UPDATE // Storyworld art & process
Added 2020-01-13 10:15:42 +0000 UTC
Hey lovely Patrons! Just a little update to let you know what I’ve been up to for the past two days! Long story short: I travelled up to Groningen, a city in the Netherlands that’s about a two hour drive from my hometown, and spent two days there to be present at the official opening of Storyworld.
Storyworld is a new museum about comics, games and animation. They also have a temporary exhibition space, and my art will be on display there until the end of March! The museum is located inside a huge, super modern building which has also just opened. It felt like a huge honor to be a part of it.
Saturday was the official opening and I was there to sign books and do some live drawing sessions. I did two 30 minute sessions, first drawing Aloy and then drawing Ariel. My drawing process was projected on a gigantic screen throughout the building! Here’s the drawings I made during those sessions, including the steps:
LIVE DRAWING 01 // ALOY
LIVE DRAWING 02 // ARIEL
The main thing I try to show during these live demonstrations is that I usually start very simple and try not to sweat the details. I just kind of wing it and improvise as I go, and it usually works out in the end. I want to demystify the process, and show people that the drawing doesn’t have to be perfect!
Here are some photos of the event and the screen projection:
Today it’s back to work! I’m putting together a full process video of one of my older paintings, plus the sketchbook tour. And of course I’ll be creating some new art this week :) Thanks for reading everyone! <3

2020-01-14 09:09:05 +0000 UTCthanks so much! i feel like I still need to get into the swing of things here. I need to figure out how things work and balance the creation of videos / behind the scenes stuff with making new art. but it's very new so I'm sure I'll figure it out!
