SNEAK PEEK - Portrait study of Angus Cloud for the new, draw-with-me video 🎞

Hi Everyone!

Happy Wednesday! This afternoon I was able to paint this whole portrait study which is very fast (for me at least 😅). I've wanted to paint Fezco since I watched the second season of Euforia, and as you know, it's not often that I draw men! I’m pretty glad with the effect but most of all I’m glad I’m getting much faster in creating digital art 🦾

At the same t...

SNEAK PEEK - Portrait study based on the reference picked in the last poll 🗳

You know,

Sometimes everything goes wrong in the artistic process... 

No matter how much enthusiasm and inspiration you have at the beginning, or how well you've prepared and planned the entire piece. Everything goes wrong: the other eye looks weird, the paper buckles, pencil breaks, you splash paint, spill coffee, drink paint-water, yell at your poor cat and the whole painting...

UPDATE - Easier Access to my Patreon Content 📌

Hi Everyone!

Happy Monday 😊 I'm back from Bulgaria and ready to work! 

Today I decided to do something that I planned for a long time - organize Patreon content. It's quite difficult to find older posts here, so I organized the thumbnails of videos on my site. I hope it will be much easier for all of us. 

For now I organized the videos but I wanna do the same thin...

Hello November! 🍂 -> Sketchbook Update and Greetings from Bulgaria ☀️

Hi everyone!

Welcome to November 🍂 I hope you’re having a pleasant and calm autumn.

Today I wanted to show you an update of my last sketchbook. I've been trying to draw more from nature lately (Diego that moves all the time) or imagination (simple portraits or just silly doodles) and not use a pencil to sketch, which gives me a lot of satisfaction because I love to learn new t...

SNEAK PEEK - Dustin from Stranger Things fan art 🧢 + Update on my health and work 🤒

Hi Everyone!

I hope you're all doing well 🧡

As many of you know, this month is not the best for me. Not to mention the art block at the beginning of the month, I’m now having some health problems. I had a few unpleasant and exhausting medical tests, and as a result my immunity decreased. For the last few days I was lying with a strong tonsillitis and a fever. Today I felt for t...

DOODLETOBER - Sketchbook Update 🖊

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday 😊 

Today I managed to doodle some ideas for our Doodletober Challenge. I wanted to catch up, so I mixed and matched some prompts. I think it’s a great exercise when you wanna learn to create illustrations. Commissions on illustrations often content various topics that need to be connected and this is a fun way to practice this way of thinking 💭...

Hi everyone 🧡

I hope you are doing well and that October is warm and peaceful for you all 🍂

As you might have noticed, for some time I did not publish typical and regular content here. It’s because I had to push a pause…

It's still very difficult for me to draw. Every time I open the sketchbook, I am reminded of Jung Gi and feel paralyzed. I find it so hard to belie...
