign #freelanceillustrator #illustration #animestyle #animedrawing #mangadrawing #mangastyle #jpopcon #jpopcon2019 #happythankyoumoreplease (her: Copenhagen) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bntcl-OBb1h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3h7jleewpfew

Whenever I see a stranger that I end up drawing, I always think of who that person is and what their background story is. This is a girl I saw in the train on my way home the other day. What do you think this girl is like/ what is she experiencing? . . . . #digitalportrait #digitalartwork #ipadart #procreate #procreateart #drawing #tegning #comicstyle #freelancer #freelanceartist #nørrebro #freelanceillustrator (at Nørrebro) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnrU-I_BHTn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=czuooujefwa3

Continuously working on this one p: again, so sorry about the weird updates this week! I'll do my best to go back to the usual schedule next week💖 made on my iPad with @tanfrance s charcoal brush for procreate! . . . . #digitalportrait #drawing #digitalpainting #tegning #ipadart #pastelcolors #mangastyle #animestyle #freelanceillustrator #purplehair #purple💜 #procreate #procreateart #procreateapp https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnd0itrhRRG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g9eszts784xz

One of my favorite things to do is experimenting with new mediums or brushes. Really enjoying the chalky brushes in Procreate. It gives the drawing a mysterious feel somehow. Here’s a quick doodle i did, experimenting.☺️ . . . . #tegning #digitalportrait #drawingdigital #procreate #ipadart #ipad2018 #ipad #animestyle #mangastyle #digitalpainting #animegirls (at Gentofte) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnENwXbhYmL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dt5pp3r1ptf2

This is how my body decides to deal with struggle sometimes 😅I’m sure there are other, more healthy ways to deal with stuff like this but to me it almost always helps. What about you? How does your body react when facing struggle? #comic #comicstrip #tegneserie (at Gentofte)

Been feeling a bit unmotivated and tired today so here’s a doodle I made some weeks ago when @loisvb released her #drawthisinyourstyle . I created it with some pastel stabilo highlighters and a cute pen I bought in Crete 😊 . . . . #loishredraw #traditionalart #tegning #doodle #drawing #sketchbook #stabilo #stabilomarker #derwent #freelanceillustrator #illustrator

GUUYYS, I’m so excited about this! 😭 So some time ago I was contacted by DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation.) They had seen one of my illustrations here on insta and asked me if I wanted to collaborate on creating a Mascot for some of their concerts played by their orchestra. More specifically, they’re making concerts with music from games(final fantasy, bioshock etc.) and next year there is Fantasymphony with music from Harry Potter, LOTR and GOT 😭 I’m so grateful and I happy that they considered me as an illustrator and it has been an awesome project to work on. And I can’t wait to show you the rest of what I’m working on! Thank you so much @drkoncerthuset . . . . #freelancelife #freelanceillustration #digitalart #digitaldrawing #characterdesign #tegning #karakterdesign

A Quick warm up sketch i did today. Every time i draw digitally for a period of time, I miss drawing traditionally and the other way around. If you draw, What’s your favorite medium? Digitally or traditionally? . . . . #digitaldrawings #portræt #traditionalart #tegning #doodle #sketchbook #dailydrawing

You guys, I’m falling for this series. Hard. 🙈😭 Which is your favorite character and why? Mine is kirishima cause he’s always so encouraging, honest and sweet. And I love how all the characters are motivated by different things! . . . . #myheroacademia #bokunohero #bnh #bnhfanart #ochako #uraraka #ochakofanart #animestyle #mangastyle #lidafanart #tenyalida #bokunoherofanart
