I’ve been trying to figure out how I can translate my soft digital style into a risograph by separating all the color channels. I have not printed them yet, so I have no idea if they’ll work! I still need to pick the final colors! Which color combo do you like most?

Some soft pose studies. I just love smudging stuff.

I’m a character artist. I’m used to painting skin and hair and clothes... soft textures, basically. I found out the hard way that this approach does not work for rocks. Unless you want them to look like weirdly shiny flesh blobs instead 🤔

Remember when it was winter? It feels like a million years ago now. We had a lot of snow here in the Netherlands which was a rare experience. Here’s some paintings inspired by that special time ❄️ Done in Procreate!

I’m not sure, but I think that tree might be haunted 👀

Fabric folds are so hard. At least for me. The more detail I add the more they start to look like frosting on a cake. Crispness does not come naturally to me. But I try!!

My second favorite thing to draw 🌳

Continuing my colored pencil adventures. The most satisfying part is adding the bright yellow. The glow it gives 🤌

A gift for @itsthebeanie.bsky.social, one of my incredible discord moderators! They requested something with critters and something spaced themed, so it naturally followed that I had to draw space raccoons ✨

Why is it so hard to find good pose reference to convey tension? Good thing I've got my own extensive experience to draw from 🥲

I made a tutorial about the digital tools I use during my drawing process! Things like clipping masks, the lasso tool, adjustment layers, and more ~ www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

After lying around untouched for over 20 years, I finally tried out my ancient set of colored pencils. And now I’m wondering why I didn’t use them for so long - I love drawing with these!

Dynamic poses 🏃‍➡️

That feeling when you're going through it 💧

As a person with acne, this helps my self-image: studying the faces of people who have it, and realizing they are still beautiful even though their skin has imperfections.

Every year, we do a secret santa event in my discord server. This year, I was asked to draw a Christmas ghost for Frederik Gheysen, one of my long time patrons ❄️

artists! the social media landscape has changed so much in the past years. what are you doing to promote your art / get visibility? what's working / not working for you?

My #artvsartist for this year! I loved working with bright colors, glowing lights and swoopy shapes. The smudge tool had a chokehold on me and completely changed my rendering process. I wish I’d had more time for my art, but I still think I churned out some decent pieces. How was this year for you?

Painting over my sketches in Procreate to create colorful heads - my favorite thing to draw, so I do it over and over again.

A little ode to last month! I associate October with many round things: pumpkins, acorns, apples, but also my cats, who become extremely round and fluffy as their fur thickens. Here’s my little ode to the roundest month of the year 🟠
