🐢 I'm almost getting emotional, looking at this gouache painting that I finished half a year ago. When putting down the brush, I was a bit disappointed (as usual)... But today – after some cooldown – I'm very happy with what I created. Are you like that too? Do you also need distance to judge your creations in a more optimistic way? 🐢
🐉 The first things I try to get onto the paper as quickly as possible when starting up a new drawing is 1) a sense of movement and 2) balance. Mostly, it all comes quite natural as it's pretty easy to tell when something looks stiff... although I don't claim to be an expert. 👩‍🎨 With this dragon, I had to think a bit harder than usual. "A dragon-like swirl", I thought, "should be piece of cake." It wasn't. But after a bit of a struggle, I finally managed to create those flowing shapes that I was after. 🐉 I hope you like the look of this so far! (Boy, drawing the details on that dragon face feels so... yummy. 😍)
Another space cat illustration for one of my new projects. 🐱 Are you a cat person? 🐱
🐱 Some more shading's been done on this little space kitty. 🚀🐱 I took a while to create the finish I was looking for, but this pretty much matches what I had in mind. 🐱
👑 Moonarchy! 👑 Need I say more...? 🐮
🐱 Here's another space cat sketch for my "Adventures" project. 🐱🚀 To be honest, I find cats to be the most difficult thing to draw in the whole world. I don't know why. It may be a curse or something... 🧙‍♀️
