- 4Sharing this to raise awareness 🧡 I made this drawing in my sketchbook in the spring of 2024, based on a reference photo from the @leletny campaign. The pose and hairstyle were clearly my inspiration, but as always, I changed some elements, added my own color interpretation and details. Today I found these Al-generated “photos” on Pinterest - images that were clearly fed by my drawing. What’s unsettling is that now, when someone sees all of these images together online, they might assume that I copied an Al reference - even though it was the other way around. I don’t really have anything particularly groundbreaking to say about this. I just want to share it so it’s clear that people are already using Al to generate and spread such things. It’s disturbing, and makes me feel quite helpless so I guess the only thing I can do is to share it with you. I also have a growing feeling that it will soon become extremely difficult to trust anything we see on the internet. Over time, people may simply lose interest in social media altogether. Even traditional, hand-drawn sketches by artists can now be accused of being “Al-based references” - because why would anyone bother to investigate what came first? Still, I hope that better laws will eventually be introduced to protect artists and copyright more effectively.

- Here’s another late night drawing from my sketchbook — a little mixed media witch, mostly done with alcohol markers and colored pencils. 🌙🧪 I didn’t plan to draw her at 11pm, but you know how it goes… once I start blending colors I just can’t stop. And as you can see, it took way too long — Diego officially lost his patience 🐾 traditional art • alcohol markers • mixed media illustration • sketchbook art • witchy aesthetic • character design #sketchbook #drawing #alcoholmarkers #spookyseason

- some days I wake up with a random idea and just HAVE TO try it immediately! ✏️ this time it was coffee stencils for all the witches and their favorite season ☕✨🍂 made with my xTool F1 laser cutter – it’s so quick and satisfying that I can just let my imagination run wild 🧙🪄 in the video I’m using: • F1 laser cutting machine from @xtoolofficial • xTool Creative Space program • 1 mm mirror paper – final version will be metal so it’s reusable (the F1 works with a wide range of materials — wood, acrylic, metal, leather, paper and more — which makes it super fun to experiment with) 🍂🍁🍃 #xtool #cosyseason #coffee #autumnaesthetic #lasercutter
- it’s funny because it’s true 🙂↕️ my sketchbook usually calls me around 11 pm #sketchbook #Portraitart #drawing #markerart #dailyroutine
- I’m so excited to share with you my latest project created with Derwent Drawing pencils! ☺️ | #ad In partnership with @derwentartofficial 🌿 | The pencils now come in 72 colours — with 48 brand new colours! 🌻 The Drawing pencils are inspired by nature: soft, rich hues that feel perfect for calm, layered drawings. They have a creamy texture that makes blending effortless, and they’re highly lightfast, so the colours stay vibrant over time. ✨ This short video is just a glimpse — I filmed the full Draw-With-Me session for YouTube, where I go from unboxing and swatching all the way to the finished illustration! 🎞️ I hope you enjoy watching the process as much as I enjoyed creating it 🧡 • #DerwentDrawingPencils #DerwentArt #KeepDiscovering #Portraitart

- Since the fluffy cat drawing with @karinmarkers got so much love, I had to try the same thing with a dog 🎨🐾🖌️ There’s something really calming about building fur stroke by stroke — it’s almost like petting it. 💕 I like how the realbrush tips let me switch between tiny lines and softer blends without really planning it.

- Starting to draw in 2019 was a big deal for me. It wasn’t just a hobby — it was the beginning of something I’d been missing: a path that felt truly mine. At the time, I was working in a big company, surrounded by deadlines and structure, but I needed a space where I could just play. Explore. Make things without purpose or permission. That first sketchbook from 2019 will always be one of my favorites — not because the drawings are perfect (they’re very much not lol), but because I felt so much joy just putting anything on the page and exploring my new passion. 📖✨ I drew everything. People. Cats. Scribbles. Bright colors. Weird ideas. My dreams. I wasn’t thinking about an audience, or what “fit the brand”. I just drew what made me curious. And in doing that, I found the direction I still follow today. 🦜 That joy became a compass. I took it with me into every sketchbook that came after — even through difficult days, weeks, or entire months where drawing felt hard or far away. If you’re in a season of doubt, or starting from scratch: this is your sign to just start. Start messy. Start with joy. 💕 You don’t need to prove anything — not to your boss, not to the internet, not even to yourself. You don’t have to show it to anyone if you don’t want to. Or you can show your friends and laugh together at some derpy dog faces. There are no rules. Start small. Start selfishly. Make space for joy 🧡 • #sketchbook #artprogress #dailydrawings #sketchbooking #portraitdrawings
