I'm working on the last of a 4 piece order. When I have a big order like that I can't show you any new work because the client need to see their portraits first. Good motivation for me to skedaddle and get things done! 😂

This order in the photo kept me busy for about a month. Since these I've overhauled my technique quite a bit, and started using different pencils. Can't wait to show you!

Phew, it's been a really busy week! I haven't gotten to much drawing the weeks, but looking forward to some quiet drawing time over the weekend. This is a watercolor painting I did over the holidays, while watching Dexter, in bed. 😂 Definitely not deep work, but a lot of fun.

The full collection that was exhibited at the Tina Skukan art gallery last year. All six pieces sold! 🤩 I enjoyed the different subjects (not animals 🙊) and having freedom in what I wanted to draw. I purposefully chose a colour palette that I usually don't use (no purple doggos... yet!) to play around with different hues.⠀

Let me know which one is your favourite! ⭐️⠀

I am working on a 4 piece commission, so I don't have any new portraits to show you today (I have to finish the lot and send them off to the client before I can post them), so here is a Toothless (How to Train Your Dragon) inspired kitty.⠀

2021 was the year I exhibited my work professionally, for the very first time. I had a blast (when I wasn't procrastinating, sigh 🙄) working on these. I think it cemented my love for miniatures and I foresee more tiny works in my artistic future.⠀

Competition winner @giulz_m 's pup. Her photo is beautiful! A well-lit, high-quality photo will give you the best portrait. I will often ask clients for a few photos and the suggest the one I think will work best.⠀

When did I create the first portrait? Only in June

When did I create the first portrait? Only in June this year! 😱Before starting this project, I was painting a little aimlessly (nothing wrong with that, but I wanted to apply my craft more consistently). I was itching to dust off my Prismacolor set of 150 (not kidding) pencils. My sister in law asked me to draw this portrait of Tanzanite, her friend's kitty who had just passed away. 😭 This sad event led to something spectacular for me - opening up commissions for the first time.

Since then, I have drawn around 20 portraits. Having an end goal in mind motivates me, so I have since decided to do a 100 portraits (and who knows what I'll do after). 😅

How do you get a portrait? Stay tuned, opening again in 2022!

Playing with some watercolor cats. As much as I love my color pencils, I enjoy doing watercolor now and then too. 🎨

Looking back at 2021, one of a clear highlights was @vos.en.ink 's watercolor workshop where we learnt to paint roses. @christie.l.lane and I had the best time, giggling over struggling with new techniques, glee when the talented Alisa praised our progress. I would love to play around with watercolor more next year. Although still to color pencil this year has been great for improving technique, I miss playing around with other mediums.⠀

Jumping on the bandwagon of #artvsartist2021 #artvartist. 2021 has been the best year for my art so far, and I have a feeling it's only the beginning.

Thank you for your support in 2021, hoping to create more for you in 2022. 🥰

A birthday gift to my dear brother. His fur baby is just about the most lively baby I've ever seen. 😂 Very busy, and incredibly attached to his dad.

Experimenting with new paper soon! I feel like the paper I'm using is too toothy for the small details I like to add. I got a bunch of test papers from @artsavingsclub, going to test them out soon.

Ps. I am looking at my November/December calendar for opening up bookings again. Stay tuned! 💛

A brother and sister from the same litter... And best friends! ♥️

By far the most time-consuming drawing so far, but I think it came out beautifully. Unfortunately, time = quality, not surprising at all! Working on working quicker without losing quality so I can do more orders... 😉

ABD 👉 Always be drawing

I finished all my orders! These orders I recently shared were all booked in June. I think I'll rather open less slots more frequently going forward, so keep an eye on your emails. 😉

For the next month I'll be focusing on a different series for an exhibition, stay tuned!
