TIP // my filming setup
Someone asked for more info about my filming setup for tutorials, so I took some quick snapshots during the filming of my last tutorial and added some notes! I started filming and making video content about a year ago, in preparation for my patreon launch. It’s been quite an adventure! I was hones...
EARLY ACCESS // room
More interior practice! I wanted to capture an empty room. There’s something about a totally white and empty space that fascinates me, and makes me feel soothed and melancholic at the same time.
TUTORIAL // painting & rendering in procreate
Here it is: this month’s tutorial on painting and rendering in Procreate, with new and improved audio quality, and as always, with closed captions! You can watch it in 4K quality if you want - just click the gear button to adjust the resolution. This tutorial picks up where I left off with the pre...
UPDATE // syn studio demo
Hey patrons! Last summer I did a live demo for Syn Studio, and they just uploaded it to youtube for anyone to watch. It runs you through my general workflow and touches on a lot of the topics that I've covered in the tutorials. I figured you guys might enjoy seeing me do a digital sketch from st...
EARLY ACCESS // bathroom interior
Another interior practice speedpaint! Loved painting this one. I have a fascination with retro bathroom designs. There's something weird but beautiful about them!
EARLY ACCESS // cosy interior
This month I’m going to try and speedpaint some interior scenes! I usually avoid painting these because I struggle so much with them, but I'm gonna try to pick up some new skills with these speedpaints. Trying to find that balance between believability and imaginative elements to make it feel ...
UPDATE // it's the last day of November!
Winter is coming and the days are colder and shorter! I'm starting to stay in more and preparing myself for a cosy winter of tea, blankets, and digital painting. Here’s a quick review of how this month went for me:TUTORIAL AUDIOAs I mentioned on my tutorial post, this month I decided to invest...
WIP // rising
Here’s a digital painting that I’m currently working on! I’m very close to getting it done, but these last details are proving to be the most time consuming so it might be a while before I can finally post the finished piece. It’s inspired by old monochrome photographs that have a dream-like...
PROCESS VIDEO // tiny house
Here’s the process video for the first tiny house I painted earlier this month! It’s in real time, and you can speed it up or slow it down using the gear button. This was my reference that I based the drawing on:When I was putting it together, I noticed that the process was so similar to my envi...
STEP BY STEP // snakeskin
Remember the snake piece that I uploaded two months ago? Something I was really proud of was the method I came up with for creating the snake skin texture. I wanted to create a little step-by-step that explains how I did it. It’s very specific to snake skin, but could be applied to anything else w...
PROCESS VIDEO // fashion studies
I was going through all of my process recordings and saw a few that I still wanted to share with you guys! Here is the process video for the fashion studies that I did back in September. Here’s the final result:The process took quite a lot longer than most of my studies: I spent about 3.5 hours in...
EARLY ACCESS // colorful heads
Got back to doodling some face studies and trying some saturated, expressive colors. I really liked creating these, maybe I’ll be making a more detailed painting with colors like this. Hope you like ‘em!
PINNED POST // resource overview
Hey patrons! I’ve been posting content on here for almost a year now, and as a result it’s getting harder to navigate through all of the posts. To make it easier, here’s a pinned post to help you find the most important content - both for new patrons and also those of you who have been around ...
TUTORIAL // environments
Hey lovely patrons! Here it is: my tutorial on environments. In it, I run you though my process for making environment speedpaints, where it’s not so much about accuracy but much more about capturing the feeling and vibe of the original reference photo.The main technique that I use is the lasso to...
EARLY ACCESS // tiny house 3
The third and final tiny house painting! I wanted to make one with a warm sunset vibe to finish the series. Drawing buildings and perspective is something I struggle with a lot and find super intimidating, and making these tiny house drawings are helping me kind of dip my toes into that kind of subj...
EARLY ACCESS // tiny house 2
Another tiny house! I'm finding this very therapeutic for satisfying my desire to travel, and also good to practice drawing settings / buildings in a manageable way. So here's my second tiny house, inspired by a real one but then with details of my own!By the way, right now I'm editing t...
EARLY ACCESS // tiny house
Back to making digital art! I’ve been thinking about tiny houses a lot lately, since this is one of the only covid-proof getaways that I’ve been able to go on this year. I just love the idea of having everything you need in one tiny spot, and being out in nature. So here’s a cosy tiny house sk...
PROCESS VIDEO // river, part 2
Here is part 2 of the real-time process for my river speedpaint from two months ago! You can find part 1 here.As always: It’s real-time, and the total process to make the painting was about 3.5 hours. That's why the process is split into two parts! If you want to watch it at a faster speed, ju...
PROCESS VIDEO // river, part 1
Now that brushtober is over, it's time to get back to digital art and catching up on some of my old process videos. So here it is, at long last: part 1 of the process video for my river speedpaint from two months ago!As always: It’s real-time, and the total process to make the painting was abo...
UPDATE // tomorrow it's November!
Wow, sorry for spaming you guys with posts today! It took a bit longer than expected for me to wrap up editing some of the brushtober videos, but I wanted to get them up before the end of the month. I just finished them and am now running them through handbrake so that I can send out the google driv...
PROCESS VIDEO // ghost girl in gouache
Here's the process video for the gouache painting I posted earlier today! Again, it's sped up to twice the original speed. With gouache, I found I could do a watercolor-style 'underpainting' where I figure out the lighting and values of the painting before detailing it further. Going...
PROCESS VIDEO // blue portrait in acrylic
Here's the process video for the acrylic portrait I painted last week! Here's the final piece:I feel like I finally got the hang of acrylics with this one. The main thing that worked was blocking in the colors with a big chunky brush first, and detailing at the very end! I also worked larger...
BRUSHTOBER // ghost girl
My final brushtober piece, painted in gouache! Process video is coming up in a minute! Happy halloween lovely patrons!!
BRUSHTOBER // gouache paintings
It's the final week of brushtober and so I've been painting in gouache! This is definitely my medium. It can be watered down but also be more opaque and so it has the best of all worlds in my opinion! I think this paint allows me to use the same techniques that I use in my digital art, so I&...
EARLY ACCESS // hibernation
I still had this work-in-progress lying around, so I finally sat down and finished it! Feels like the right time, with the weather getting darker and colder here in the Netherlands. For me the winter is always a tough time and sometimes I wish I could just sleep through the whole thing, haha. This p...
POLL // next month's tutorial

EARLY ACCESS // red characters
Here's some random characters for you guys! Playing around with shapes and some subtle iPad brush effects. The new ability to paint on an effect or color modification is kind of a game changer, especially for adding shading with a higher saturation. Have you guys tried it yet?
PROCESS VIDEO // acrylic portrait
I recorded the process of the acrylic portrait I posted earier today! This one is sped up 2x, you can slow it up or speed it down by clicking on the gear button and adjusting the speed there.Here is the final portrait in case you missed the last post:The process for making this one was rough, I was ...
BRUSHTOBER // acrylic portraits
Some of my brushtober work from this week! So here's the story: my first acrylic drawing completely backfired. I tried to make a painting of clouds catching the sunset light and it just really didn't work out the way I wanted to. Here's a photo:The main thing that was frustrating me here...
