EARLY ACCESS // gesture sketches

Here's my take on this month's drawing challenge for flame members! The challenge was on drawing gesture sketches, and I tried to keep these as quick and fluid as possible.  I would have liked to spend some more time rendering these, but I really need to keep my drawing sessions short because of my drawing injury. But th...

Here’s...

EARLY ACCESS // rose

It’s been a while since I sat down to finalize a painting! I created some WIPs earlier this year and decided to get to work on one of the black & white sketches. I ended up developing the concept a little further as I painted in ...

EARLY ACCESS // scraps

I love collecting memories in the form of scraps and photo books. I like digging through all of the little bits and pieces I’ve collected and figuring out what they’re from and why I decided to save them. The downside is that I have lots of shoeboxes full of random receipts and snippets that still need to be sorted throug...

EARLY ACCESS // vanoise

Last summer, I went on a trip to the mountains in France. During one of the hikes we did, Arjen took a picture of me that is now one of my favorite pictures that anyone has ever taken of me. Something about the lighting, sense of scale and details just made it feel so special! I also wanted to practice my shapes a bit after t...

EARLY ACCESS // sketches

I spent some time in my sketchbook in the last few days, just doodling random feminine stuff off the top of my head. I was also making a few quick sketches of No Girl from different angles and then I took it into Procreate and it evolved into an over-indulgent painting session! No Girl will always be my comfort zone. Hope you...

QUESTION // do you struggle with poses?

Hey patrons! A few months ago, I did a tutorial on drawing faces which involved doing paint-overs of some of your art. In august, I'd love to do a similar type of tutorial on poses. I know that a lot of you struggle with anatomy an...

EARLY ACCESS // mountain studies

This month’s challenge for flame members was on making mountain studies! This was a tough one but it yielded some absolutely incredible results from the patrons who participated.

EARLY ACCESS // reflection

This is an idea that’s been lingering in my head for a while, so I had to draw it! I just love emotional underwater themes. I’ll probably be painting more of these types of ideas in the coming weeks because it’s the summer and painting water is like a kind of mental escape for me, haha! Hope you all have an amazing week...

EARLY ACCESS // painting WIPs

This month, I really need to reboot my creativity by coming up with some painting ideas! I did a lot of rough work and sketches in the last months, and after I got back from vacation I hadn’t drawn for a while and was completely out of new ideas. It’s been a while since I came up with some rough concepts to finalize and r...
