Oh and, YES!
This Christmas beauty is part of my 2016 PINUP CALENDAR,
let me know if you want one ♥

Nerdy Girl

... Have I ever told you I HATE characters who wear glasses?! (ு⁎ு)྆྆
Maybe I've watched too much anime, but that kind of characters are always boring, way too serious and have the excitement of a rock. Also, glasses usually make me really mad because they tend to ruin a cute character design, and that's a sin to me ( •̀ω•́ )

BUT then one day I made this drawing as part of a commission for stamp sets, and man, I don't know how, I unexpectedly fell in love with this nerdy beauty *o*
The final artwork was in just black line, so I've kept the sketch in the drawer for several months, waiting for a chance to paint it in my own style and make it part of my collection of coloured sketches.

And now that I've finished my calendar and that I have TONS of commissioned work to finish up before Christmas (... pray for me x____x), it has been a perfect excuse to use it as a quick colouring practice to clear up my mind!

... Now I think maybe even I could be happy wearing glasses (⁄ ⁄^⁄ᗨ⁄^⁄ ⁄)

Back to work!

Well, actually I haven't stopped working! :_D

For the last few months I've been working on a big, big project from which I hope to get really great news, but I can't show anything about it yet.

Meanwhile, it's time to get back to all the personal projects I left unfinished, and the very first one of them is... my 2016 "Pin Up Girls" Calendar!

The overall design is planned, but now I must work hard and create 12 completely new illustrations for the calendar, it may sound like a lot of work (and it is) but I couldn't be more motivated about it ♥

I'll be posting the process of all the illustrations and tell you when you can preorder the calendar ;)

I went to my favourite art store and got a new and wonderful sketchbook,
it's small enough to carry with me wherever I go and yet it has a good size to feel comfortable while drawing (the ones I bought lately were too small).

I also got me a super cute pink pencil, now I just want to draw in blue & pink!

Doodling just got a lot more fun! *___*

Happy Birthday, dear Marilyn ♥

1st June is Marilyn Monroe's birthday, she would have turned 89 and become a lovely grandma ♥

In my mind she's always alive, whenever I'm stuck drawing a pin up girl, I ask to myself how would Marilyn look, and inspiration comes right to me! So here's my little tribute to my beloved muse.

I don't know if gentlemen prefer blondes, but sure they all prefer Marilyn xDD

Happy Birthday, sweet Norma Jeane!
