I need europeans to take a good look at their own governments and be fckn vigilant.
Our own right-wing parties are watching the US with glee. They're not just silently agreeing. They're saying out loud that they want their very own ICE. The fight against fascism is a universal one!

After a round of feedback, I redrew my first 12 pages and I now starting with new ones. I feel like with these new pages, the feedback is starting to really sink in. Although I think I'm not a 100% there yet, I'm pretty happy with the new pages.

I went to Den Haag this year and made a lot of pictures of the wonderful architecture in the city. I picked details I love and combined them in this illustration of a neighborhood tea-party.

If you’re an artists and you are currently creating by yourself know that, in this current climate, you are actively rebelling, and that I’m proud of you for that 🫂

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC...
Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought.
Share a bit of art, if you can!
Sing your own praises, if you like!

Making art feels impossible for me atm. but then I thought about making Name-Tag-Stickers for my nephews / nieces and suddenly I could draw again. I even had fun designing different crests. Maybe doing something for a specific person does something with my brain?

We're not talking enough about how hard it is, as an illustrator:
to develop an unique voice and style that you get hired for specifically,
but ALSO to understand what the market(s) want and how to make your work fit in there ✨ at the same time ✨ !?

Another exploration.
Since my comic will be in black and white, I need to be more bold with bringing black into the designs.

a fun little social media "tip" i heard a while back and love doing from time to time is to go to a specific account you like and scroll their feed rather than a "for you" or "following" feed!
It's so fun because you get to deep dive in one person's work, AND it feels more intentional!

An attempt to redesign my main-character.
The design is still not vibing with me but I'm also very uncertain about the style. This might be too "realistic" in proportion and in textures.
BUT! I like the wings on her headpiece. Gonna keep them for now! XD

I need to "loosen up" the character-designs for my comic. I want them to be more fun and a bit silly. This is very hard to do for my main cast, so I decided to design some side characters because this might be less pressure. I think I'm in the right track! I like this fella!

Some studies.
On the left, I wanted to simplify stonewall and on the right forest. I find it very hard to get the texture of forest right and not just scribble a huge area of visual noise. QxQ

I got valuable feedback concerning my comic.
Basically I have to rework some things. Some is technical and fairly easy to improve upon but some has to do with my style and goes very much into kind of a "gut feeling territory". aka Not so easy!
