2019 & 2025. What do you think?
A Comparison of two watercolour illustrations: Left: watercolour illustration of a boy wearing a blue hoodie with a green bowl cut. In his hand he’s holding a coffee to go cup with a straw, the lid popping open and the drink spilling out around him, forming two fishes, one looking at him. Right - the redraw - watercolour illustration of a boy wearing a blue hoodie with a green bowl cut. In his hand he’s holding a coffee to go cup with a straw, the lid popping open and the drink spilling out around him, forming two several fishes, one looking at him, one resting in his hand. Swimming in the drink are some objects that look suspiciously similar to the eyes of the fishes.

Was searching for something else when I found this scan of an old sketchbook page with a photo study. Still like this a lot.
#art #sketch
A sketchbook page with a drawing of a young man, sitting next to a tree, wearing a jacket and a hoodie, big sneakers. Next to him is a strange looking, flying creature. On the page there are also drawings of a leg, a portrait of a young man and a one-eyed creature done in pencil.

Congratulations and thank you for the art share! 🌿 I love watercolours, but I explore digital as well sometimes. I mainly paint OCs, (my) cats and all kinds of nature, cute and whimsical, sometimes creepy stuff. 👻 Sometimes I do fanart, too.
A watercolour night scene painting of the cat bus from ghiblis totoro. A big cat on multiple legs, whose upper body part looks like a bus, standing on a tree top, the eyes like headlights. Behind it the bright full moon. watercolour illustration of a person sitting on the floor and surrounded by different kind of foliage and leaves and big, floating fish Two young people in a kind of embrace. The shorter one, with short dark blue-green hair, a sad look on their face, puts their head on the shoulder of the taller man, their hand loosely grasping his t-shirt. The taller man is also short-haired, blond and has a serious look on his face. One of his hands rests on the head of his partner, the other on his arm. Both are wearing light blue-grey t-shirts. Behind them, and encircling them with their big tails, are two giant fish skeletons. The background is a dark blue-green, almost black, with some lighter water structures in the top part. The painting is done digitally with some brush strokes with visible texture. A watercolour artwork. In the foreground is a bust illustration of a person with vibrant green-blueish hair, wearing a blue cape of some sort. Their hands are crossed in front of their chest, protectively holding a kind of magic sphere, in which two creatures, resembling fish, are swimming. Next to the head and shoulders of the person in foreground are fresh green leaves in various sizes, partly coming out of their hood. In the background is a much bigger portrait in softer colours of a young man with a serious look on his face. His eyes are green, his hair in a soft sand colour, with a braid on the left side of his face. Surrounding them both is a pair of big, greyish coloured hands and a structure that partly coils around the man in the back. It looks a lot like the body of a snake, with scales and fins that resemble organic structure. In the bottom part of the artwork, two huge olive coloured tassels frame the person in the foreground.

Sneak peek! 👀 #watercolour #traditonalart #art
detail of a watercolour illustration. There's a hand with painted fingernails of a figure probably wearing a hoodie. On the hand there's a fish looking creature, as well as on the right upper corner, where you can see the head of another fish peaking into the picture.

I don't know if I will draw something better and more important this year. Probably not 🤭 #art #catart #drawing
Digital comic panel in dark pencil lines with some digital watercolour shading. An open sketchbook, and a hand that is drawing some lines with a pencil on the right site. On the left side, you see a kinda goofy looking drawing of a cat with a bowtie. Behind the sketchbook, a black cat peeks over the edge of the sketchbook curiously.

Want to share this work from 2019 which I still like, especially the colours! I have few progress photos of this up on my Patroen and just made it public, if anyone is interested:

Hey artists, quote with your woman art 🦋
Sketch of a woman with long and very voluminous hair, her gaze is turned downward, her full lips show a slight smile. She's wearing a tight dress with a broad, ornamented belt, and below a scarf with fringes around her hip. Around her neck she wears a choker with charms attached, and a long necklace, from her ears dangle big earrings. There's a cape with fur attached around her shoulders, and her right hand plays with a strand of her hair.

I finally finished the sketch for another bigger painting. Took me only... like 6 months? Now on to the next 6 months it will take me to finish the one painting I manage to do per year 🥲
Photo of two sheets of paper with sketches on them, one has soft pencil lines, the other bold, black lines

I love weird fish, I really do 🐟
#mermay #sketchbook #art #traditionalart
A sketchbook page with drawings in yellow, blue and green of interesting and weird fish. There's the flowerhorn cichlid, a fish with a big bulb on his head, the longnose butterflyfish which has a really long snout, the hairy frogfish who has fins that look like little paws and like he walks on the seabed, and last but not least: the red-lipped batfish, which kind of has a long horn looking like a nose and very prominent lips.

I think that's the best and most accurate selfie I've ever drawn. Already from a while ago.
grey and white digital sketch of a person holding their head in their hands, looking miserable. A big "SIGH" is written next to them along with a little air cloud. Below them, in capital letters, you can read "MOOD", and under the two "o" there's a little line, making them look like two eyes with an unhapp mouth.

Digging through my files to post something for #mermay 🐟 Still love this little fellow here. Brush pen + Markers🌿
#art #traditionalart
Traditional illustration of a small mermaid clinging to a bone, their tail wrapped around it. Their skin is dark grey, their eyes big, round and white, a big grin shows their pointy white teeth. The hair is a bit curly and coloured in a mix of mint and olive, and so is their fishtail and their fins.

Watercolour of a long haired person standing in front of a field of clouds with a bouqet of green, illuminated leaves in front of their chest. Potrait of a boy with black hair and a serious gaze, surrounded and emerging from big broccoli parts.

Just two sketchbook pages from early April. Currently I'm having a lot of fun drawing with this special coloured pencil and brush pens. It's my OCs Mil and Ort (I was thinking of some outfits back then...) #caro.art #sketchbook #oc
You all said you want to see sketches so here they are!
Sketchbook page done in colour-changing coloured pencil and a light blue and dark blue brushpen. It's a full body portrait of a person with short, fluffy hair in a kind of bowlcut, wearing a very loose shirt and wide overalls. Their hands are in their pockets, eyes closed, a cute smile on their lips. Behind them a cute cat is walking past, looking in the direction of the viewer. Page with four little sketches, done in coloured pencil and blue, yellowish and grey brushpen. One is a portrait of a short haired men with a serious look, one is a study of a wide jacket with a lot of pockets, the other one is a very little figure testing out a jacket and pants combination, the last one is a medium sketch of a man with a buzzcat and a serious face, wearing a kind of futuristic looking jacket.

Seven years ago today, I got a very special delivery to my flat. Seven years with my gremlins already, and words are not enough to put into words what they mean to me. Every day, I'm grateful for having them in my life and I hope we will have many, many years more together 💙
sketch of a person with short hairing, wearing a hoodie and sneakers and simple pants, sitting with their legs apart. They hug two black cats with white patches on their chests who sit between their legs. Next to them is a heart and a speech bubble that says "7 years"

So I caught some really nasty bug and had to spend almost an entire week in bed because I was feeling that sick and weak. 🤒 I'm finally, slowly feeling better, but now drawing feels even more rusty....the frustration is real! On top of everything, my boy Chico also had a fever so we spent
Photograph of two cats on a bed, the one in the foreground, Chai, black with white patch on their chest, looks into the camera and doesn't look very amused. In the background, there's the second black cat, Chico, obviously just preparing their bed by kneading the blanket, and looking towards the cat in the front.

Another watercolour done in December just to paint a little. I'm currently in my bones era 🦴

#watercolour #caro.art
Watercolour illustration of a lady with dark skin, seen from the side, sitting in a kind of meditation pose. Her gaze goes forward, her lips show a smile. Her slight curly light blue hair falls on her shoulds. She wears a white shirt with dark blue decoarion on collar and the sleeves and plue pants. Back to back to her is a ribcage, just bones, with some parts of the spine attached. Some blue-green leaves rank around the bones.

Another small comfortzone watercolour doodle I did in December, just to play around with my watercolours a bit 🐟🌿 I love this green-grey hue...

Small watercolour illustration of a person with long, green-greyish hair and light blue eyes. In front of them is a fish in the same colour scheme, green-grey body and light blue fins and eyes. Their hand is in front of them, maybe they're clutching something in them.

QRT wit your sketch and final ✨🌿

I sketched directly on the watercolour paper, which is always a great risk, and I really don't know why I keep doing it. I guess I like the thrill 🤪
Pencil sketch of the beloved Characters of the animated series Over the garden Wall. In the foreground is Wirt, holding a lantern, next to him is Greg, in his arm the frog, he's showing the rock-fact rock to Wirt. Beatrice is fluttering next to Wirt. Behind the two brothers we can see Enoch, the pumpkin ghost, dancing, with a cat peeking out from his head. In the far back, the silhouette of the beast looms over them. A handpainted watercolor Fanart of the animates series "Over the garden wall" In the foreground, there's Wirt, a young boy with brown hair, wearing a dark blue mage's cape and a red hennin like hat. He's holding a lantern, a slightly stressed look on his face. Next to him is Greg, a smaller brown haired boy wearing a reversed teapot for a hat and a light green bib. With one hand, he's holding a rock with a painted face in Wirt's direction, smiling, and in the other hand he's holding a huge dark and light green frog, who's wearing a smile too. Next to Wirt we can see a little blue and pinkish bird fluttering, looking over sceptical to the boys. Looming behind them is a scary looking pumpkin ghost bearing his teeth. From the top of his head, a black cat peeks out. His body are light and dark green ribbons, floating behind Wirt and Greg. In the background we can see the silhouette of the beast, a figure with antler-like branches on their head, painted in dark, blotchy watercolours.

I think I never posted this here (it's already older), but every time I see it, I think: that came out nicely... Shin from Dorohedoro!
Watercolour illustration of a person wearing a dark grey suit, necktie and a strange red mask covering their whole head, which looks a bit similar to the structure of a human heart. Their left fist is high up in the air, ready to strike. There's a little bit of blood on the knuckles and flying through the air.
