Edit: I'll be streaming an hour later, at 1:00 PM ET, I gotta drop off Mila at a friends house for the convention first:3 

Let's see how it goes!:D

But I thought I'd do a chill drawing and talking stream on there as well! It's public, so other people will be there as well! 

I wanted to use this one to answer any questions you guys may have (about the class, art, life etc)

I'm filming my iPad so I can also demo any mini tutorials and show things you are cu...

Bride of Frankenstein, thoughts?^^

What do you think about this style for the Monster Mania drawings?^^ 

I think I want to play around with light and rendering just a tiny bit and just have fun with cool poses and cute outfits this year:D 

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the stream yesterday! I feel so blessed with this sweet and amazing and also hilarious community<33

Sketches for the next prompts are coming soon! I first wanted to make sure you like the direction before I move on:3 2020-09-21 11:49:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Oh and: yes this is my WIP for *maybe* my first illustratio...

Late night snack shopping + references and speed paint

I hope you like them!^^ 

I dreaded drawing in all the shelves and items lol but it wasn't actually that bad:D 

For Monster Mania I really want to draw a bunch of fashionable monsters and have been doing a bunch of research!

Monstermania Promo WIP

Just felt super inspired to draw these guys hehe! This is not for the challenge yet, just something to promote it more☺️

I‘ve wanted to draw an illustration of one of these convenience store mirror selfies for so long!!

The illustration for the class^^

Hehe I'm happy I can finally share this with you since the class launch is quickly approaching!^^ (Sep 23rd, please keep this secret until then!)

The class not only teaches fundamentals and perspective etc but I also do real life demos on how to use them and the last demo is on a full illustration from start to finish!:3 (this one)

I also wanted to use this post to show you the original sketches/ doodles I make for her in the character designing part of the class as well as all th...

September rewards <3

I played around with different ideas but the sheet and sticker combo is just my fav! I hope you like them too!^^

I'm still not 100% happy with the backside of the card:/ Do you have any input/ ideas?

Goth GFs + this months card<3 +wallpaper

What do you think? Do you like them?^^

I was kinda going for a goth vampire and her pastel goth gf hehe. And for the card I thought it would be cute to do a Tarot card of The Lovers for them!

Should they also be a sticker? I'm excited for your feedback!

I think she's finished?^^ (+speedpaint and references)

I played around with the colors A LOT but I think that's how I want to keep her! (but who knows)

I'm at that point where I can't even tell anymore what looks good and what doesn't haha do you know that feeling?:D

But what do you think?<3

Black Bath WIP | lineart

What do you think so far?^^ 

I'm excited to color her but thought I'd also share the lines beforehand!

Feel free to also use these as a coloring page or coloring practice!<3

The second Vampire babe!^^ + refs, speed paint and file

In the speed paint you can see me first try the original pose I sketched out but then changing my mind because I feel like this one will work better as a sticker^^ What do you think?

I had so much fun with her T_T And I'm loving adding a little perspective to my drawings lately!!

The idea is that she is drinking blood boba hehe since she's a vampire!:D

Edit: I also added the Procreate file for you^^

Outdoor shower (more 101 peeks, meet Lys)

Oh man, I'm just getting over the worst cold I have ever had! I spent yesterday in this weird fever delirium that you are in when you are sick and couldn't even lift my head lol

BUT I am slowly getting better, I'm in that painful cough stage where you are still suffering but can see the light at the end of the tunnel:D 

Here's a drawing I finished up today after finally being able to get up or look at a screen again:D The sketch was made as a demo for my Class101 course where...

I finally packed and shipped all the orders and all your rewards yesterday T_T

Thank you all so much for your support!! I keep recognizing more and more names every month and all of your sweet notes made my day!!<3

Here are some first sketches and tries for the goth girls but I'm still searching for the right style I want for them! The third sketches page is my idea for the print, a black bath hehe 

(and you can also see me trying and messing around with markers on t...

September plans and mood board<3

Hehe yes you are seeing right, I already have something planned for September and its to draw a lot of goth babes and vampires! Lots of black and a little purple here and there to get us in the spooky mood^^

The lost May rewards update<3

Hey guys, so a few posts ago I told you about the few May reward parcels that had gotten lost!:( 

But luckily a lot of them actually came in by now!^^

Who is still missing theirs? 

I reordered all the items and am happy to send the still lost ones out again if you want! I'm sure they could also be coming in any day now haha (post services are crazy these days) but if you feel unsure just let me know and I'll include them in this months parcel!<3

PS: I also...

Sweater + ref <3

It's also promotional artwork for the Bonfire campaign of my Witchy Tattoo Shirts and sweaters!

The rewards are here + shop reopening^^

Aaaah this is my absolute favorite time of the month, when everything comes together!

Here is a look at all of the rewards<3

Music Sky<3 (references + speed paint)

I'm working on a chapter on drawing poses in perspective for my illustration class right now and made this while one of the clips was rendering<3

I'll also be filming the video on drawing sitting poses this week for you, thank you so much for all the questions and recommendations^^

More Nubia^^

I really needed a day of just drawing and watching movies like Pride and Prejudice so that's what I let myself have today:D

And I also really wanted to draw my OC Nubia again!! 

You guys get my sketch, the references I used and also the speedpaint<3 (I didn't actually use all of them closely but just to keep myself in the theme. But you can kinda see which ones I mainly sticked with.)

Arteza Video<3

I'll probably post this in a few days but you guys obviously get to see this first^^

I really tried with the angles and everything here!:3

Arteza Painting<3

I'm still struggling with my traditional skills uwu but I hope you like it!

I also added a sun to the scan because I just can't help myself:D

Here are the rewards!!^^

Everything is ordered and will arrive soon!^^ 

I hope it's okay that there is only one playing card, I just didn't have enough time to do all four T_T

But both the sticker as well as the sticker sheet will be from StickerApp, the bottle one will be transparent and the sheet with effects hehe:3

Arteza video update/ lines <3

Here are the lines I made from the initial sketch:3 (I also included that again for you!)

I'll probably finish the video tomorrow but I thought you might want to also color these in with me, idk<3

Next up you'll get a photo and the scan hehe^^ (if I'm successful haha, and my references of course!)

August postcard<33 full res image + coloring page + references

She's finally done!^^ 

I hope you like her! The idea was to kinda combine all the other elements into one drawing. The original idea was to draw her in bed in her room but I ended up changing the pose of the original sketch to be more interesting (hopefully haha)

I really wanted to make it feel super messy and chaotic, similar to manga artworks I used to love when I was little^^ 

Haha and yes I had to move Mila a little to be able to take a photo of the sketch:DD 2020-08-18 13:51:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Mini 101 update<3

I'm working on a chapter about style for my illustration class right now and wanted to show you what I've made for it while showing how to develop a style/ find your artistic voice!

I'm super proud of all the chapters I have made so far and am so excited to launch the class!!!!

I had so much fun drawing this that I kinda want to experiment with this style more I think haha:D  

I also added the first drawing I did earlier in my usual style for reference:) 

Watercolor illustration WIP/ sketch

I'm testing the Arteza Watercolor Brushpens and that means traditional art video!!

I thought I'd share the sketch with you because I'm super excited for this one! This is the type of illustrations I want to make more of!

And yes there will be booty in the mirror hehe, can you spot it?

Goth Alice DTIYS<3 +all the things

Hehe I reached 100k on Instagram, how crazy is that???

To celebrate I wanted to do a DTIYS that would fit this months theme and I also just really wanted to draw a goth Alice!:D

I've attached the two initial sketches I have made, hopefully I made the right decision, I just thought it would be more fun to draw!^^

You also get the speed paint and Procreate file! Sadly my iPad is too old to keep all the layers:( One day I'll get a newer one and you'll be able to go through all ...
