🌞Shop update on Sunday (31st)!🌞

Just wanted to give you a heads up!^^ 

There will be a shop update this Sunday with all the boho witchy things and I'll also have a big sale on older products! 

I'll activate the shop around 14:00 German time, which is 08:00 AM in New York (UTC-5:00), I hope I got that right lol! 

I'll be at DCC Utrecht and close the shop again around the 12th and can't know what will be left afterwards (especially the boho washi tapes I don't have many of) so make sure you ge...

🦋Wisteria🦋 WIP

Hey! Here's possibly the main piece for the butterfly theme!^^ (I have to see how it turns out lol)

I'll also film a walkthrough for all the steps as the main video this month (talking about getting the idea, thumbnails, sketch, perspective etc until final touches) so let me know if you want me to be especially specific or detailed with any step!^^

Patreon drawing requests!💕 +boxes shipped!

Hey, I hope you had a nice weekend!☺️

We spend the whole time packing and have now shipped nearly all the boxes, yay! Only a few are missing that will go out tomorrow!:) The envelopes are all out too! 

I also need your help with something: I will be having a table at DCC Utrecht on November 20+21st which is super exciting and maybe want to do some fan art to sell there too! 

I now want to ask you guys first if you have any requests of characters you want me to ...

⭐️Everything is finally here!⭐️

Thank you all SO much for your patience!! 🥺💗

The last shipment of products finally came and we will be packing the rewards all weekend to have them go out on Monday!^^

The tracking of the last box with the washi tapes had me sweating every day with delays haha but the FedEx guy finally came two hours ago!🙌🏻

Here are some photos I took for you so you can get a closer look but I'll also edit a TikTok with some clips and plan on making a vlog with more details too!:...

🦋November theme🦋 +updates!

Hey!!☺️ 

I'm excited to show you what I have planned for November! The theme will roughly be "butterfly", I just want to make something pink and blue and cute and pastel^^

One of my main obsessions right now, besides butterflies, are deco stickers and decorating top loaders for photo cards! (my TikTok feed is full of them haha) and I wanted to make my own stickers and a kind of "deco kit" so the plan is to send out a photo card, a top loader card sleeve and also a sheet y...

⭐️October rewards overview⭐️

Here they are!^^ 

This theme was so fun to work on and I'm excited to continue it during Tarotober! 

I'll keep you updated about the rewards being sent out, as I told you before, there were some Chinese holidays that delayed production and shipment but the plan is to have them go out some time between the 15th and 20th!:)

And yes, I made another card! It will be a tarot card with gold foil on the back hehe! And there also is another notebook, same as the coffee one...

🌙📖The Hermit October print📖🌙

Here it is, I hope you like it!^^

I had trouble getting the colors right for a while, I added the original version without the frame too but I felt like it didn't fit the other rewards enough color wise and is just too chaotic in general idk😅 What do you think?

I'll post the reward overview next!

⭐️October print WIP +coloringpage and update⭐️

Hey how are you doing?^^

I wanted to give you guys a little update on what I'm working on and what October will be like! ☺️

As you can probably tell, I have been a little later than usual with the rewards/ finishing the artwork but the shop update had me packing and shipping orders for over a week >_<

But the rewards will be going out a little later than usual anyway since there have been some holidays in China that delayed the production and shipment of some produ...

Reading witch ... sticker? +coloringpage

I worked on her during stream today and now she is finished I think!^^ 

Would you like her as the next sticker? I'm not sure yet but I also might have been looking at her for too long haha

October print thumbnail +speedpaint

Here's my idea/ thumbnail for the main artwork this month!

I want this to look like some sort of library or room to hang out for students of the Academia, how do you call those?:D Community room maybe?

I attached the speed paint for anyone curious how I thumbnail these out, I also use the perspective tool in Procreate and added pictures showing the vanishing points (three point perspective) and the lines I use for guidance!:)

Tarot academia sheet (+all rewards shipped yesterday!^^)

Hey!!^^ How are you all doing? 

We shipped the envelopes last Friday and the boxes went out on Monday! I'm currently also packing and shipping all the orders from my Etsy, thank you so much to all of you who ordered something, you are amazing!<3

Here are my plans for the sticker sheet(s) and washi tape this month! I wanted it to be very similar to the Astronomy Academia theme I did earlier this year but how I would do it today I guess:D What do you think?

The gold fo...

Etsy shop update at 8:00 ET (2PM German time)!!

The time has finally come! I had to wait for the sketchbooks to arrive but they are finally here and I'm so excited!!

You guys know if first and please make sure to use "PATREONCREW" for 15% off if you want to get something!^^

Update: Embroidered patch sample!!

Hehe I'm so excited! Here is the photo I just got from my manufacturer of what the patches will look like!!^^

I can't wait to put one on my denim jacket!! And also can't wait to send them out to you!

I just thought I'd give you an update<3

The Magician first draft + Academia logo patches!!

Here is my first draft for the next card, the Magician!^^ 

I'll probably make tweaks to all of these but wanted to share what I have right now!

Also: I've been obsessed with Academia and College logos recently and especially the embroidered patches on jackets and sweaters! So I thought it would be really fun to make a logo patch for the academia the witches in my cards go to and add the logo to their outfits later too!^^ (and make it possible for you to also join the academia...

🌛October plans and first card draft🌜

This mood board might look familiar to some of you haha, it's the one I made for the first Papernova box in January!🌝

I really want to revisit this theme for October and the Tarotober challenge and added the first draft for what the cards could look like! Let me know what you think!💕

The second card I added is a different kind of aesthetic that I was thinking about for a while:D It's completely different haha but was really fun too!^^ In the end, it was a little too far out ...

Discord chat meetup later today<3

Hey, we haven't done one of these in a while and I miss talking to you!^^

Let's meet in the Discord chat at 9PM German time, which is 3PM ET and in about 5 hours!

We will be playing some games and also just talking, lurking is allowed if you feel shy but no need to worry, everyone is super fun and sweet and it's always a chill time!

For anyone who hasn't joined the Discord yet, the invitation code is: vgAM8Q6 and please know, everyone is welcome, I'd love to meet some of the...

🌞September physical rewards overview🌞

Here they are!^^ 

I needed to confirm something before I could post them here, I got the notepads and they were printed super dark but replacements will be here in time!
I also wanted to wait for the tote bags and cards to arrive and make sure they are printed right since they both are first times for me!^^ And they turned out great btw!! I'm so excited to take nice pictures and show you!!

The way my Patreon is going to work from now on is that the rewards get called by th...

🌛 Tarotober prompt list!! 🌜#witchytarotober

Here we are!! I'm super excited to share this list with you!^^

This is what @aia.naiya and I will be working on during October! I'm so in love with her art and aesthetic and so excited to work on this with together!! 💗

We both have been wanting to do a tarot deck for a while and thought this would be the best timing and opportunity! And this way with the hashtag, we can all work together and share our drawings etc which will be a super fun time!^^
Also: these are standard t...

🌞Boho coloring pages🌞

I got a bunch of requests to upload my boho drawings as coloring pages and here we go!^^

There is a regular jpg and also a transparent png version of each of these, all of them are A4 so you can also print them, yay!

"Emily" +references 2021 vs 2020+ wallpaper!<3

This started out as a completely different idea (more warm tones and red hair lol) but when playing around with the colors it felt like Emily so I decided to draw her!^^

I've been pinning and looking at illustrations with the character being backlit like this and wanted to give it a try, it adds so much contrast!

Pretty much exactly a year ago I drew Emily too and added the older version here to look back on and compare! The biggest difference between them is that I am now making ...

Totebags are ordered!^^

Here's what they will look like!!

To get the design ready for screen printing I needed to vectorize everything T_T 

But I think it was worth it, do you like the design?^^ I'm glad I was able to get them in a color that is so close to the original hehe!

First Oracle card?

Here's my first try for the oracle cards!^^ 

The main idea for the theme is to be "birth" or "rebirth" maybe but it's obviously up for interpretation!

I found a company that can print these with gold foiling, I want to get that effect printed on everything that is gold here hehe! 

I might also change the design up a little (simplify etc) to print on a tote bag for the Papernova box, what do you think?^^

Boho sticker sheet!

I already did a test print and put these in my planner and it's so fun to make little arrangements with the plants and items!^^

The idea is to have some of the items she might keep in her room. I LOVE using tiny furniture and plants as stickers hehe! And I hope you like these too!

I'm thinking about making a washi sticker sheet (washi paper), would you like that? I've never made anything like that and it's tempting!^^ 

The sun yukata illustration will be the sticker for...

Oracle card sketches and Boho Papernova logo^^

Here are some sketches for possible oracle cards!^^ 

I found a German company that can print these as Tarot sized cards with gold foiling!!! I'm so excited hehe! Do you like the compositions/ this kind of style?

I also already started making the logo/ font design for the front of the box and thought I'd share that too! The colors of all of these are picked from my latest orchid witch illustration and I think I want to keep this kind of scheme for the whole month to make every...

❋Orchid witch - Hi I'm back!❋

How are you doing?💗 

I'm back from my break and feeling so relaxed and inspired, thank you so much for sticking with me and letting me to do this!<3

We are continuing with the boho witch theme, next on my list is sketching out some oracle cards to maybe include in the parcels which I'm excited about!!

To get back into the groove I just did a few loose sketches until I felt like something felt right (I attached the sketches and the speed paint of them here in case ...

Boho witch theme? +some sketches and updates!

Hey, how are you doing?^^

I've been taking the past few days/ weeks to relax, take lots of naps and kind of reflect on where I want to go next/ what I want to work on next, also thank you all so much for your sweet words and support, you are amazing!<3

I think I was just moving way too fast for a while in a way and also didn't really have a long term goal or project to feel inspired by! And right before the break I had days where I didn't feel inspired at all!

So I kind o...

July update<3 packing the rewards and taking a break

Hey everyone, I hope you are doing well!

Thank you so much for your support and pledges, I'm currently working on packing up the rewards and will have them go out on Monday the 5th<3

I made this update video for you showing some of the packaging and talking about my plans for the next few months!

You might have heard me talking about this a little on stream etc but I will be taking a break and pausing the charges for August 1st. There will still be posts, I will keep you ...

Decided to finish this one finally!<3 +sketch and color draft

I hope you like how she turned out!^^

For the past few months I've been doing these color drafts (so basically making a rough color sketch with a soft airbrush first) and they have been SO helpful with lighting and making color schemes! Because the airbrush makes the colors blend together, everything looks a lot more harmonious and I love it!

Tip: when making an illustration with colors like this, I don't use actual green for the leaves, this is a desaturated yellow actually! (thi...

Pride GFs coloring page

I'm currently working on a marker review for YouTube and wanted to make a coloring page for it! 

Since it's June, girlfriends with matching outfits seemed to be the perfect thing to draw!^^

And in case you might also want to color them in, I'm adding both a transparent png and a jpg for you to use and have fun hehe!

Wooden stamp in the boxes!!

I just got the confirmation/ placed the order for wooden stamps for the Papernova boxes!!

I'm super excited since I LOVE using stamps myself and it's a product I have never made before/ always wanted to make one day!

Do you use stamps? What do you think?^^
