After working for some years in commercial digital art, I find myself being drawn to walking my own creative path. Exploring all kinds of materials in my sketchbooks.
I've always been fascinated by textures. Whenever one catches my eye, I have to take a photo of it. One of these is bark.
To me, working in my sketchbooks is a totally different way of creating than working digitally. I feel insecure about my abilities, like I forgot how to draw and not knowing my materials. But that's also the exciting part of it. Allowing yourself to be a beginner once more.
For my digital art I already made hand painted textures, which I scanned and used as layers in Photoshop or Procreate for my illustrations.
Making textures allows me to get to know the materials and experiment freely with them.
There will probably be more painting and drawing coming to this blog. Or perhaps I'm going to post on Substack. Not sure yet.
In any case, I made a YouTube short for this post. Like it says, it's really short :)
Artful day to you,
xx
