Hi everyone!
Today was quite stress free when it comes to this painting. I sat on my desk with a certain idea of a portrait in mind, but since it wasn't coming out how I wanted, I just erased it and started again.
The sketch for this digital painting started out pretty spontaneous and I was very much looking forward to playing around...

Hello everyone!!
Here's my take on this month's birthstone: the pearl! There are actually 2 other stones associated with june, the alexandrite and the moonstone. I decided to go with the pearl. Since pearls are one of the symbols of weddings, I decided to paint a bridal-ish character.
If you'd like to see the process, I have the full layered...

Hello guys!
Phew, I finally finished the commission requested by a good friend of mine! It was a fun challenge since I never painted two characters in the same painting. She requested a portrait of them both, as a gift for her friend's birthday, and I tried to paint them in a semi realistic style, which is what my style essentially is....

Hello everyone!
I missed my wednesday post as I'm still trying to finish a commission - so I can have it ready by the end of the week - which makes me realise I need to step up my time management skills :c I try to make 3 pieces a week, but sometimes it feels like 24 hours in a day is just not enough.
For this digital painting, I wanted...

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? Here where I live, all of a sudden, the weather turned into summer time weather and I've been trying to adjust to it. Not too long ago it was still cold and rainy x.x
To start off the week, here's a quick black and white digital portrait I made while still working on a commission. I was a bit in a rush since...

Hi everyone!!
Although this piece isn't entirely as polished as it could've been due to some lack of time (and eagerness to post it), it was still very fun to paint! I missed painting a body instead of just a portrait, for quite some days now, since I love creating outfits - and practicing anatomy is always a plus!
I hope you have an...

Hello everyone! Hope you had an awesome weekend!
This was a little something that I finished over the weekend while still working on a commission. A friend of mine asked me to paint a portrait of her and her friend for her bday which made me very happy! :D
When it comes to this piece, I was actually a bit frustrated during the process....

Hi everyone!
Here's my take on a pirate girl. After 2 years on this digital painting journey, I feel like I finally found my favorite approach to painting. I've been sketching and blocking color in grayscale as my base, and it has been doing wonders on how I can mentally envision how I want my final result to be.
I used to find grayscale...

Hi everyone!
This piece was truly relaxing to work on. The sketch started as a girl with a big scarf, but as I was painting it, for some reason, it looked like she was in the water - so I went with that instead! It's always fun when things take turns we wouldn't think of otherwise. I've also been loving being a bit more dramatic in colors by...

Hi everyone! How was your weekend?
Here's my VERY late birthstone illustration for last month's birthstone: the emerald! For some reason, I had quite some trouble with this one. I spent 5 days on this piece because I was going way too much back and forth with how I should portray this stone. I hope you like it and I'll see you next wednesday...

Hello everyone!
As I haven't finished a digital painting that I could post today, I'll be sharing some few other things I've been doing. Even though digital painting is what I love to do the most, I've always wanted to dwelve a bit more into traditional art, since I also find important to have physical original art material to eventually...
