Would you be interested in an art vlog that shows all the (boring?) behind-the-scenes of working as an illustrator? Usually, I keep my videos here focused on my sketchbooks or art supply experiments, but really, 90% of my days is just painting and composition sketches and emails. 😅 I thought it might be interesting to share some of those composition and color studies and just chat about life.

Meanwhile: New book interior illustrations! This sketch is for a new piece for "Fangs for Nothing" - the Kickstarter still has 10 days to go and the first stretch goal related to my art has already been unlocked, so I'm excited to paint more! 🥰

The Fire Unicorn prints arrived and I love them! 🔥🦄 Today is the last day to join Patreon for the postcard, larger art print... and both get a little sticker, too. www.patreon.com/c/EvelynePark

In related news: I just got the acceptance email for the Jeju Book Fair! It's a two day event at the end of March, so I'm glad I printed lots of extra unicorn postcards, and will reprint my art zines, too. The short timeline from finding out if one has a booth to the actual event means that I don't plan on making any new zines, though - three weeks including printing is just SO SHORT, right??

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 💚 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! ❤️🦄 새해복 많이 받으세요! I went on a whole journey for this illustration, an homage to The Unicorn in Captivity, but with elements from Minhwa 민화 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 Lúthien and the extended cast of characters populating the scene, and you wouldn't believe how excited I am to start painting! 💙
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 Lúthien 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. 💚 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...) 🌿 Would you like to see a quick painting process video for these? 😊
