A drawing process in Procreate app, no speaking just calm piano music with speed painting. I don't usually record myself drawing, but this time I had a timelapse

Comics, urban sketches, herbal illustrations and a little bit of my experience volunteering at art therapy.
And, I am STILL working on that one comic I’ve been promising to finish for the past 5 months. It is on the way!

It takes 3-4 days on average to finish a single illustration like this, on A4 paper. I've been working on this particular illustration for the past several months, on and off, ofc, because I got burned out at some point. Will finish this manga/comic soon.

Painted this small lantern for myself, as an experiment with stained glass paint. Looks very nice in the darkness, with the candle lit inside.

I was chilling on my sofa, looking at my plants, imagining them as fairies and creatures. Yesterday I finally put my visions on paper :)

Female model sketches from the beginning of this year. It's been a while since I've been to our local #DrinkandDraw
Took a pic of my sketchbook and coloured some sketches in #Procreate
Really like the style and the feeling I could get with these brush strokes

Nr9: Heavy
Heavy is forcing yourself to draw smth that you don't want to create, and would rather draw smth that stems from your heart and blossoms from your soul.
I pushed myself again to go with the crowd instead of listening to myself.

Urban sketching at Vidzeme Market (Riga, Latvia).
First watercolour sketch, then added ink lines.
(Bluesky gives too little text space to tell the story, sad)

Some of my ink pen #drawings from the previous years - #Kaine from #NierReplicant, and a horror-style man-eating #mermaid.
I did these without any pencil sketch. Sometimes I can draw without a pencil sketch, and sometimes I need draw pencil sketches over and over again and nothing looks satisfying.

Urbansketching practice in Cēsis, Latvia.
Sketching in a crowded place actually made me quite anxious and self-conscious, and I feel that it reflects on the result as well.
