Secret Potato Poll 💌

Hi Everyone! 

I have a secret question and need an honest feedback! 😅 

I was contacted by a company that produces special editions of toys in collaboration with artists and influencers. I have the opportunity to create a real Potato Angel! 😍

Each campaign lasts only 21 days and then it disappears forever. You can see their products here. They worked for example...

PROCESS VIDEO: Sketchbook Session - Mixed Media Nature Studies 🌱🍄🌿

Hi Everyone!

It’s a scheduled post because today I decided to rest a little bit. I have so much work lately (6-7 days a week) and so much stress that I decided to escape for a one day trip in the mountains to clear my head 🏔😮‍💨 I want to rest from emails and social media because recently I receive negative feedback almost every day. I started to feel anxiety when I need to check my mailbox 🙄 Of course so many wonderful things are happening as well  but I feel a bit ...

SNEAK PEEK - Mixed Media Nature Studies 🍄🌿

Hi Everyone!

I hope you’re having a pleasant weekend.

Here are some nature studies I painted yesterday. The process is recorded and I’m gonna share it tomorrow. It will be without a voiceover because I’m having super busy month and wouldn’t be able to spend more time on it. Also I’m curious what you think about this form of videos because I’d be able to create more of them (videos with narration take me twice as much time at the moment). Maybe you’d like to see both ...

TIME LAPSE 🎞 - Digital portrait painting based on the quick pencil sketch ✍🏼 (Illustration from my Insta profile pic ✨)

Hi everyone!

I’m gonna be busy now with the video editing [🦊] but I wanted to share with you something that I recently found on my Procreate 🤗 The illustration was made at the time when I didn’t know I can export time lapses from this app so easily 😂🦖

It’s the time lapse of the portrait that is in my profile photo and it’s one of my favorites ✨

I added some notes to the video so you can get a bit more from the whole process.

SNEAK PEEK - Foxxo Studies 🦊🖌🐾

Hi everyone!

How’s your week going? 😊

Here are some pictures of the foxes you have picked for the next video 🎞 They have some disproportions for which fox fans would probably lecture me 😂, but I am just learning anatomy and the movement of animals, so I’ll just focus on having fun for now! 😁🧡🦊

I basically love the one on the right, that jumps but not so sure about the rest 🙃

They’re made with many mixed media because...
