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, travel sketching on Jeju Island.

The Lennon Tool Bar ink "Huo Jiang" was perfect for this Binyeo drawing!
There's a lot of shimmer in this one, so I used a Kakuno <M> nib for it - it's been in that pen for a couple weeks now (already on my third refill now, as I seem to get used to having a specific ink in a specific pen... anyone else like that or do you switch it up more often?) and there's not been any clogging yet!
I've completed week one of my personal Inktober project and will share those sketches and a looong art vlog to go with them here soon! 💖

A deep-dive into inks and sketchbook paper options! https://youtu.be/ISQoXN26Wbs?si=iYPdn... 💚
Especially happy with the cheapest sketchbook options, those were such a positive surprise for fountain pen inks... and I'm excited to share my ink haul from Seoul, too.

Day 1 🖋️ I had ZERO plans for Inktober/Drawtober/art challenge of your choice, and yet, shortly before midnight on the last day of September, my brain went into overdrive! I'll share some short videos and then maybe a weekly vlog.
Now I have some vague ideas, absolutely no prompts, an overall theme for each week, and an assembly of ink samples to test with daily drawings.
Are you doing some kind of art challenge? I usually avoid daily drawing challenges as they're tricky to keep up with and can become exhausting, but I think this very casual approach and no specific goal (sketches can be detailed or rough) will fit with my October. 😌

So... There are over 35,000 subscribers here! These numbers are just surreal, and if you're among them: Thank you so much! ❤️ It was my birthday a couple days ago, and I'm just so excited to see what the new year brings, the art I get to create and share here, and discovering more exciting art tools! (and yes, I may have gotten more inks as a birthday gift, some from myself... so it's really just an excuse haha)
I'm juuust about finished with a new video for this weekend, an art vlog all about the mixed media in my sketchbooks in August and early September, from watercolors to fountain pens, acrylic markers to Korean traditional paints.
ALSO: It's Chuseok here in South Korea, so I'm celebrating with lots of food (Songpyeon!). 🥰 Happy Chuseok to you, too!

New art 🌿 https://youtu.be/uUImvSX-waA 🏵️ I've got a waterproof ink, some dip pen ASMR, and then a lot of watercolor paint mixing as I try to get more familiar with the green and yellow part of my palette...
Have you tried waterproof inks? I can see so many options now for mixed media with this...!

Finally, it's time for fountain pen sketches! https://youtu.be/Nn-b4wKkCq8 This is a longer, quite chatty and casual video, as I was just filming my first sketches and experiments with these pens over a few days in early August. I had so much fun, though, and felt refreshed and recharged for new art!
If anyone has advice on good fountain pen paper for sketching, I'm all ears. I use a Midori MD as a journal, and it shows the shading properties and shimmer so beautifully, so now I'm tempted to get a blank one to replace my nearly full Talens Art Creation sketchbook. 🤔

I have so many ink sketches to share with you! 💙 The video is nearly finished...
Here, I sketched with the Pilot Kakuno (F) inked with Wearingeul's "Dewy Starlight", a beautiful blue-teal shade with golden shimmer.
When crosshatching with it quite aggressively, it pools into a deep teal (like around the eyes of that Aragorn sketch) on this paper. The gold shimmer adds a touch of warmth and I often find myself just tilting the pages back and forth under the light to see the drawings sparkle...
It's one of my most-used fountain pen inks so far, and the Kakuno F really suits my sketching style!

A look at my sketchbooks lately. ❤️🩶🖤 I'm working on some new book illustrations, but hopefully, I can also finish an art vlog (or three) that I've accumulated wayyy too much sketching footage for. 😆
It's all the fountain pen inks! I can't stop drawing!
