I’m working on my portfolio before submitting to illustration agencies.
Creative block hit hard so I keep myself busy by writing a new post for my blog.
It will come with custom artwork this time. What a joy to draw something exactly the way I want it and without any pressure

I used to think every sketch had to be pretty from the start. But guess what? Some of my best ideas came from sketches that looked, well... ugly. Very ugly in fact. Those quick, imperfect sketches let me play and explore without much pressure. And there’s something liberating about making them ugly.

My first blog post is live! When I launched my website this summer, I knew I wanted a blog section. It feels nostalgic, like the early 2010s. I’ve had many blogs over the years, but this is the first with a more professional tone. Link in the comments. I would love your feedback!

Building my children’s book portfolio has taught me that illustrations should serve the story, not just be pretty. It's easy to get caught up in making things look nice, but the real challenge is creating scenes that grab attention through the narrative, not just with colors or textures. 1/4

Blending traditional and digital techniques feels like finding the perfect balance. I’m obsessed with using textured brushes on a single layer to create a hand-painted look while keeping the flexibility of digital. Do you prefer traditional, digital, or a mix of both in your art?
