Another look inside my sketchbook + updates 🌸🌿

Hi guys!! 💖

How are you? Hope you're doing well! I'm good but struggling a bit with getting things done. Days seem to be so short lately not sure why D:

First of all, this mermaid you probably saw on IG already, but I never posted the lineart here

Pasta love 🍝✨

Hello my dear patrons 💖

Hope you're having a fantastic Saturday!

I'm sorry it's been a bit quiet around here this past week, I was working on a couple of Star Wars illustrations for a new project and I'm finally done with that :D 

I really wanted to draw on my sketchbook last night but while looking for refs I came across a wonderful photo and I had this sudden urge of...

Sketchbook spread + dealing with bad drawing days ⛅🍄

Hi guys! ❤️

It feels so good to be back with art that I actually like D: I've been drawing a lot lately but I wasn't really feeling any of the stuff I was creating. I don't know what's going on with me lol I've never feel this disconnected from my art in years and it's a bit scary.

Anyways, yesterday I took the day to work *PATIENTLY* on something new, and I say patiently becaus...

New art + lil sketchbook talk 🍊✨

Hello my dear patrons! I hope you're doing well!

First of all, thanks so much for all your kind words and your understanding on my previous post, I appreciate it so so much. 

This past week was rough, as I was constantly trying to find some creative energy when my mind was clearly in other places, which led to a couple of bad drawing days and a bit of frustrati...

Sketchbook pages + life update 🌿

Hi guys! How are you? Hope you're doing well!

I don't have a lot of new exciting art to share, but I've been drawing a lot in my sketchbook lately :D 

I finally started using a sketchbook that was sent to me by Artgecko some months ago and I'm very happy with it! I think I've mentioned it before, but I love their marker paper because it doesn't bleed through and it's perfect fo...

New art // previews + step by step 🍑✨

Hi guys! Happy Saturday! 🌻

I kept working on new pieces to post for my collaboration with Kuretake, I still have to do one more drawing using the Zig Clean color brushes and then I can move on to the other set. I'm not 100% happy with my results so far but I feel I'm slowly getting the hang of them.

This one is called 'The overthinker'

Testing some new Kuretake products ✨

Hi guys! Hope you had a lovely weekend 💖

I'm back to share with you some new art I did recently 🌻 a few days ago I received a package form Kuretake with some new art supplies to try out, they asked me to make a couple of posts on my IG using them. I've always been very fan of everything Kuretake so I was very very excited for this collaboration! 

One of the products I hav...

Pose studies // look inside my sketchbook

Hi guys!

A couple of days ago I did a "live drawing" session to warm up a bit because I've been not very creative with poses lately, I used this video from New Masters Academy. Notice how rigid the first pose is and how much more movement has the last one, these exercises are pure gold to learn anatomy and understanding ...

Miya/Himi jelly gouache 🌻🌈 // Unboxing video + first impressions

Hello my dear patrons! 💖

Today I finally finished editing my video talking about the jelly gouache. I tried my best for this one but my editing skills are still pretty bad and my knowledge on video resolutions is almost nonexistent lol

Hope it's enjoyable anyways!

I'd like to make this video public at some point, but for now this is just for youu hehe

Love,

New Ghibli study using jelly gouache 🍂🍀

Hi guys!! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Yesterday I did another little study using the Himi gouache and took some pictures! Used this reference from The Secret World of Arrietty (haven't watched the movie but the scenery is just so beautiful)

I started trying to mix the right colors and puttin...

Copic Award video // early access 🌸

Hi guys!!

Slowly but surely, today I finish editing one of the many videos I have pending for my YouTube channel! I've been a bit lazy/slow creating video content lately and I'm trying to push myself a bit again.

I took one of the drawing sessions I already posted on here some time ago and just added an introduction talking a bit about the Copic Award 2020 and my overall experience,...

A mermaid // Mixed media step by step 🌿🐠

Hi guys!!

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend! ✨

Yesterday I finished a new illustration, I wanted to paint something entirely with the Himi gouache at first but then I was a bit coward lol so decided to do my usual watercolor-alcohol markers-gouache technique, and I'm actually glad I did because otherwise not sure if it'd have been successful, I still have a lot to learn fro...

New sketchbook pages // previews ✏️✨

Hello guys! 🌻

I finished my first two little studies using the Himi jelly gouache

I used references from Ponyo 🐠 there's a lot I still need to learn and improve, but I had fun with these because it was a very straight forward process, much easier than using acryla gouache ! (for me, a...

✨ New workspace ✨

Hi guys!! I hope you're doing well! 💖

I don't have much art to share today with you because I spent the weekend rearranging and setting up my new workspace! I always wanted a unified art studio where I could work digitally and traditionally so I don't have to be moving around all my art supplies every time I want to paint something.

I told my boyfriend and we decided to create ou...

Winx drawings + new sketchbook pages ✨

Hi patrons! Hope you're doing well 💖💖

I wanted to share with you a couple of photos of the final Winx drawings a some other sketches I've been doing. It's summer here and it's been reeeally hot these days and I feel a bit uninspired because of it, can't think properly 😂

Winx series ☀️

Hello my lovelies!!

Today I started a new short series of Winx drawings, because this friday releases the new live action show on Netflix! I'm not really looking forward to it as I'm sure it will be too edgy like most teen series nowadays, but I always loved Winx Club and I grew up with that cartoon so I need to see it, period x)

 Anyways, my plan is to draw one girl each day, ...

Blue witch // Acryla gouache step by step ☄️🌿

Hey guys!!

Here's a little break down on my second attempt using acryla gouache. Just a heads up, I'm still struggling quite a bit with this medium so most of the time I'm really not sure what I'm doing heh. 

I'm using my Moleskine sketchbook because although I love Mossery paper I'm just too used to paint on a smoother surface. Okay, let's start!
