It's the end of November, the first snow has already fallen and the Christmas mood is setting in. So I thought I'd share a few ideas with you on how you can make your own simple cards. 

Sometimes it's important to just go. To simply follow the idea and break the rhythm of everyday life. 

Sometimes it's not about the result, but about having tried it. 

And once again my life is upside down. 
I recently graduated from high school. Now my studies have started. Now I'm a full-time student in attendance. No more self-study and a new place, new people. 

a small creative project, a super DIY gift and a creative break from everyday life. 

About a year ago, I decided to start posting videos on YouTube. I preferred this form of content sharing to the short form content on Instagram. I uploaded fairly regularly, except for the two months since my last video. I needed a break. I needed some time to think about how I wanted to continue this journey. Below I will give you some insights into my insights and the reason for the long break.  

I knew it wouldn't be like this forever. One and a half days of school, self-study and freelance work as an illustrator. 
Now I graduated - and it will never be the same again. 

Last week I had my last exams and finally graduated. 
After all the studying and exams, I was glad to have more time for myself and my own projects again. 

Today it's not about drawing. As you may have already read, I'm still at school. 
Currently I'm in the final exam phase. That's why I've hardly had any time to immerse myself in a creative project over the last few weeks. 
The only time I've been able to draw is during a short break. 

Today I'm sharing a few little study tips that have helped me a lot. It's not necessarily about learning itself, but how you can take good care of yourself to cope with the stress and pressure. 

I had the privilege of leading another workshop in May. The 23 participants were aged between 10 and 13. I gave some tips and tricks on the subject of drawing people. 

As the saying goes? Nothing comes from nothing and practice makes perfect.

You never stop learning as an artist. And that's why it's still essential for me to take the time to practise, regardless of whether I'm working on a commission or not. Sometimes it's much more theoretical and involves a more in-depth examination of anatomy, sometimes it's a bit more fun and relaxed. Depending on which skill I'm focussing on.

As you may have already read in the previous blog post, I officially sold my own designs at a market stall for the first time at the end of April 2024.
