Hello friends,
This is the first illustration I’m creating for my upcoming art book. I’m posting this on Patreon only, so please don’t share it anywhere. It’s the artwork that opens the chapter that includes some drawings from my early childhood, as well as talk about early influences.

As you know, I’m completely wrapped up in making my art book and this is a first look at an image that’s going to play a major role in it. That’s all I can say for now.
I won’t be able to share the full illustration for over half a year, but I’m so looking forward to it.

Hello friends!
I hope you’re well. I myself had a few lovely days in Munich with the folks from Adobe. I coloured this illustration live on air at Adobe.com (narrated in German though).
But now it’s about time I take a few days off. It might now seem like I’m doing much at the moment, but I’m working hard...

Hello friends,
I hope you’re well. I‘m currently painting the cover for my upcoming art book. I wish I could share it with you, but I have to keep it secret to not ruin the big reveal and surprise.
Aaanyway, I wanted to let you know that the Botanical Witches calendars are available for preorder now 2019-10-01 16:30:20 +0000 UTC View Post
Do you know the feeling when you’re working on something and you keep staring at it until you don’t know what to think of it anymore? I honestly have no idea if this turned out well or not. I‘ll just let you decide.
But I definitely did my best!
This will be part of the Earth Draw II campaign that launches...

Getting lost in all the little details. <3
I actually like this crop, too.

It’s coming along. I decided to ditch the tree in the front because it was distracting me.
The overall colour scheme is pretty much there, but I will put a looot more hours into rendering to make it look nice and detailed. I hope you like it so far! 🌱

Hello friends!
I was asked to join the Earth II project/campaign by 3D Total to help save the rainforest.
I took the chance to start a painting of an epic Mononoke-style forest. I hope it turns out the way I imagine it. I wanted the trees to be massive. If you look closely, you can find tiny tiny deer. Can you s...

Hello friends!
This last weekend has been a wild ride. First of all, a 3-day trip to the US is a bit too short, I should have known. That jet lag made me an early bird and stole my appetite - two things that are very atypical for me. But it did not dampen my enthusiasm for the convention!
I felt like a kid in a ca...

Sorry for not being able to reply to a lot of messages. This event kept me so busy! I will get back into things after I get back to Germany.

Hello friends!
I‘m going to send out the rewards tomorrow and this new illustration will be part of them, as well as Flooded City.
I‘m getting ready for my trip to the US. It’ll be my first time and I’m pretty excited! But I will basically only be there for the convention, so there’s no time for tourist...

For my talk at LightBox Expo, I decided to record the process for a quick painting so that I can play it in the background during a q&a session. The talk is supposed to be 1 1/2 hours, so I figured this was a nice way to get a demo-ish part in there!
So I started this drawing today. Feels kind of nice to JUST draw a...

Wohoo, if everything goes according to plan, I’ll be finishing the Schoolism course tomorrow. Fingers crossed! The painting process for this illustration is the final demo I’m adding.
Here’s a close up:
Heeey, I hope you‘re doing well!
Remember when I said that the Schoolism course was almost done. Well, turns out I needed to put in more work and now I‘m even finishing a whole new illustration for an extra demo. But that’s ok. I want it to be as good as it can be, so it‘ll be worth it.
It will come out ...

Today is the deadline for my Schoolism course. I handed in all the files and it seems like there are some more things that I need to tweak. But the majority is done (226 hours of work btw) and I can slowly start painting again!
