I recently tried drawing on black paper - it feels like drawing a "negative portrait"

It was totally exciting, because I was only drawing the light, since the shadow was already there.

 

Here are my results: I'm particularly happy with Ian :)

Nature as the source of inspiration

That's why I created three spring-themed drawings! I hope you like them :)

Two ways to draw cute bees

 

You know that it's getting warm when you finally hear the little bees flying around again. I think bees, and especially bumblebees, just look so incredibly cute and fluffy, which also makes them a great motif for a drawing. In this post I'll show you how to draw a bumble bee with watercolours.

You want to draw a bee too? Go watch my video, where I show you how I did it! :)
