BRAIDS - Exclusive Process Video - May 2021

Hi lovely people, 

I completed a small painting as a study and experiment the other day, so here's your Process Timelapse for May!

I have a number of various original concepts in the works and I would like to experiment with my painting technique, but in order not to risk ruining any of my prepared pieces by jumping into them too soon, I spent some time on smaller studies and looser painted sketches first. 

I wanted to try out the ...

Daily Doodle Diary - 2021 #6

Hello lovely people, 

How are you all?

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last Daily Doodle Diary batch, I didn't do very well with keeping up with it during April and May. 

My motivation for it waned and I found it more of a chore than a pleasure, so I took a step back from it and worked on what I enjoyed instead, such as the big paintings, as well as few smaller ones I will be sharing with you soon.
May is also a tough month for me every ye...

THE RAFT - Sketches and Procreate Timelapse + Ribbons Update

Hi everyone, 

Here is the breakdown of my process for the third piece I am working on, The Raft (title tbc). 

This piece has probably been the most straightforward one out of the 3, as far as the concept is concerned. 

It started out with some rough sketches, and some attempts at some thumbnails, but I didn't feel much need to explore this one in depth, as I had a pre...

DUST - WIP - Sketches and Procreate Timelapse

Hi everyone, 

Here's another Work In Progress post of a new painting!

I am working on 3 painting concepts currently, the first of which you saw a bit of in my last post, and the third of which I will upload a full post of tomorrow. 

This post is for the 2nd piece, Dust (name tbc). 

This painting is based on this 2018 Inktober drawing :

RIBBONS - Work in Progress - Sketches & Procreate Timelapse

Hello lovely people,

Here is the first of 3 posts, each talking about a new concept I am working on.

I have 3 ideas on the go, each of which is at the final composition stage.  I am to start work on the final sketches for each in the next few days.

This first one is temporarily titled "Ribbons". I will most likely change that title later on but for now, it is the eas...

Sketchbook Dump!

Hi everyone,

I recently started a new sketchbook, and I have been working on a few ideas for paintings, so I thought I would share the pages I have created so far with you. 

I will have a more in depth post about each painting idea in the next few days also. 

The first page is a mess of notes and tiny thumbnails for a couple different ideas. 

I made a list of th...

RAINY DAYS - Patreon-Exclusive Process Timelapse - April 2021

Hi peeps, 

Here is your April Exclusive Timelapse!

You may remember Rainy Days, the small painting I completed last month. This is it's full painting timelapse. 

As always, this timelapse only has music, no voiceover.
However, if you want to know what I used to create it, you can refer to these posts below that list all my supplies in ...

April 2021 Sticker Designs

Hi peeps, 

Here are the Sticker Designs for April!

I am in the process of packaging March and April rewards and am hoping to have them shipped either before the end of the month, or beginning of May. 

I will have some new sketches and concepts to share with you in the next few days also, as well as the exclusive process timelapse video, so I'll speak to yo...

FULL SKETCHBOOK PDF - May 2020 to April 2021

Hello everyone, 

So I very recently finished a sketchbook, and while a few of you will have seen a lot of its pages in sketchbook PDF form the past few months, I thought it would be nice to compile all of them in one nice and chunky PDF so they are all in the same place instead of scattered through lots of old posts. 

This sketchbook took me a little under a year to complete, and it is far from polished or aesthetically pleasing, as I us...

Daily Doodle Diary - 2021 #5

Hi peeps, 

How are you all?

I haven't been super diligent with my Daily Doodle Diary the past few weeks, as I had a few issues pile on top of each other, most annoying of which was a small kidney stone that decided it was its time to shine. That was fun. 

But I have finally managed to pick up the habit again, so here's another batch of Daily Doodles!

My favourites from this lot are April 13 and 15, although I also have a soft...

March 2021 Sticker Designs + mini-prints

Hi peeps, 

Here are the sticker and mini-print designs for March! 

I am nearly caught up on the backlog of Patreon rewards and will be shipping out $20 and $35 in a few days, and $10 and $15 hopefully next week!

Choosing the red sketch for the mini-print reminded me of this concept and I have new ideas for it now, so I am excited to visit it again...

Today is a beaut...

FAQ - PATREON & REWARDS

This post should hopefully answer most of my frequently asked questions, but if it doesn't answer yours, don't hesitate to get in touch and I'll edit the post! <3

✦ PLEDGING

✦ DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE A TIER OR CAN I PLEDGE WHAT I WANT?
You are absolutely welcome to pledge any amount you want, but you won't be associated with a tier, so will receive no physical rewards, even if you are pledging an amount higher than the physical reward tier...

IMPORTANT : Patreon Changes and 2021 Plans

Hello everyone, 

You may have noticed that I have been tinkering with tiers and rewards the past couple of days. I have uploaded some new tier images, changed the tier titles, and modified some of the rewards.
This post is about those changes, how they might affect you, and why I am implementing them.
I also go over some of my projects for 2021 and the exciting things I am ...

Daily Doodle Diary 2021 #4

Hello peeps, 

Here's another batch of Daily Doodles!

The past few weeks have not been my greatest, my mental health isn't all too great, and I am generally struggling to keep up with small daily tasks, so I have missed more days than I wish I had lately. 

But I have tried my best, and sometimes that's all that can be done. That in itself is an energising thought to keep going. 

In this batch, I focused on some quick pose studies of more ...

Hi peeps, 

I'm sorry this took me so long to put together, but here is your Process PDF for Ouroboros!

I hope you will find it insightful and interesting, and as always, don't hesitate to ask me any questions if I forgot to cover anything in the PDF or you have any further inquiries!

I hope you are all well,

Daily Doodles Diary - 2021 #3

Hi everyone, 

I was hoping to have this batch uploaded last week but I was unwell over the week end and didn't manage to draw let alone post, my apologies.
So here are the last few days of Daily Doodles for February as well as a few into March!

2 Small Paintings : Ripples & Lucent

Hello lovely people, 

As promised, here are the other 2 paintings from the 4 I completed this past week. 

Ripples (left) is another take on the body as a fluid object that I explored in "Under the Surface" in my previous post, and Lucent (right) was an exploration of stained glass and lighting.

2 Small Paintings - Under the Surface & Reflection

Hi peeps, 

I finished 4 new small paintings this week and wanted to share the first 2 with you! (the next 2 will be up in a day or two). 

All these little pieces are exploration/study exercises for what will hopefully become bigger paintings at some point. 

The final pieces will likely look very different from these, but this process allows me to iron out some kinks a...

February Stickers + Mini-print designs

Hi peeps, 

Here are the designs for the February stickers and mini-prints!

I'm thinking of doing a repaint of Cherish (the painting used for the blue and red sticker) at some point. I loved that concept and would love to see how it would come out using my current techniques and style. :)
What do you think?

I hope you are all well,
Speak soon,

"Rainy Days" Finished Painting

Hi peeps, 

Here's the finished second small painting!

Here's "Rainy Days". 

I have been using my SketchbookCo Lord of the Rings sketchbook for these, which has thick 300gsm cold press watercolour paper inside, and it is an absolute delight (Autumn, if you ever see this : You're a gem.). 

For those of you not familiar, SketchbookCo creates sketchbooks out of book...

Daily Doodle Diary - 2021 #2

Hi peeps, 

Here's another batch of Daily Doodles for you!
I have been pretty good with it so far, and I definitely feel like the habit is more ingrained in me than it was this time last year. I only missed Sunday 7th, and if I'm going to miss any days, having it be Sunday is probably the best outcome. I try not to put pressure on myself to achieve anything on Sundays. I need at least one day of the week when I don't put expectations on myself. 

This c...

Hollow Owl Painting + Other small WIPs

Hello lovely people, 

Here's a small piece I finished yesterday, Hollow Owl. 

I feel like there are better combinations I could make with those 2 words...Hollowl? Howl? Howllow? XD

Anyway. It's a hollow bird. Because I am infatuated with this concept at the moment, so I'm exploring various combinations and variations of it. I want to work up to creating a ...

Sketchbook PDF - Jan 2021

Hi lovely people, 

Here is your Sketchbook PDF for January!

It consists of 9 slides, including the 3 below.
This batch is chaotic and messy and experimental, and spans November, December, and January. 

I want to apologise for the lack of PDFs the last 2 months. I turned out to be more burnt out than I thought and gathering the energy to sketch was very hard. I hope the Doodle Diary b...

Daily Doodle Diary 2021 - #1

Hello everyone,

Here's your first Daily Doodle Diary batch of 2021! :)

I took a portion of January off from the diary as there was just too much chaos and exhausting things to deal with and my brain felt a little too stretched as it was, but I have managed to pick up the habit again the last few days. And I've been enjoying it thoroughly!

Here's the diary...

Stickers and Postcard Designs - January 2021

Hello lovely people, 

Here are your sticker and postcard designs for January!

These are digital mock-ups as I have ran out of printer ink and am awaiting a delivery of it, but I wanted to post those designs before the month is out so you know what you will be receiving.
I will be sending out all pending sticker and postcard rewards as soon as I get the inks.

Last Daily Doodles of 2020

Hi everyone, 

First of all, thank you for all your kind words on my Youtube issues post yesterday. Your support really helped me with dealing with that horrible situation. 

It is more of less resolved now, although the only good thing about it is that my channel hopefully won't get removed by a third strike, but it has still cost me a lot in the process. I hope to be able to talk more about it in the future, but for now, I'll settle for not having to be ...

Youtube Issues

Hi everyone, 

I am back to work today after a week off and I was hoping to be able to share some more positive content with you, but unfortunately, that will have to wait a few days, as I am dealing with some issues on my Youtube channel. 

A company is claiming I am using their content in a way that infringes on their copyright, and have filed 2 copyright strikes on my channel (on older videos from a couple years ago), despite me contacting them after the first one and o...

Thank you + Holiday Card Downloadable Gift

Hello lovely people, 

Merry Christmas! (A little belated, sorry!)
How did your Christmas go if you celebrate it, and how have the last few days been if you don't?

I started this post at the beginning of last week, and then things got away from me a little and I didn't manage to post it then, so it's a little late, sorry. 

My boyfriend and I had a nice quiet, relaxing Christmas.
I cooked a nice dinner and we went for a short walk at d...
