Christmas Drawing Challenge

December was full of Christmas Drawing. I created 15 challenges for you and really enjoyed each one! I was blown away by your drawings that you shared in our chat and on social media! And YES, you can still WIN! What I’m talking about find out here :)

Check every challenge in this lovely collection.

However, we started this challenge with a warm-up of winter drawing Snowflake (+ PNG templates + snowflakes Procreate Brush) and …

How to create your own children’s book

I announced news in the Let’s make children’s books tier. In the new year, (besides other chunks from this wonderful field of children’s books) we’ll focus on the entire process: from manuscript to completed book, ready for publishing, step-by-step. Check out more details here! You can also watch a time-lapse of creating one spread in a kid’s book, from blank page to full colored finished illustration :)

Behind the scenes

We looked at the last forgotten pages that make a big difference.

And I shared the full sketches and colored illustrations from a kid’s book I recently finished, with some notes and tips.
