I haven’t posted any new videos on my YouTube channel in the past three weeks, but I was so happy to see that I’ve passed 200 subscribers! It really means a lot to know that there are people out there who enjoy what I share and want to support me.
Huge thanks to everyone who has supported me! 💚

Almost 200 subscribers💚
Making videos is not easy for me. My critical self always thinks that the video I recorded is not enough, that it lacks real content, and that I'm wasting time.
But seeing each new view, comment, new subscriber, and like makes me happy and makes me think about not giving up💚💚

This was the first illustrated map I made. It was a final project for the Inky Maps course by @mrtomfroese.bsky.social.
I hope to visit these castles in Scotland one day, but in the meantime, I decided to draw this region.

I've never eaten marshmallows around a campfire, but I think it would be a fun thing to do with friends.
I made this illustration for an October challenge called Funky Pumpkin. The theme of this illustration was Halloween Pumpkin Night.

Sketches I did for last week's theme for my Fantasy Art Club. The theme was potions, so I shared the references on a Pinterest board.
If you want to join in the next theme, it's candle handle. You can read the details on how to join in my newsletter. The link is in my bio.

I had fun making this illustration, but I also had difficulty drawing the background, as it was full of elements.

Usually when I create an illustration, it doesn't come to mind ready-made. For example, for Hansel and Gretel's illustration, I went through a few steps before finishing it, such as reference research, sketches, color sketches, line art, and, finally, painting.

Hello✨! It's my first interaction here, so I would like to introduce myself. My name is Charlene, I'm an illustrator, and I love creating cute and whimsical illustrations. I was born and raised in a small town in Brazil and currently live in Berlin.
