When writing is all you have left

There are times in our lives where we find ourselves lost, without any sense of direction or purpose. Maybe it’s the daily stress, the worries. Maybe we’ve burned out. It’s easy to lose motivation and track of what’s really important to us, especially when we reach a turning point in our life and we need to ask ourselves “What do I really want?”. I recently found myself in such a point where…

What is happening in EA Games? Latest news and the future of The Sims 4

Over the last few months, The Sims 4 began receiving negative feedback from its community, culminating with the most recent stuff pack release, “My First Pet Stuff”. Before that, complaints were voiced regarding the “Laundry Day Stuff” pack, apparently an item pack made “by the players” through voting on the Sims Community website. Now, more recent news about several EA employees working on The…

My take on Kai'Sa, daughter of the Void. I fell in love with her even before she was released 😄 the skin tone was so hard to get right though. Hope you like it! 😊 • • • • • #drawing #leagueoflegends #fanart #female #portrait #leaguefanart #colored #pencil #fabercastell #polychromos #art #artist #artoninstagram #illustration #kaisa #leagueoflegendschampions #character #videogames #coloured #coloredpencils #purplehair #purpleeyes #marksman #artwork

Genderbent Kayn because why not? 😂 I struggled a bit with this one but I am really happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it! 😊 💕 Let me know who I should draw next. • • • • • #colored #pencil #drawing #genderbent #kayn #female #portait #art #artwork #traditional #coloredpencils #traditionalart #coloured #leagueoflegends #fanart #champion #champions #fabercastell #polychromos #leagueoflegendschampions #assassin #shadowassassinsartwork #illustration #artist #artoninstagram #leaguefanart

SO happy with how this turned out. For the first time I was able to hold back and not go overboard with the colors and I worked out so great. I really love this style and I will surely make more. I also used plain printing paper for this which rarely (if ever) happens. I really want to turn this into a print. • • • • • #drawing #doodle #portait #female #pencildrawing #pencil #art #traditional #traditionalart #artoninstagram #artist #sketch #sketchbook #illustration #plain #paper #coloredpencils #colored #coloured #pencils #fabercastell #polychromos #character #redeyes #purplehair #red #purple

Working on a new drawing 😊 I want to try and give it a soft color while keeping the sketch-like line art. Kind of like a refined sketch I guess. • • • • • #sketch #drawing #pencil #artwork #workinprogress #wip #coloredpencil #traditionalart #art #artoninstagram #traditional #illustration #artist #female #portrait #soft #pink

A quick sketch that I want to try coloring with watercolours. I think it took about 5-10 minutes to draw. • • • • • #quicksketch #female #portrait #sketch #watercolour #drawing #illustration #art #traditionalart #sketchbook #mechanicalpencil

I finally got to put my Pentel brush pen to work and it's a LOT harder than it seems. I still need to practice more so excuse the wobbly lines 😊 • • • • • #watercolor #postcard #spring #design #painted #handmade #handpainted #illustration #springvibes #pentel #pentelbrushpen #flowers #nature #traditional #art #artist #traditionalart #painting #postcards #etsy #store

I finished @artworkbygabrielle 's new sketching with Copics course on @skillshare and I just LOVED it! 💕 Problem is my only grey Copic ran out just few weeks ago and there doesn't seem to be any Copics in sight here (5 art stores and counting) so until my next trip to Belgium, I will stick to the graphite pencil sketches 😊 I am not sure if I like her better with or without freckles. • • • • • #sketch #portait #pencil #pencildrawing #art #drawing #female #traditionalart #graphitepencil #artwork #soft #artoninstagram #illustration #artist #practice #course

I miss my little poochy 😢😢😢

More new designs for the upcoming postcards. I am not the best at calligraphy but I will add text to them as well. Right now I enjoy playing with wreaths and flowers and that washed off effect on the leaves and flowers, it looks so delicate. • • • • • #postcard #handpainted #design #spring #floral #wreath #botanical #nature #leaves #flower #flowers #handmade #hand #painted #painting #easter #purple #pink #green #fresh #delicate #art #artwork #illustration #artist #artoninstagram #etsy #etsyshop #sellonetsy #new #product

Started working on a series of spring and Easter themed postcards, which will be available in my Etsy store soon. This is the first one, just to test the paper but I am happy with the result 😊 • • • • • #handmade #postcard #painting #watercolor #watercolorpainting #hand #painted #botanical #spring #easter #print #design #leaves #flowers #green #pink #illustration #art #artwork #traditional #traditionalart #etsy #store #shop #etsyshop #sellonetsy #artist #artoninstagram

Decided to add color accents to make the portrait a bit more lively. I think her eyes are a bit too big for her head though... Don't forget! The Etsy sale is up until Thursday. 50% off ALL my original works. Plus FREE shipping in Europe! • • • • • #drawing #female #portrait #pencil #pencildrawing #artwork #illustration #illustrator #traditional #art #artist #artoninstagram #traditionalart #copic #color #bristolboard #etsy #sale #store #shop #saleonetsy #etsyshop

More practice with my girls. This time I played around with expressions a bit. ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ #sketch #practice #art #artoninstagram #drawing #illustration #pencil #pencildrawing #traditional #traditionalart #sketchbook #training #female #portait #artist #artdaily

Some more practice with face proportions and styles. I took up @artworkbygabrielle 's courses on Skillshare and I found it enormously helpful with my own drawing style. Soon I'll be able to add pencils and Copic to them 😊 ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ #sketch #sketchbook #drawing #illustration #practice #female #portait #pencil #pencildrawing #art #artist #traditional #traditionalart #skillshare #course #training #artdaily

I heard about this new app everyone started raving about, more or less, and I decided to join the band wagon. Follow me there, I could use some company 😊 #vero #veroapp
