still proud of the shapes and colors of this one! Want to go more in this direction with my style - still tend do draw more realistically.

These stickers are the final project of my drawing class ✨ Learn how to make your own characters like this :)

I want to tell you a little more about the lessons:

1. After some drawing basics we are looking for inspiration in nature and draw a study in our sketchbook

2. We combine these little nature treasures with inspirations from the animal kingdom to create fun character scribbles

3. We think about poses and emotions for our characters

4. I show you my process for digital lineart and coloring in a watercolor look.

5. In the end the illustrations are turned into stickers as a product example. If you don’t have printing equipment at home, I tell you my favorite online manufacturers.

✨ I will give you feedback in the Domestika forums when you post your progress.

Overgrown wood, overgrown cave 🌱 studies from Pinterest photos in my sketchbook 🌿

Tree stumps: the colored one is a study from a photo I took, the other ones are from imagination 🌱

Do you enjoy drawing from reference or imagination more? I think I like the variety in my sketchbook.

Green Empress 🌱 pencil vs more stylized ink + water color

Nature studies of little treasures I found on walks 🌿 I’m trying to make drawing practice and art explorations a habit in the morning. What helped you build a routine?

I tried several shadow styles here with ink and water colors, which one do you prefer? With lines, with color or no shadow at all?
