I am making pictures. Living in the Netherlands.

Posting my work here and sometimes my thoughts, too. Boosting things that come up in my feed that I find beautiful […]

Well, I get glimpses of something that I like. The crayons are starting to do interesting things. I’m still very much lost when it comes to the colors though. Anyone working regularly with these has my respect.

I am still trying out concepts and techniques to somehow get a grip on these crayons. It’s funny how I think that these would be better with some more decent proportions! Ha, I guess I have to keep practicing the basics.

Today I’ll post two pages, since I forgot my life drawing sketchbook that day. Would feel disingenuous to toot a page scribbled in just 10 minutes so I’ll post two pages of quick figure sketches.

Jug. Wanted to post a page a day but I didn’t get to do that for a while. I feel dissociated enough again to post my sketches for the moment.

It’s been a while, I had very little energy for social media the past weeks after my exhibition (which went pretty well actually). Will resume posting pages from my sketchbook again as well.

Was going outside into the woods with friends to paint today. They were going to go camping but I said I’d only stay for today since there is a lot for me to do these days. Thankfully, because there was a thunderstorm starting later in the day and I could just […]

Looking forward to the next installment of the avatar animation series. I had a conversation with an avid fan and fellow painter a few weeks back and we promised to paint our favorite avatars. I have a full plate atm so I didn’t get around to it until now. So […]

Still struggling, but I think I am slowly getting a hang of the coloring, at least?

Ik ben super bezig met het oprichten van mijn expositie and zoals altijd ook heel erg nerveus and onrustig. Heb tot nu toe nog nooit mijn spullen geadverteerd hier op Mastodon, zal het nu wel doen. Mijn excuses ervoor, doe het ook niet vaak, zo’n solo […]

Here’s another page. Was inspired by the shapes and lines of @helveticablanc , but found out that my talents and abilities aren’t enough to understand their skills. Oh well.

I’ve started doing figure drawings again after summer break. Trying to wrap my head around oil pastels, it’s a fun medium but still quite unfamiliar. I hope to be able to get some grip with it. I plan to start another reply thread with my […]

Doing another construction attempt. The idea is to push a drawing until it brakes. Cubes/perspective looks good? Slap those bones in! Bones look good? Put on the muscles. It works? Get surface anatomy and […]

Another Page, this one is really quite random I think. No drawing that stands out to me.

I was able to go to portrait painting at #dekaai here in Nijmegen after a while. I’ve been so busy this summer with trying to make a living basically that I couldn’t get as many portrait sessions in as I wanted. Maybe next year.

Ending the Trip to my old school with this cast painting. Well, the casts were locked away, but we’ll make do! :D

Trying to paint reflections when doing alla prima was probably a terrible idea, but overall I like what came out of it.

The model also sat for portretschilderen in the afternoon. I missed one session but could still get four three hour sessions in. I struggled a lot with trying to get an idea and trying to resonate with the painting. I think I was thrown off by the skin tones […]

The fellowship trip for my school’s alumni here is coming to an end and I got to wrap up a longpose that we were painting for five days. pose was super hard and intricate but the model wanted the challenge and did a stellar job! Incredible to see the difference […]
