January Doodle Challenge

Happy New Yeeear!
I'm joining the drawing challenge #doodletimewithkaroline (by Karoline Pietrowski) on instagram.
Today's topic was cinderella! I was inspired by the 2015 movie.
My goal for 2018 is to get better at digital illustration, so I'm trying to practise that more often :)

My Inktober drawings 2017

Yes I know, it is almost the end of november, but I still wanted to share some of my inktober drawings for this year. I didn't do 31 drawings, but I managed to do a lot more than last year! The best things I learned from doing inktober:

• How to come up with ideas for prompts (I mostly used a list by German illustrator Karoline Pietrowski, find it under the hashtag #inktobertimewithkaroline
• I used a mix of digital and traditional drawing tools, and while doing inktober, I think I improved a lot in digital drawing (especially doing the outlines - which is the whole purpose of inktober, yay) and figured out what brushes I like most in combination, so I somehow developed my drawing style :) or at least I found a way to do a "simple drawing style" in photoshop
• By posting very regularly to instagram, which I normally don't do, I gained some new followers (hello there and welcome! :) ) and also learned how important it is to post regularly..I will try to do so more often!

Here are some of my favourites:

These three little witches are my favourite. And this drawing even got shared by Tumblr! :O

Materials used: Pentel brush pen, grey Touch and Copic Ciao Markers for the traditional drawings; Photoshop for the digital drawings.

Gouache!

And after watercolor, I'm trying out gouache now, I bought a starter set from Winsor & Newton..still have to figure out how to use them "correctly", but so far, I'm liking it!

A new digital sketch, I'm working on a 13'' cintiq now!! It makes my (drawing) life so much easier.

Batman Girl Illustration

New illustration! I usually have a hard time choosing colors, but I was happy with the ones in this illustration quite early on. Just couldn't decide at first about the hair color..
I'm also trying to work more an more with shadows. Still have a lot to learn.

Here is my little batgirl ;)
