Bubbles 🧼 Original Art

"What moments are unforgettable?"

As a kid, I loved bubbles.

As an adult, they still make me smile. Because they remind me of my mom. She would always try to perfect the formula, trying different soap brands, adding this or another component so that the bubbles would be more resistent and not pop as soon as I touched them.

Goth Outfit Rina πŸ¦‡

And here's the finished piece!

I'll tell you a little secret. As many others, I had my slightly gothic phase when I was a teenager πŸ–€

Although I didn't have any money to get pretty clothes. I mostly just wore simple black Tees and pants, so I guess I don't deserve to be called a "real" goth πŸ˜‚ (even tho most people around me wou...

Okay, I lied, it's not really "real-time", but almost! 🀏 Haha!

I sped it up by 200% so it's 2 times faster than my real drawing speed. It's the only way to turn about 3 hours of footage into a friendlier 1 and a half hour video πŸ˜…

But it's definetly not as fast as my usual speedpaints so I think you'll find this is a nice pace w...

3 Ways to Paint Realistic Transparent Fabric

Surprise, surprise! A new tutorial has arrived!

I mentioned my technique on painting transparencies once, but we were lacking a proper tutorial to show it step by step.

And since this month I've had to paint a few transparent materials for some pieces, I thought it would be a great time to share my technique in more detail.

These were the prizes I drew for the winners of my last DTIYS contest.

They were made about a year ago, but I forgot to share them with you πŸ˜‚

Looking back at them now, I can sense that my color palettes have "dulled" in comparison to the art I drew a couple of years ago. Not that I consider it a bad thing! In the past, I've been t...

The finished chibi I did for Aureliajelli featuring their jellyfish character.

It felt strange drawing a chibi with both eyes closed, (I missed doing all the sparkles around there :'D) but the commissioner thought it looked more in character like this. And honestly, I love the vibe we got in the end. It's so peaceful πŸ’–

The initial plan was to make only the individual prints, but as soon as I started coloring them, I missed doing something with dramatic light and a shiny pink stage.

So I put them all together, threw a couple of layers for the ...
