New Youtube Video : PATREON EARLY ACCESS

Hi everyone, 

I just finished editing my next Youtube video, and since it will be another week before it goes live, I figured you might enjoy an early viewing of it!

This video is all about my process painting all the small watercolour paintings I shared with you earlier this month.
It is quite a lengthy video, but I really enjoyed putting it together, so I hope you will enjoy watching it also. 

This video is s...

"OUROBOROS" New Painting!

Hi everyone!

"Ouroboros" is finished!

I painted this piece in acrylics, on a piece of Arches Cold Press watercolour paper, my last of my 638gsm (300lb) pad. 

I will put together a Process PDF of the whole painting process, and I also filmed it all so will have a timelapse up with the PDF. ...

Daily Doodle Diary #13

Hi everyone, 

Here's another batch of my Daily Doodle Diary!

This batch is absolute chaos, hahaha.
I've been up and down in motivation and productivity the last few days, and this batch is a perfect illustration of this. 

Because I have been finding it hard to be inspired lately, I decided the last couple of days to only use pen and work from reference. I find that to be a great exercise to teach my eye to see ...

August Sticker Designs

Hi peeps, 

Here are the designs for the August stickers!

I will be sending all July and August designs for eligible patrons so far this week. 

[Anyone interested in getting those designs in the mail can sign up any time during August and will be charged immediately and qualify for the stickers as soon as the payment is processed successfully.]

Finished Small Paintings

Hi everyone, 

Here are the finished small pieces!

I want to compile them into a video and release it before I leave for our holiday, so I'm going to stop here with them, but I really enjoyed working on them, so I might do another series once I am back.
You may notice that I haven't painted the flower snake and the conker eye yet. I started the conker but I wasn't very well the last couple of days, so had a lot of trouble focusing on it. It's partway done, but since I want...

July Sticker Designs

Hi peeps, 

As promised, here are the July sticker designs! 

I am painting the second August design today and will ship July and August stickers together next week. :) 

I hope you are all well! 

Small Paintings + Medium Painting PROGRESS

Hi everyone, 

So I've spent the last few days working on the small paintings I showed you previously, as well as the medium-sized piece I also mentioned. 

I managed to get all the small sketches inked, and 3 paintings finished, and I am nearly done with the final sketch of the bigger illustration.

14 Sketches for Small Paintings

Hi everyone, 

I've been busy the last few days sketching away all these little pieces!

After finishing Tether, I needed a bit of a break from working on big, intense paintings, so I decided to do a short series of smaller illustrations. 

Most of them are based on some of my existing sketches, whether from old sketchbooks or from my Doodle Diary. 

Not only am I looking forward to some lower pressure painting, but small pieces are very ver...

Daily Doodle Diary #12

Hi everyone,

Here's another batch of Daily Doodles!
This selection is quite colourful, I've been more inspired by pens than pencils lately, so I've indulged that in this diary.  

10, 12 and 18 were from reference, and the rest was spur of the moment from imagination.
14-15 is probably my favourite spread, I felt good about drawing on those days. I also really like 16-17, as both of those drawings make me feel joy.
21 was the ...

"TETHER" Process PDF + Full Timelapse

Hi everyone, 

Here is your Process PDF of "Tether"!

This is probably one of my bulkiest PDFs. It contains over 40 pages and includes all my references, my set-up, step by step photos and more. 

I hope you will enjoy it! It took me 3 full days to put together, so I actually REALLY hope you'll like it, haha. 

You can also find a full timelapse video, with no interruptions, of the piece, from thumbnail to f...

Sketchbook PDF - July 2020

Hi everyone, 

Here is your July Sketchbook PDF!

I didn't do all that much sketching in June as I was working non-stop on "Tether" and my Youtube relaunch video, so I compiled what I did in June as well as these last few days, and a few extra sketches I wasn't sure I had shown you yet from a secondary sketchbook. 

I'm hoping to get more sketching done during July, so hopefully the August PDF will be more bulky. 

I hope you are all well,&n...

"Apple" Real-Time Video

Hi peeps, 

Here's your overdue June Real-Time video, sorry for the delay!

There is no music in this video, as I never know if you prefer it with music or without, and it's tough finding music for 30min of footage, haha. 

I painted this small piece in gouache, and you can check out my "Studio Supplies" posts if y...

Daily Doodle Diary #11

Hi everyone, 

Here's another batch of Doodle Diary pages!

This one is quite eclectic, as I've been really busy so I sometimes either completely forgot to draw my pages, or did it so last minute that it was quite...random.

⇧ The 22nd was my boyfriend's birthday, so I completely forgot to draw until quite late in the evening, and even once I remembered, I didn'...

REEF Process PDF + Timelapse Video

Hi everyone, 

Here is the REEF Process PDF! 

I hope you will enjoy it, and if you have questions at all, do leave them in the comments!

This PDF does not include a list of my supplies for this painting, as I have create a "Studio Supplies" series that details all my favourite supplies in length.

You can find all those posts here :  2020-07-09 16:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

My Paints - Studio Supplies #3

Hi everyone, 

This post is the third in my "Studio Supplies" Series, where I detail all my favourite supplies for different stages of my creative process. 

In this post, I will be talking about all the paints I currently favour and use the most.
This will include my watercolour, gouache, inks and acrylic paints.
I also own oils, but haven't used them enough to justify having them in this list (yet).

My Favourite Brushes - Studio Supplies #2

Hi everyone, 

Since I keep repeating basically the same information in most of my process PDFs and videos, I figured it might be more efficient to simply create a few posts detailing my current favourite supplies.
I use the same basic things for pretty much every piece I do, so this post is going to compile everything I love using and how I use each one.
That way, I can reference these posts in the PDFs and you can refer to them directly if you need any information about my g...

"Tether" T-Shirt Design

Hi peeps, 

How is everyone?

I wanted to share with you a little project I worked on the last couple of days. 

I want to get into creating more designs for products such as apparel, totes, notebooks, that sort of thing, so I spent the last few days attempting to design a T-shirt from my latest painting. 

I do have a R...

Youtube Relaunch Video Early Access

Hi everyone, 

Since I delayed my Youtube relaunch a few extra days because of all the issues I was having editing it, I can give access to it a few days early!

You can watch it above, or you can decide to wait for the proper relaunch and keep on eye on the official video link here (the one in this post is a copy of the official video, listed on the alternative Youtube channel I use to upload Patreon only videos)  :

Daily Doodle Diary #10

Hey everyone, 

Here's another batch of Daily Doodle Diary pages!

I managed to pick up momentum with it again, and so far haven't missed a day, even when it meant drawing something very rough and quick. 

I like how colourful this batch is too, even though the diary paper is quite thin and the colours bleed through easily. I'm not precious about this sketchbook, I want it to feel lived in and be an experience rather than a treasure, so I'm fine with ...

Shop Update and Tiny Sale!

Hi peeps!

Just wanted to let you know that I added a bunch of new prints and stickers to my online store!

I have given a 5% discount code to all the people who signed up for my newsletter, to celebrate my first newsletter email, the shop update, and my Youtube relaunch, so it is only fair I also give you guys the same code : 

Use the code MIDSUMMER for 5% off everything on my store until the 5th of July 12am GMT. <...

New Painting : Tether !

Hi everyone, 

I have finally finished "Tether"!

I am really happy with this one, in a way I haven't been for a while. It might feel quite different to some of my previous work, as it is brighter and somewhat more vibrant, but the theme speaks to me and I thoroughly enjoyed using lighter elements and a bigger value range. 

If you are familiar wit...

June Sticker Designs

Hi peeps, 

Here are the stickers designs for June!

I am very happy with how these turned out, and I like the look of the craft paper background for the beetle. What do you think?

I will be sending stickers for May and June at the end of the month, as well as all postcard rewards. $20 and $35 rewards will take a little longer as I need to finish paint...

"Tether" Painting Progress

Hi peeps, 

I wanted to share the progress of "Tether" with you so far. 

I have been finding the process of painting this piece a lot smoother than I was expecting it to be.
I think that that is in great part thanks to the studies I made of it in Procreate before I started painting. The fact that I have the values and composition all figured out in depth before I even put brush to paper has hugely helped me in streamlining the process...

June 2020 Sketchbook PDF

Hi everyone, 

Here is your Sketchbook PDF for June! 

As I mentioned in my previous post, I didn't do much sketching in the last few weeks, as I have been focusing mostly on the big painting. 

So for this PDF, I compiled the couple of sketches I did do, but also added some scans of an old (2007 I think), very small sketchbook, in which I drew some of my weirder pieces of the time.
I distinctly remember this sketchbook, an...
