Artist from Bruges. Probably overthinking this bio.
Draws nudes that whisper instead of shout.
Sees the world sideways, but draws it straight.
Precision meets poetry (with occasional sip of caffeine).

She said she'd wait... and she's still waiting.
Turns out, "fashionably late" has no expiration date.

#GouacheArt #BlackAndWhiteMood #FigureStudy #StillWaiting #PresenceInAbsence #MoodyArt #MinimalLinework #ContemplativeVibes #ArtWithSilence #DramaInPaint
A stylized painting in white gouache on a deep black background shows the minimal silhouette of a woman, sitting and leaning slightly back. Her form is reduced to bold, angular brushstrokes that define the contours of her face, torso, and limbs. She appears to be waiting, gazing into the distance with a calm yet unresolved posture. The surrounding space is entirely black, emphasizing her isolation and introspection.

Spring is in the air, and so is this tiny hummingbird—on a mission to sip joy from every blooming moment. Follow the signs, and you might just land at a celebration full of love, laughter, and cake!
#SpringVibes #WatercolorArt #Hummingbird #HandmadeInvitation #FeatherAndFun #Watercolor
A delicate watercolor painting shows a colorful hummingbird in flight, hovering near a gentle curve of bell-shaped flowers and green leaves. The bird is painted in soft blues, yellows, and reds. a rustic wooden signpost stands under a blue sky, with multiple blank arrows pointing in different directions, inviting the viewer to choose a path. Both artworks are light and cheerful, suggesting springtime and celebration.

Drawn in black and white, but she’s clearly trouble in full color. That gaze? Pure inked mischief.

#inkdrawing #crosshatching #tonedpaper #femaleportrait #suggestiveart #penandink #lineart #figurestudy #artwithattitude #flirtylook
A detailed ink drawing of a reclining woman on toned brown paper. The artwork is done with black and white ink, using fine crosshatching and highlights to create volume and texture. The woman lies on her side with one leg bent and her head resting on her hand, gazing directly at the viewer with a confident, flirtatious expression. Her flowing hair and soft contours are rendered with care, and the lighting accentuates the curves of her relaxed pose.

Mood: dramatic lighting and zero eye contact.

#chalkdrawing #figureart #nudeart #blackpaper #whitechalk #lifedrawing #moodyart #contraststudy #minimalistart #artwithattitude
A minimalist drawing of a seated nude figure, turned away from the viewer. The artwork is created using white chalk on black paper, with only highlights defining the shape and form of the body. The contours of the back, legs, and ribcage emerge from the darkness, with soft, expressive strokes that capture the light touching the figure. The absence of detail and background intensifies the sense of introspection and subtle drama.

Six pieces of chalk, countless textures, and one persistent student trying not to smudge everything.
One from the old day's from the academy of Bruges

#artschool #pasteldrawing #texturestudy #stilllifeart #teddybearart #classicaldrawing #mixedmaterials #chalk
A pastel drawing of a still life composition featuring a soft teddy bear, a red violin case, a pair of metallic toy pans, a small toy boat, and a tiny pumpkin. The objects rest on a rich red fabric, contrasting with the warm tones of the bear and the cool blue shades of the metal objects. The drawing showcases a variety of textures, from plush fur to smooth metal and polished wood, created with only six pieces of chalk.

When you’re out of ideas, but you know there’s one somewhere… Maybe it’s not just war he’s digging for.

#Inktober #PoliticalSatire #CartoonArt #InkDrawing #LookingForIdeas #SatiricalArt #HandDrawn #SketchHumor #Puttin
A black-and-white ink drawing of a man in a suit who strongly resembles Vladimir Putin. He has a serious expression, but his index finger is deep in his nose as if he’s searching for something. The background is shaded with ink washes, creating a moody atmosphere. The drawing is done in a loose, expressive style with bold lines and minimal detail.

A still life, we all start somewhere! This was my first piece of art at the academy, armed with nothing but a 9B pencil and sheer determination.

#FirstArt #ThrowbackDrawing #StillLife #GraphiteArt #ShadingPractice #LearningToDraw #ArtAcademy #AcademieVanBrugge #Pencil #noAi #TraditionalArt
A graphite pencil drawing of a still life composition featuring several glass bottles and a fallen clay pot on a wooden surface. The drawing demonstrates intricate shading and reflections, capturing the transparency of the bottles and the texture of the pot. Light and shadow are carefully rendered, giving the objects depth and realism. The artwork is clipped to a board, likely in a classroom or studio setting.

Happily ever after... or so she thought. Turns out, true love doesn’t pay the bills—or shovel the driveway. Welcome to the real fairy tale!

#SnowWhite #FairyTaleReality #HappilyEverAfter #AdultingIsHard #SnowProblem #ModernPrincess #RealLifeFantasy #Comic #noAi
A four-panel comic strip featuring Snow White. The first three panels follow the classic fairy tale: the prince kisses her awake, they embrace, and share a romantic moment. However, the fourth panel takes a humorous turn—Snow White is outside in the snow, shoveling the driveway alone while looking exhausted. A small snowman watches from the background, adding to the irony of her "happily ever after." The art style is reminiscent of classic animation, with clean lines and flat colors.

Messy hair, genius flair.
Drawn with my trusty friend, 9B pencil

#PencilArt #Sketching #PortraitDrawing #ShadesAndLines #CreativeMind #9BPower #GeniusMood #Portrait #Woman #noAi #TraditionalArt
A pencil sketch of a person with wild, untamed hair and a thoughtful expression. The shading is bold and expressive, with dark contrasts around the edges and lighter strokes defining the face. The subject’s eyes appear to gaze off to the side, as if deep in thought. A 9B pencil lies at the bottom of the paper, suggesting the tool used to bring this character to life.

#Inktober2022 #Inktober #CyberpunkArt #InkDrawing #WiredIn #DigitalSoul #SciFiIllustration #InkAndShadows #DystopianBeauty #Disconnected #MindAndMachine #noAi #TraditionalArt
A black-and-white ink drawing portrays a woman’s head and upper body, seemingly fused with technology. Thick cables extend from the top of her skull, disappearing out of the frame. Her face appears cracked and fragmented, as if she were a delicate, damaged android. One arm, also seemingly mechanical, rests on the ground, partially broken. Ink washes create depth, emphasizing the stark contrast between organic and synthetic elements. The artwork conveys a sense of disconnection, as though she is both powered by and imprisoned by the cables tethering her.

When life gets too loud, just mute the world.

#WhiteOnBlack #ChalkArt #MutedThoughts #SilenceIsGolden #DramaticPose #EmotiveArt #MonochromeDrawing #ExpressYourself #Chalk #noAi #TrationalArt
A striking white chalk drawing on black paper depicts a woman with her head tilted slightly backward, eyes closed, and hands firmly pressed against her ears. Her posture conveys both strength and vulnerability, as if she is shutting out the world around her. The interplay of light and shadow accentuates the contours of her face and upper body, giving the artwork a dramatic, almost sculptural feel. The rough chalk strokes add to the emotional intensity of the piece.

Wearing just one item of clothing: the universal sign of either a great night or a very confusing morning.

#InkDrawing #FigureDrawing #MinimalistArt #TraditionalArt #ExpressiveLines #MonochromeArt #PlayfulPose #SurrealMoment #NoAi #Nude
A black-and-white ink drawing of a nude woman wearing only an oversized shirt draped over her arms. She is lying on a bed, her curly hair spread out, with a relaxed and playful expression. Her hands are positioned in an expressive, almost theatrical manner. The linework and shading emphasize the fluidity of the pose, while the empty background keeps the focus on her form and expression.

Created during those moments when creativity sneaks into the office life.

#ArtAtWork #SketchPause #BluePointDoodle #OfficeArt #MinimalistPortrait #WorkplaceCreativity #BallpointArtistry #noAi #traditionalart
A delicate, minimalist portrait sketched in blue ballpoint pen. The image captures a side profile of a face, drawn with soft, overlapping diagonal lines that create depth and texture. The portrait is positioned slightly off-center on a white page, with a blue ballpoint pen resting beside it. The sketch focuses on the eyes, nose, and lips, conveying a contemplative, slightly melancholic expression through the careful, layered linework.R

four self-portraits in gray: proof that my beard has more detail than my life plans.

#SelfPortrait #InkDrawing #MonochromeArt #BeardedArt #ExpressivePortrait #ArtisticJourney #Sketchbook #TimelessStrokes #noAi #traditionalart
A monochrome ink or watercolor portrait of a handsome bearded man wearing glasses. The perspective is slightly tilted, giving the handsome portrait a dynamic feel. His handsome facial expression is calm, with a thoughtful gaze. The shading is done in a loose, expressive style, emphasizing the contours of his handsome face and beard. The background is left mostly blank, drawing attention to the subject’s features and the brushwork. The artist added the word handsome because these are self-portraits.

Patience level: extreme. Thousands of tiny dots later, she’s still sitting there, unbothered. Meanwhile, my hand is questioning all my life choices...

#stippling #pointillism #dotwork #lifedrawing #figurativeart #tonedpaper #penandink #artstudy #blackandwhiteart #traditionalart #noAi
A stippled ink drawing of a seated nude woman on toned paper. The figure is created entirely with tiny black and white dots, giving a soft, textured effect. She sits with her legs folded under her, her back slightly arched, and her head turned to the side. Her hair is tied up in a bun, and the contrast between the black and white ink highlights the contours of her body. Two pens, one black and one white, rest beside the sketchbook on a light-colored surface.

Trying to capture beauty with just pencil and chalk... but she’s sitting there, uninterested...

My most trusted sidekick: a 9B pencil! Together, we bring beautiful women to life... well, on paper at least.

A black-and-white pencil sketch of a woman on white paper. The drawing is loose and expressive, with rough, dark shading and soft lines suggesting her face and hair. Next to the drawing lies a 9B Derwent Graphic pencil, partially sharpened and well-used.

The moon landing wasn’t faked… but something far stranger was discovered.

#ink #moon #moonlanding #USA #noAI #MoonLanding #SpaceMystery #CrescentMoon #SurrealArt #InkDrawing #SciFiIllustration #HiddenTruth #Astronaut #LunarExploration
A black-and-white ink drawing of a narrow, rugged crescent moon. The moon's surface is rough, with craters and uneven edges. At its lowest point, a small astronaut stands next to a planted flag. Nearby, a lunar lander is positioned. Some craters resemble eyes, giving the impression that the moon itself is a living entity, adding an eerie, surreal touch to the scene.

I love drawing on black paper. Where I only draw the one light and leave the rest to the dark.

#woman #nude #traditionalart #noAi #chalk #dark
Your artwork is a striking monochrome drawing on a black background, using white highlights to create a dramatic contrast. It depicts a muscular, contorted human figure in a dynamic pose, with one arm raised and fingers elegantly curved, while the other arm reaches outward. The figure's face is partially obscured by shadows, adding a sense of mystery and emotion. The use of light and shadow emphasizes the depth and texture of the body, giving it a sculptural quality. The composition feels expressive, as if the figure is emerging from darkness or caught in a moment of transformation.

White paper and black ink drops form the shape of a floating woman. After a scan, I reversed the colors. Which one do you prefer?
The image shows a diptych of a floating human figure created using the stippling technique. On the left side, a silhouette appears against a white background made of numerous small black dots. On the right side, the same image is inverted, showing a white dotted figure against a black background. Both images portray a person in a graceful, floating pose with limbs extended.

A solitary figure curls outward like a wounded creature
#pen #ink #nsfw #nude #noAi
This is a sketch of a human figure in a curled, protective pose on tan/brown paper. The drawing shows a person lying on their side with knees drawn up and arms wrapped around themselves in what appears to be a fetal position, with careful line work creating form through cross-hatching. The artist has used white highlights alongside darker areas to create depth and dimension in this intimate portrayal of a vulnerable human form.
