Art vlogs, draw with me & material review videos ๐ŸŒฟ On a journey to become a better artist...

I'm Evelyne, freelance illustrator for fantasy games and books, and I'm posting my own art practice journey as I try to get better at anything and everything, from portraits to landscapes, charcoal to oil pastels. I also enjoy going very much in-depth in my art material reviews...

Painting mostly in acrylics and watercolors - and nowadays gouache - with the occasional digital sketch and lots of oil pastels.

I'm a Swiss artist living in South Korea, travel sketching on Jeju Island.

FINALLY went through my travel sketching footage! https://youtu.be/SnZ54IMQ9gc?si=_Elu_...
Four days in the very South of South Korea, from Gwangju to Mokpo, with only essential art supplies and ideas to make travel sketching simple and (hopefully!) stress-free ๐Ÿ’š Do you have a favorite page in these two travel sketchbooks?

(and yes, I still dislike the paper of the Art Creation one, BUT it's just so handy for doodles, so I might as well call it a favorite sketchbook now lol)

Happy Lunar New Year! โค๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ ์ƒˆํ•ด๋ณต ๋งŽ์ด ๋ฐ›์œผ์„ธ์š”! I went on a whole journey for this illustration, an homage to The Unicorn in Captivity, but with elements from Minhwa ๋ฏผํ™” and using traditional Korean paints. This was so much fun and I may have a slightly unhinged art vlog for the entirety of the process... :)

This is the February print for Patrons and Members! I'm so happy with how it turned out... www.patreon.com/posts/150979459

There'll be a video this weekend, BUT ALSO: I finally started working on the next Silmarillion inspired illustration! Here, I'm sketching Lรบthien and the extended cast of characters populating the scene, and you wouldn't believe how excited I am to start painting! ๐Ÿ’™
Do you have a favorite story in the Silmarillion, or a character from The Lord of the Rings?

In this illustration, I'll be showing the scene of Lรบthien pleading to Mandos to return Beren to her, and she'll give up her elven immortality. There will be deep shadows and ethereal light, and I hope I can do the idea justice!

I just wanted to say thank you because you're all wonderful - all the well-wishes after I mentioned my insomnia lately are so kind. ๐Ÿ’š I got a full night's sleep and relaxed a bit with more peaceful painting sessions. And when I say 'peaceful', I mean it! Making that extra effort to light a candle, bring out a warm blanket to huddle under, and choosing motifs that let me get lost in them...
Self-care is important, and I hope that no matter where in the world you are and what tough times you're living in (certainly a lot of options going around!), you find those little moments to recharge. Feel yourself hugged!

My insomnia has been terrible lately, but hey, at least there's some art that happened because of it!
Behold, Korean temple sketches (after midnight...) ๐ŸŒฟ Would you like to see a quick painting process video for these? ๐Ÿ˜Š

How are we already in mid-January? I hope you've been well โค๏ธ I'd posted my art plans and goals for the year here https://youtu.be/7iGhbjDATck and so far, I feel like I'm sticking to the most important one: Book illustration!

I'm working on multiple book art commissions (two are right now on my easel, but more to come!) and also FINALLY on Luthien in the Halls of Mandos, for my own portfolio (and happiness).

I'll be sharing a lot of the process over on Patreon first, and of course also here! Which of these three - the Halls of Mandos illustration, the endpaper illustration in a warm color palette, and the character illustration in a teal-blue palette - would you like to see a painting process video for first? ๐Ÿฅฐ
