Hi peeps,
Here's another batch of Daily Doodles!
I explored this concept for about 3 days. (The 1st day is in my previous Daily Doodle Diary batch here).
It's somewhat of a variation on my Kindling painting.
I haven't quite left that concept behind yet, I feel like I could take it further, so explo...
Hi peeps,
I don't know how interesting the info in this post will be but I am mostly making it in the interest of transparency and generally keeping you in the loop regarding the products I offer on here and send you per your tiers.
So if you saw my posts about physical rewards the last few days, I was having some issues with the paper I use to print stickers.
Namely, I was getting vertical stripes across th...

Hi peeps,
My apologies for not updating you on these in a little while, I have been having a number of issues with printing and was actively working on resolving those asap so that I could get everything to a standard I was happy with again.
So without further ado, here are the rewards you will be receiving for the last couple of months (depending on your tier)!
Hi lovely peeps,
As promised, here is the timelapse video of the two little acrylic paintings I showed you in my previous post!
It comes with a voiceover, during which I talk a little about the challenge of trying a new technique and what I feel I learned about my style and my process.
Enjoy! <3

Hello peeps,
Here are another couple sketchbook pages from last week!
The first ink drawing of the hands is an attempt at visualising a concept I've had in mind for a while and tried to create a number of times but kept getting really confused about.
My initial idea was...
Hi peeps,
Here's another batch of Daily Doodles!
I am definitely starting to grow more comfortable with the exercise again, as is clear in my use of colour. :)
I have found myself a taste for posca pens, which is unfortunate since I only own 3 and they are damn expensive, haha. Maybe I'll treat myself every so often...

Hi peeps,
Spending my mornings doing art the last week or so was the best decision I took this year so far, and I wanted to share my pages so far with you.
The two little colourful sketches above were one of the most enjoyable exercise I did lately. I used some posca pen to...

Hi peeps,
As promised, here is the my 2021 Daily Doodle Diary Video tour!
This one is quite short as the sketchbook isn't very full and I flip through it rather than stop on pages to explain things (do let me know if you'd like a video like that of it though!).
I also chat a little about why I think this one didn't work out as well as my 2020 diary.
I hope you will enjoy it!
My 2022 diary is going better so far, let's hope that keeps going, ...
Hi peeps,
How are you all?
Here is another batch of Doodle Diary sketches!
I can already see that I am starting to find my groove with the exercise again. In comparison with the previous batch, I am starting to use colour and feeling more decisive with my drawings.
I have been making a conscious effort to set out some time for drawing every single day, usually first thing in the morning, and it has really ...

Hello peeps,
I am finally back in London!

How has every recent year felt like it went by both unbelievably fast and unbearably slowly?
Since we are the 31st, let me wish you a Happy New Year while I have you. I am spending mine with my parents, at home, with some good food and maybe a movie, which is perfect for my little hermit self.
Do you guys have plans? What type of new year’s person are you? (Or did you have plans, if you are somewhere where it is already the 1st on...

Hello lovely peeps,
My goodness did this video cause me problems!!! I have been fighting with it for 2 days now. It still isn’t at the right format for some reason that completely escapes me, so apologies for the black bands on either side, but it needed to go up today so I hope it is ok anyway.
Sorry!!
I hope you will enjoy this one, it is about 20min long, with a voiceover the whole time, where I talk a little about the piece and ramble on about various topic...

Hello lovely peeps,
How are you all doing?
How were your holidays?
Over here things were very nice, and it has been lovely if a bit of a shock to finally be home after 2 years. Readjusting to living with my parents for a few weeks has been an experience, hahaha.
As is always the case, it took me a while to settle in, and between travelling, Christmas celebrations, and catc...
Hello lovely people,
So while I was exceedingly busy the last couple of weeks packaging orders, preparing for a market and various other mundane but necessary work tasks, I did manage to (force might be another good descriptive too, because I really had to work at convincing myself I had the time to do it) squeeze in some painting.
I don't know how many of you remember this particular sketch :

Hi peeps,
Here is your Process Timelapse for November!
I pondered whether to do a voice-over on this one for while as I am never entirely sure which version you prefer, so do let me know in the comments!
Voice-over or music?
This one does include some talking, as I felt that that would be friendlier as I hadn't chatted directly to you in a while. :)

Hi peeps,
I've run out of ink about 3 times this week (always the same one too, I should have learned my lesson by now) but I finally managed to print out the November sticker designs as well as prep the mini-print, so here they are. ;)
This month's stickers will be The Hide, and Rainy Days.

Hi peeps,
So it turns out that thinking I could finish 2 highly detailed ink drawings in one day was a little too ambitious of me, hahaha. But here they are, finally, and so this series comes to an end!
Those scales took me FOREVER, but it was a nice somewhat meditative process.
I have started envisioning this concept as a full-fledged painting ...
Hi lovely people,
Today was a heavy inking day and I managed to complete 2 out of the 4 drawings left in the series.
Here are The Shadow and Free!
The composition for this piece was tricky, as I felt like the character's shadow could easily be mistaken for a pool of water, so I added the rocks and tree to create context, contrast and a comparison point f...

Hi peeps,
Here are the last sketches for the last pieces in this Inktober series!
Day 11, The Host and Day 12, The Shell.
If you've been with me a while, you might recognise this concept as another one I have had on my mind for a few years now and have been tinkering with here and there.
It is one of those ideas that won't leave me alone but that I never feel fully ready to complete.
I am intrigued to ...

Hello lovely people!
I am back from holiday and feeling all refreshed and relaxed, for the first time in a long time.
My partner and I rented an Airbnb in a renovated cow shed in the british countryside, a couple hours from where we live, and it was the most blissful experience.
The quiet, the fresh air, the animals (the owners had 2 incredibly friendly kittens, some adorable chickens and some very talkative ducks), the walks...It was paradise.

After much pondering about what I wanted to do with the background, I finally caved in to my first instinct and finished Day 08 off with a dark background.
Here's SEAMS.
There are a few details I might tweak when I get back but for now I am happy with this one and how it turned out. :)
I will be planning the last 4 pieces while I'm away and inking the...
Hi peeps,

This one is a variation on a concept I'm sure you've seen before, as I have worked on various iterations of it several times without being able to settle on a final version I liked.
This is the closest I have come to feeling satisfied with this concept though.
I think it looks very efficient in black and white!

Here's Day 06 of 12, INK!
This one might be one of my personal favourites so far. An element I am looking to incorporate into my work more moving forward is water, so this piece feel right in line with the type of theme and the sort of feelings I am aiming to express at the moment.
This is definitely one I think could look fantastic if paint...

So I keep going back and forth with Hush and whether I feel like something is missing or not.
My initial idea included strings tying up the mouth hand and being pulled and manipulated by the surrounding hands. I cannot decide whether I want to include that in this ink drawing or not...
I added the a mockup of the strings digitally to give me an idea of what it might look like, but I still can't decide...XD
So here's a poll!
