Because I am an enormous dork, I hired @yenthejoline to create an illustration of the lead characters in my award-nominated fantasy romance novella Impossible Tasks. Now I need to finish revising it and indie publish!

Some more fun dancer studies I did awhile ago. I used a beautiful video by @danielytom as reference. • • • #characterportrait #artcommission #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #figuredrawing #gesturedrawing #figurestudies #dancerstudy #dancerdrawing #bachata https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLjZDpKVZG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Character design I did almost a year ago now at the amazing workshop I got to attent by @aaronblaiseart. Rough character design sketches like these continue to be my absolute favourite thing to do (I just don’t do them nearly enough). I had so much fun at this workshop and learned so much, and I also got to meet some amazing and talented fellow artists. • • • #characterportrait #artcommission #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-USEJq1GS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Small gouache painting I did as a gift for my grandma’s birthday. I started @justin_donaldson_art’s Painting with Gouache course last week. I am really excited to dive deeper into this medium and have some fun and experiment with traditional materials. So far I’m really enjoying it! And I’m hoping this will give me some much needed motivation and inspiration to do some personal art again as well. • • • #gouache #gouachepainting #landscapepainting #traditionalpainting #gouachelandscape #switzerlandlandscape #switzerlandpainting #justindonaldsoncourse https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkJsBFKhIC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello! I love your art and am particularly obsessed with the drawing of the girl on the horse with her hair blowing in the wind. Is there a place to purchase your prints or original drawings? Apologies if I missed it. Thank you! :)

Loose and expressive illustration of a horse and it's rider. Fits in with any decor style, perfect for the adventurous soul or horse lover.

Hi! Oh thank you so much ❤️ Yes I actually digitised that sketch and have it available for purchase in my Redbubble store. You can find it through the link.

Hope that helps! ❤️

Almost autumn 🍂🍄 Finally felt like drawing something for myself again this week. I had so much fun with this little mushroom fairy. Also I need this outfit to live my ultimate hobbit autumn dreams • • • #characterportrait #artcommission #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #mushroomart #mushroomcharacter #fairyart #fairycore #autumn #autumnaesthetic #cottagecoreart #cottagecore https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVdgTSq3VD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Digital watercolor portrait I did a few weeks ago. ☀️🌿 Summer is going by so fast. I took around two weeks off of work and commissions, spent some wonderful time with my family and took a short trip to Germany. Now I’m back at working on commissions. Hopefully I’ll have the motivation to do some personal art soon too 😅 What is your favorite thing you’ve done this summer so far? • • • #characterportrait #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #watercolorfairy #digitalwatercolor #fairyart #fairydrawing #fairycore #cottagecore #cottagecoreart https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSeKe4q4NZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Character exploration sketches I did when I attended an AMAZING live workshop in Amsterdam by @aaronblaiseart back in May. It was an incredible experience and opportunity, I met so many amazing people and of course learned so much from Aaron. I had a lot of fun with these, coming up with different poses and emotions for the character. Animals are not my main interest to draw but I always really enjoy it. • • • #characterportrait #artcommission #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #animalcharacterdesign #animaldrawing #animalsketch #dogdrawing #dogcharacterdesign #aaronblaiseworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CghdKeiqgIl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After a long wait, here is the final addition to my first set of Seasonal Fairies: Winter. ❄️ Swipe to see the other seasons! Which season is your favorite? I had a lot of fun with this challenge and hope to do something similar soon, but maybe slightly different, not sure yet. • • • #characterportrait #artcommission #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #fairy #fantasyart #seasonalfairies #seasonalfairies2021 #seasonalfairieswinter #winterfairies #cottagecore #fairycore #fairycoreart https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXGXtuKYxR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had the sketches for these laying around for awhile, and decided to throw some color on them! This is such a fun character to draw 🌿✨ • • • #characterportrait #artcommission #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #animalcharacterdesign #animalsketch #digitalwatercolor #turtledrawing #tortoisedrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPdVjjKtHL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Felt like drawing some pirate shirts so took the opportunity to practice drawing guys. I used inspiration/reference images for these to study facial features, and then stylized from there and made it my own. Why these shirts ever went out of style is beyond my comprehension 🤣 I recently made my own for a fantasy fair and it’s so comfortable. • • • #characterportrait #artcommission #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #piratecharacter #guydrawing #pirateshirt #piratecore #piratedrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CebaZojKpr_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know I say this all the time, but I had SO much fun with this commission for the sweet @blondebee29. Really happy with how it turned out. Swipe to see the sketch and lineart! What is your favorite part of the drawing process? Mine is sketching, but I also love working with color. • • • #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart #greekgoddess #goddessart #goddesscharacter #warriorcharacter #warriorart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd6DdyMKhbG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy MerMay! 🌊 I am keeping it loose and fun this year. I will just do a few days or as many as I can, and going to focus more on character design and keeping it loose than getting a finished illustration. I thought it would be fun to get some character descriptions or stories from you guys to base these designs on, so check out my story to send me some prompts! • • • #mermaidcharacterdesign #mermaidillustration @mermay_official #WacomMerMay2022 #mermay2022 #mermay #procreate #animationart #characterconcept #characterdesigner #visdev #characterillustration #characterdrawing #portraitart #characterart #characterdesign #dutchartist #digitalpainting #digitalart https://www.instagram.com/p/CdD3iyLKD25/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
