Art vlogs, draw with me & material review videos 🌿 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, and while mostly painting for clients, I can't wait to go outdoor sketching around Jeju Island, to visit some traditional temples or cute cafes to fill my sketchbook.

art vs artist 2025 - and also: Happy Holidays! 💙⭐ How was your year? These artvsartist templates are always interesting to make: They give me a better idea on how my color palettes look overall, if I ended up painting similar subjects multiple times... and I feel like this year had some interesting developments! Definitely more varied than in 2024.

Keep your eyes open for one (or two!) more videos over the next week, as I have a lot to wrap up. Most importantly, the big sketchbook tour of 2025!

December is just flying by, isn't it? How hectic is it for you all? ❤️ I wanted to share this month's Patreon & Membership print (and stickers!) already, and a little preview of an upcoming watercolor sketchbook session...
I painted a whole bunch of Frankenstein inspired movie studies, and love how this portrait of Mia Goth turned out! So for December, there'll be a large square postcard print, with a tiny scene study on the back. There's also a vinyl sticker included in the regular snail mail rewards, showing my two fae court ladies.

Then, for the higher Patreon tier, there are five stamp shaped stickers! I love how these turned out (and they were very popular at a book fair I attended recently) so I hope you'll like them, too. These stickers have a watercolor paper texture, and I used some of my favorite Jeju landscape sketches from this year. 💗

art vlog to keep you company towards the end of the year ❤️ https://youtu.be/972_iVg_bm8 from SO MUCH sketching to an art book review, book cover illustration reveal, some new art materials (watersoluble pencils are amazing!) and trying out alla prima painting with acrylics...

I just got home from a book fair, and can't wait to sit quietly at my desk, painting, after three days of non-stop fair chaos. :) I hope you have some little pockets of time for your own creative ideas and projects during this hectic time of the year!

Pick your color for the year 2026 🌈
This weekend, there'll be another video to more-or-less wrap up the year - a studio vlog full of sketching, an art book review, a cover illustration reveal, and trying out alla prima painting. BUT it will be pretty late, probably Sunday, as I'm away at a 3 day book fair event. Wish me luck selling Dracula art zines and little stickers. 🥰

A simple painting process video 💙 https://youtu.be/oX2pbnvb90E 💙 This was a book cover illustration for Fusion Fragment, and the sketches being from spring and the actual painting from early summer makes this maybe look a bit dated... but I still really like the result! :)

My new art vlog https://youtu.be/jdll4h-pYT4 with a very chaotic mix of calm autumn day sketches, fireflies, book illustration WIPs, an incredibly OBSESSIVE look at how I plan my days & my favorite notebooks, and an acrylic painting process...

What have you been working on? Is it as chaotic as this art vlog? 😊

A tiny painting for the Bad Apple Artists Collective: Two fae court ladies, gossiping and observing from the shadows... and while the original is available (I can ship small art to the US and EU again!) I'm actually even more excited about the vinyl stickers I made with these! 😊

I turned a whole bunch of my smaller paintings and sketches into stickers as I have a 3 day illustration & book fair coming up soon! Some of them will also show up on Patreon. 👀

NEW VIDEO 🎨✨🍂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuR_6... a deep dive into color palettes, how to break them down or make (strange) mixing charts, and some gouache movie scene paintings...

You can probably hear my voice give up towards the end of the video, as I was still recovering from a cold 😅

Sadly no video this week - too many art events and just enough of a cold to make voice-over recording a pain! :') BUT! I ended up creating another color mixing/swatching 'chart' for the Holbein Irodori gouache set, and I really love how this one turned out! The making-of will be part of the video, so maybe it's good that I'm giving it another week...
