Hello everyone,
Happy Friday! First of all, I came here to thank you for your support, because I'm going on a week-long holiday in the Alps tonight, and without you it wouldn't be possible ๐ฅฐ Thanks to Patreon, I can be financially independent, create art and share my passion with you!
During my absence, I scheduled publication of two posts:

Hi everyone,

It was a beautiful, sunny day here, and also Fat Thursday, so the whole Poland was eating donuts. Such a sweet tradition! I ate only two but huge - one with rose filling and one with coconut ๐ฉ

Hello everyone,
Happy Monday! ๐งก๐
Today I started a portrait in the colors and mood chosen for our Art Challenge. I haven't painted with oil paints for a long time and I thought it was a great opportunity to come back to them.
I used a block for oil paints and paints from Winsor & Newton. I was originally thinking of designing an illustration but oil painting is challenging enough for the moment so I chose a r...

Hi Everyone,
Happy Saturday!
Two days ago I posted a reel on Instagram with an update of my current sketchbook. It was a quick teaser, but these are not all of the drawings I had.
I had to skip some pages so the reel wouldn't be too long and I wanted to show my artworks slowly enough. I have prepared a full version for you now - scanned drawings in PDF format ๐

Hello everyone!
I hope you're all having a pleasant weekend.
Recently, thanks to everyday drawing, I have gained more confidence in recording and I am capturing my process more often. In this way, I have already recorded several processes for real time videos, tutorials and the type of video that I have for you today - "Draw with me session"!
At the same time, my microphone broke down so I recorded the sound directly on the iPhone, I hope it will work good e...

Hi Everyone,
Happy Friday!
Yesterday as part of "daily doodles" I decided to dust off my gouaches. I'm getting more and more comfortable drawing while shooing the process (I'm starting to forget about the camera), so I filmed this painting and still had a lot of fun! I thought it would be good material for the chill "Draw with me"video ๐
Here are some frames from the shooting:

Hi my dear Potato Angels,
Happy Thursday! ๐ง๐ค
Today I wanted to share with you a time lapse video with a process of painting Ellie - the character from The Last of Us. In the video you can see the whole process, from start to finish, as well as the references I used along the way.
Have a wonderful rest of your week! ๐

Today I filmed for you the whole process of painting a portrait study with Karin markers. I wanted to use them mostly as watercolors this time, so I used Arches hot-press paper. It handled Karin markers perfectly!

Hello everyone,
Happy Saturday! ๐งก
Just wanted to let you know that I've selected physical rewards for January.
Since the sketchbook is my main source of inspiration and a safe place to create art, I thought that a print made of one of its pages (in a bit more messy form than usual) would well reflect my art and the diverse media in which I like to create. These sketches were made with Karin Markers and Ink in the Mossery mixed-media sketchbook...

Hello everyone!
I've been drawing on my iPad for the last two days. I wanted to sketch a portrait of Ellie from "The Last of Us" because I really like the game (although I haven't finished it yet) and now the series based on it was released. I wanted to draw this character before I start watching the new production because soon I may be influenced by the actress's performance.
I admit it wasn't easy...
Ellie has very subtle features and I have ...

In the last post and on Discord I asked you about suggestions for a new challenge (and my next artwork). I really liked idea of @jaลka about choosing a one color palette for us all.
I went a step further and created not only color palettes but themes and mood-boards based on them. Here they are:

I hope you're having a good Saturday ๐ Today I have a special "step by step" for you.
In addition to running Patreon and creating courses or content for social media, I also work on commissioned illustrations.

In this post I'll introduce you to my creative process. I h...

I'm still drawing every day as I planned - it's been 12 days already! โญ๏ธ
I realized that for a long time I've been focusing more on documenting, filming, describing, analyzing drawings and sharing them on social media, instead on the essence itself - drawing without disturbing this meditative process.
I decided that I need to focus on my development now to not hold it back by anything else, and share it with others later ๐ค <...

I'm not the type of person to make New Year's resolutions. I am the type of person who decides on improving something almost every day. It's exhausting.
Every day I tell myself that I should do something differently: I should do more yoga, walk instead of driving, go to bed and get up earlier, eat smaller portions because otherwise my stomach hurts and drink more water but not during the meals. ...
