These three were done exploring what I really love to draw and paint. Obviously it's not elaborate architectural backgrounds 🀭 Also: I love my OCs too much. Especially these two, haha.

watercolour illustration of a person sitting on the floor and surrounded by different kind of foliage and leaves and big, floating fish

watercolour illustration of a person sitting on the floor and surrounded by different kind of foliage and leaves and big, floating fish

Portrait of a young blonde man, looking at the viewer with a serious face. Tangeld around him is a being, vaguely resembling a nautilus, but with a long tail, that winds around the neck of the young man just until the bottom of the illustration. In the background and around him are green coral-like structures, and leaves and plants, some of them looking like sea kelp.

A watercolour artwork. In the foreground is a bust illustration of a person with vibrant green-blueish hair, wearing a blue cape of some sort. Their hands are crossed in front of their chest, protectively holding a kind of magic sphere, in which two creatures, resembling fish, are swimming. Next to the head and shoulders of the person in foreground are fresh green leaves in various sizes, partly coming out of their hood. In the background is a much bigger portrait in softer colours of a young man with a serious look on his face. His eyes are green, his hair in a soft sand colour, with a braid on the left side of his face. Surrounding them both is a pair of big, greyish coloured hands and a structure that partly coils around the man in the back. It looks a lot like the body of a snake, with scales and fins that resemble organic structure. In the bottom part of the artwork, two huge olive coloured tassels frame the person in the foreground.

I just realized: it's kind of nice seeing these together, isn't it?

It’s very beautiful. The leaves look so lovely and I love the calm atmosphere. I agree on trying new art material. Always fun and exciting and so good to get the art juices flowing!

Thank you all for 1500 Followers πŸ’™ Especially because my posting routine is like nonexistent and I'm in the middle of an identity search concerning my art ... it makes me happy there are people who enjoy what I'm posting and want to see more. Thank you all! πŸŒΏπŸ’™

I'm glad you like the hands! I reworked them from the original draft so I'm extra happy. For the scarf...maybe we can ask a spirit to dress you up ☺️

I painted this last year. It took me quite a while to decide to post it.

Watercolour painting of a deer fawn coming down from a jump, looking slightly up, on a plain white background. Faint traces of snow can be seen underneath their hooves, and behind them a wave of almost explosive greenery with different forms of plants form a green circle

Watercolour painting of a person with green blueish hair tied in a short ponytail. They wear a T-shirt, their gaze goes to the left, they seem lost in thought. Their left hand is suspended in mid air. The background is dark blue. Painted on top in simple line art are fish, glowing in a neon green hue.

No heart for this because Friday 13th is mean :( Sorry this happened to you! I was just finishing my morning coffee yesterday when the doorbell rang. It was the police, because burglars broke into every single cellar of our apartment building. AGAIN (4th or 5th time)

I think that's the best way to go about it, really. In recent years I've been so much more mindful about resources, not only because I've less money to spend. In the end it's also very satisfiying to use what you have ( at least I think so)

Thank you!!! It's been so long, I can't wear my glasses currently because my nose hurts so much, never had this before πŸ˜† Guess I'm getting old for real!

Fountain Pens are such a rabbit hole, haha! I’ve always been kind of a pen enthusiast, it’s so much fun to try new stuff. I have restricted my buying though, I gotta use what I have first (looking at you my brush and gel pens…)

And the guy of the company supplying her oxygen send us some more comfortable nose mask to try out for free, too. I actually like thinking back to some of the calls I made during that time, because people were often incredibly kind and helpful, really 😭
