Draw this in your style

Every now and then I like to join a #dtiys on Instagram. Draw This In Your Style is an art challenge, where artists draw an already existing artwork in their own style, using their own tools. Also, if you have your own ideas, want to draw the character in a different pose, change colors, you are free to do so. I like this kind of challenge, beacause it helps me to get out of your comfort zone.

Below you see the original artwork bij Nina Clausonet (in pink) and my personal interpretation (in green)

Planet B

I know there is no a planet B, but when I saw the beautiful moss growing outside on my window sill I decided to create one.

Wheel throwing

The process is often frustrating and challenging, but I just love to do this!

Meditation

Sit and breath, so simple, so challenging

Pottery and Eastern

Happy Easter! I had little time to draw this month and I missed it! 🙂

Challenges

I absolutely love to participate in challenges on Instagram. It helps me so much to get out of my comfort zone and work on themes that I would not think of my self. Also having to finish my work in a limited period of time motivates me. During the week of the challenge it is wonderful to discover what other participants post. It is funny to see that someone had the same idea, but expressed it in a completely different way. Often I am blown away by the creativeness and techniques that are used. It motivates me even more to try new materials and think more out of the box. The illustrations in this post were made for Magic Moon Week. The prompts were: Lucid dreams, lunar medicine spellboud forest and moonlit ritual.

Which one is your favourite?

Flexible working space

A lot of people still work from home. But what if you don’t have a space of your own? Maybe this chair can help you out!

I like to make collages, both digital and analog. Combining my own painted elements with (elements from) pictures, see what happens and how they interact. It is a very intuitive process with unexpected results!
