Life was a willow and it bent right to your wind...🍂🎶🍄

Hi friends! I was so excited when I heard that the recordings of the full Eras show (including TTPD) were coming to Disney plus, since that was the version of the show which I also saw in Amsterdam last year! #tsfanart #theerasfilm #tsevermore

Peonies and some sketches 💐

Hi friends! I really love the thick structure of gouache paint on a painting, but I'm still quite a beginner at it. However, this painting worked out really well and I'm very proud of it!😊

Pitch-Dark Hook the Great 🔥🧸
Hi friends! I don’t really play Honkai Starrail anymore, but I still really like this drawing of Hook I once did 😊 You might recognise it, as I’ve also used it as my profile picture for a while 🧡
Anyways, I hope you’ll like it and I hope you’ll have a nice day☀️ #art #hsr

Durin 🐉
Hi friends! I can’t believe it’s already December, but tomorrow Durin will be released as a playable character in Genshin Impact and as a little good luck ritual I wanted to draw him (and also just because he’s very cute 💜). #Durin #Genshinimpact #art #genshinfanart #Durinfanart

These cloud studies were one of my first times I used Himi goache and I was really struggling with the appliance of layers on top of each other 😅
Eventually I figured out that if I just kept the brush itself a little wet, but added water to the paint instead, that that would work a lot better 🎨 #art

Redwood tree study 🌲

Hi friends! Just a quick marker study for today 😊 I've always loved the way some painters are able to show lighting in their works, and I've always wanted to learn how to do that myself! So I've been doing studies to experiment with it ☀️

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WRIOTHESLEY! 🎉🐺🎂
Hi! This illustratrion of Wriothesley is still one of my favourites I’ve ever made; I was inspired by one of his Serenity teapot voicelines, where he talks about wanting to lie down in the grass 🌿🌾

Cat with cherry trees 🌸🐈

Hi friends! I made this illustration in spring this year after I visited the cherry blossom park in "Het Amsterdamse bos"(literally translated the Amsterdam forest) with my mom. The colours are so satisfying together and I love cats and cherry trees in general💗

Diluc 🔥🦅
Hi! I actually made this drawing a while ago, but I still wanted to add a background.
I really love how easily you can glow add effects digitally 😊 ✨ Anyways, I hope you'll like this drawing and I hope you have a nice day ☀️

Hi friends! Ever since my visit to Musee D'Orsay and Monet's garden in June I've wanted to create something inspired by his waterlilies ✨

The fate of Ophelia ✨

Hi everyone! I'm really enjoying Taylor Swift's newest album and I wanted to make some fanart of the The fate of Ophelia music video 💚 I really like how her head is framed with the hoop so I decided to draw this frame!

Happy birthday Flins!🕯️
Hi everyone! I managed to get Flins with 2 constellations on his banner and I've really been enjoying his play style and his character is just so cool! So obviously I wanted to draw some kind of illustration of him for his birthday, which is today on Halloween 🎃

Animal Crossing fanart ✨
Hi! I had a blast playing #animalcrossingnewhorizons again this summer so I wanted to draw some characters, including my own 😊 #Flick has always been my favourite so I couldn't leave him out 🪲 And since I made this on a night with falling stars, I also included #Celeste 🌟

Vulcano landscape study 🌋

Hi everyone! I usually have a bit of a hard time with landscape illustrations, so I've been making small studies to be able to challenge myself without getting lost in the details and I really like the way this one worked out! 😊

Do you enjoy doing landscape studies?

The rest of the scene looks quite serene with an orange-yellowish sunset over the ocean in the background and some trees in the foreground. This makes the green hues of the mountain stand out even more.

Hi everyone. I've always loved leafy sea dragons and, since I was feeling a bit art blocked at the time I made a study of one ☘️ I really like how it worked out and that's why I want to use limited colour palettes more often 💗
Do you prefer to use a limited colour palette? I'd love to hear your ideas

Hi everyone! I really wanted to draw Kachina ever since she was released since she's the first character I share my birthday with in Genshin, and she's just so cute! 💗😊 Do you share your birthday with a #genshinimpact character?

Hi Blue Sky friends! This is my first post on here so I wanted to share some old art I'm still proud of, which is this Tighnari piece I made last year 🌿 I originally made it as a birthday illustration, so you can spot a little present the Aranara left him on his desk 🎁 I hope you'll like it 💗💗💗
