Illustration Friday - Sink

This weeks if topic was sink. I found it a really difficult one, but made the drawing above.
As you can see, the sun is sinking in a wild sea and a little boat is almost sinking!
I'm pretty happy I'm not on that boat, I get very easily seasick, but I like the sea.
Do you like the sea and boats?

Girl with bows

Christmas is getting closer and closer.. I'm really counting the days.
(or actually the nights - 6 nights till christmas!)
I made the girl above last week, I think she looks like a old christmas movie girl with her bows and curly hair.
What do you do with chrismas?
I spend most of it with family :)

Illustration friday - separated

The illustration friday topic is a little sad this time..
This girl got separated from her stuffed rabbit :( (I think her big brother took him!)

Have you already seen my freebie?
You can see the freebie here! :)

Christmas Freebie 1 - Make your own nativity play

As promised the first christmas freebie..

Would you like to replay the nativity story?

That's possible with these little figures!

Download the pdf's here (the figures in the pdf are bigger then pictured above).

You can simply cut them, then put them together and you're ready to play! :)

Have fun! :)

Zoals beloofd een kerst freebie..
Eigenlijk gemaakt voor kindjes bij mij in de buurt..
Zou jij graag het kerstverhaal na spelen?
Dat kan met deze poppetjes!

Na het downloaden, uitprinten kun je ze uitknippen en in elkaar zetten!
En dan ben je klaar om te spelen! :)
Veel plezier ermee! :)

Girl & snail

I did some sketching and made a girl with a snail pet.
She likes to put him on her head.
love!

Hatless Elsie

I've been busy making Elsie look more like how I think she should look..
And now she lost her hat!
I'm not sure she's all done yet, but at least she's looking more like she should..
I think she looks better like this, what do you think?
xo

Elsie

This weekend I made Elsie, I really like her..
She suddenly appeared on my paper and it feels like I've always known her..

But I'm not sure I really like the digital Elsie..She just doesn't seem right.
So I'll be busy with making her look like I think she should..
I have a whole story about her in my head.
Who do you think Elsie should look like.. ?
Maybe green and purple are more her colours..

I've moved

Maybe you didn't noticed anything at all, but I haven't been uploading as much as normal..
I was pretty busy the last couple of weeks with moving..
But i'm all set now and I'll post not 1 but actually 2 freebies this week..
So stay tuned! :)

xo
ps. Do you know Kittypinkstar? She's awesome, you can find her site here.

Celebrate! :)

There have been a lot of new visitors on the blog the past few weeks.
This makes me soooo happy! :)
And I really want to thank you all for visiting (and celebrate a little)
Thank you! I think you're all awesome!!

Adele is beautiful and so talented.

Illustration Friday - Brigade

This week's illustration friday topic was brigade..
Not a easy one if you ask me, but this is my submission.
I did 2 versions, one with a black outline and one without..
Which one do you like more?
xoxo

Little Red Riding Hood

I tried something new..
This little red riding hood (above) has no black outlines, like I normaly always draw.
Do you like this?
Or do you prefer my drawings with black outlines? (below)

Illustration Friday - Round

This illustration friday subject is: Round!
I really would like to make a tour with a air balloon!
Or fly, that would be sooo awesome! :)

Summer city girl

I made this drawing last night.
I totally love the winter, but somehow I really missed the summer.
I like to think she's a city girl sitting in a park in the summer :)

This is the season to be..

I'm really busy making a whole christmas freebie set for all of you! :)
And I'm moving this weekend, so packing stuff has also kept me from posting on the blog this weekend.
I made the little fast drawing above to make it up and to get you in the christmas mood.
xo

Illustration Friday - Vanity

This week the Illustration Friday topic is Vanity and the drawing above is my submission.

When I think about vanity I immediately think about.. Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all?.. (The story of Snow White!)
I hope you recognize the evil queen and of course Snow White her self in the mirror.

More winter fun

Emma & Cat are enjoying the winter!
Is it cold where you are?
Here it's getting colder and colder..Brr
I don't mind.. It's a good excuse for drinking lots and lots of hot choco :)

Love!

Freebie sneak peak

I'm making a christmas freebie for you all!
I'll put it on the blog early december, but here's a sneak peak :)
It's only a sketch, but I hope you like it!

How's your weekend?
xoxo

Stamp

I've been making some stamps lately!
I always thought it was very hard to make one, but it's superduper easy :)
I made this little native american girl shown above.
I also made Emma & Cat stamps, I'll show you soon!
love!

Native American

Some time ago I showed a little doodle and I finally made a real drawing..
Do you like her?
xoxo

Marcel the Shell with shoes on

Do you know Marcel the Shell?

I think he's sooo cute!
And... he has a new video!
But also a new book :)
You can watch the new video below and visit his website.. here!

French Girl

I've been busy with a few new characters.
I would like to make a story with some of them..
This is a french girl, she doesn't have a name yet..
Do you like her?

Illustration Friday

Have you ever heard of Illustration Friday?
It's a website where you can submit drawings that are about a special subject.
This week the subject was silent and I made the doodle above..

Luna

Who is your favorite Harry Potter character?
I can't chose..
If I only new how to get into Hogwarts..

Emma & Cat love snow

Another Emma & Cat drawing!

Christmas Emma & Cat

Christmas is coming closer!
I love christmas.. here in the Netherlands we also celebrate Sinterklaas.
Sinterklaas is a little bit like christmas, we get presents!
Sinterklaas is a man with a white beard and red clothes, but he wears pope-dress-like-clothes, not even kidding haha.
So december is a month full of celebrations.
And to celebrate such a happy month, I'm busy with Emma & Cat extra's.
The drawing above is a sneak peak!

Pocahontas

Hi!
When I was little my favorite movie was Pocahontas (the Disney version)
At one point I even wanted to be Pocahontas..
I'm not sure if I really like the drawing I made of Pocahontas, I might make another one that looks more like the Disney Pocahontas.
Something like the Grumpy drawing maybe, what do you think?
xoxo

Digital drawing

Hey guys,

You probably noticed that I didn't put a digital drawing on the blog for a while..
I have been busy with custom drawings en normal drawings on paper with promarkers (Emma&Cat drawings).
But this weekend I really wanted to make a new digital one, so here it is!
I'm totally hooked again and making a Pocahontas drawing next.
Did you have a nice weekend?

Love!

Emma & cat 2

I already showed you Emma & Cat some time ago.

And since then i made a lot of new Emma & Cat drawings (and stickers and mini zines)

But also a few other characters, I'll introduce them soon.

I've been drawing with promarkers and I'm totally hooked, I just can't stop!

Above is a little Emma & Cat christmas drawing I'm working on.

It's not done yet and I'm making a whole set.

I'm thinking of starting a etsy shop and selling some Emma & Cat stuff.

Would you like that?

love xo

Emma & Cat

I have been sketching little characters for some time now..
And I really like these two, I call them Emma & Cat, although I may rename the cat.
I'm busy making a little storybook with them :)
Thought you may like a little peek..Hope you like them!
xoxo

Indian Girl

Hello!

I've been a little sick, it was suddenly so warm over here..
And I didn't handle it to well.
But I did make a new character, a little indian girl!
I really like her (did you know I wanted to be Pocahontas when I grew up?)
She deserves a story I think, so I'm going to make one for her.
She's ready for a nice little adventure, with I think a cute little rabit :)
The only thing still missing, is her name...

Macroons

This summer I went to Paris..
And I had a wonderful time and ate some macroons (even Ice macroons) :)
The weather is so nice this weekend and it got me thinking about macroons :)
So here's a drawing I made today!

Have a nice weekend!

Love Love Love!

Sunshine!:)

Yesterday was my day off :)
And the weather was so amazing, blue skies with a lot of sunshine!
I just wanted a lazy day, so I didn't do much...
But I did some little drawings in my sketchbook. (above)
Lately I made a lot of drawings that look something like the girls above.
I'm going to scan them and make something in illustrator and photoshop with those. :)
I'll show you when it's finished!

xo!

Sweet Cupcake

This weekends drawing is in a somewhat different style then I normally do..
But I hope you still like it! :)
The weather here is beautiful this weekend, so I'm going to enjoy it!
Have a fun weekend too!

Love xo!

Amy

I find it sad that she's dead.
She could have done so much more.

Monki Business

There is a new store here in Rotterdam, I don't know if you know it..
But it's Monki!
Monki is a Scandinavian brand/store, it's something like H&M but with more of a funky street style.
They sale clothes, bags, shoes and all kinds of other a accessories. 
I bought the stuff above (sorry for the crappy telephone photo!) at Monki yesterday, a cute little pink bag and a neckless with a silver pencil.
And on the pencil is bright young thing engraved, which I really like. :)

You should go to a Monki store near you! (if there is one..) But you can also take a look at the website: http://www.monki.com/

Love xx

I love Diglee

When I was in Paris this summer I found a adorable agenda/calendar/diary whatever you want to call it.

And then I found this awesome book!

Both made by Diglee. I love her, I like her drawings and what happens in her little stories. I can find myself in her drawings and everything she does. She also has a website/blog you absolutely have to go to.
I don't understand everything in the book or at the website, because my french is not that good.
But I'm totally inspired
So what are you waiting for.. go!
