#dtawinter2026 snow dance magic.
Still late, my computer died, I had a mental breakdown, thankfully I'm making these traditionally 🥲
#gouache #study #chamois #magic
Gouache based on a photo by Alexis Winter halter for the draw the alp challenge. Its a chamois (French mountain goat) going down a deep snow slop and looking at us. Behind it there are golden autumn trees. 2 tiny gnome dance on its back sparkling in some magic Zoom on the gnome on the back they're tiny golden being with a snowy white cape.

#dtawinter2026 Day 6 was painting from a Chamois (mountain goat) reference, honestly very difficult since I'm not used to paint animals but also rewarding. I really like the result !

Hey! Here is my very first snowy landscape ever for day1 of #dtawinter2026. It was so difficult to pick up the colors... and the trees were a nightmare...!! Also I did my best not to fall into the trap of adding too many details as I usually do...

Day 1 of Draw the Alps challenge! These trees were certainly a challenge but I finally got them to a point I was happy with! #dtawinter2026 #art
Digital pastel illustration of a snowy mountain landscape. In the foreground is a group of snow-covered fir trees, in the background are the towering peaks of surrounding mountains. Above the group of trees is a halo of glowing stars.

The weather is really nice today, so it felt like the perfect time to take some good pictures of this page I made while traveling back in November. I was trying out my friend’s fountain pen and I love how it turned out!

Spent some time in the sketchbook last week :)

#art #illustration#sketchbook #humanart
A picture of a sketchbook laid on an illustrated book. Scattered around them, there are different colored pencils and markers. Everything is warm toned and reminiscent of fall with bright oranges, yellowish greens, maroon and burnt ochre. The book is open on a spread of a full illustration on the right side and text on the left. On the sketchbook there is a drawing of a tower on the left page, surrounded by a copse of trees, which can be identified as a direct inspiration from the illustration in the book. On the right page of the sketchbook there is a drawing of a windmill, with a little tree to its left. Under the two drawings is another drawing of a branch of ripe mulberries. Close ups of the drawings in the next slides A closeup of the left page with the tower and the mulberries below them. The tower is rendered with tiny lines on top of it suggesting the pattern of wooden beams on it. The trunk of the yellow tree next to it is white, rendered with negative space. A hill in the background also has the suggestion of a road on it, made with negative space. Up close, you can appreciate the texture of the colored pencils and the overlay of media like water based and acrylic markers. A closeup of the left page, with the round windmill with a dark orange roof. The four arms of the windmill are dark red. The ground is colored in splotches of green and yellowish-brown alcohol markers and colored pencil, and a few weeds sprout from it. The tree’s bark is very dark and its foliage green with reddish spots. In the background, clouds are rendered with negative space of cobalt blue colored pencils.

I got my hands on a new set of acrylic markers. I’ve been enjoying using them to draw colorful flowers today. I love the periwinkle shade and really wanted to use it. It pushed me out of my comfort zone. Do we like it ?

Second #artvsartist and I can really see the difference ✨
My style has evolved so much since last year, I'm more into florals and mountains and my colors are more consistent!

I tried something similar to this page in my sketchbook but I went for something more vertical. I'd love to make another one like that on hot pressed paper !
