It looks like I’ve recreated the cover of Daisy Jones and The Six! 🌼 The idea was just to make a project to put in my portfolio of illustrated book covers, but should I print this cover to put in my edition of this book? 🤔

I’ve always worked with traditional media.
Lately I’ve been exploring digital painting, and I thought: what if I made a book cover in digital watercolor?
It turned into this cozy fantasy scene. 🍂
What title would you give to this book?

Yesterday, I took a photo of my little tea moment at home. It felt too sweet not to capture... A simple tea moment became the sweetest inspiration for this gouache piece. Flowers, coziness, and quiet mornings. 🫖🌼🤎

Personal project: a hypothetical New Yorker cover inspired by the Golden Hour in NYC. It’s my favorite time of day, yet it often brings a quiet sense of anxiety. Maybe the answer is to pause and take in the beauty of the moment. What does the Golden Hour make you feel?

Another personal project is done! This time, I illustrated a text about the connection between femininity and the wild instinct. I used watercolor and colored pencils to bring delicacy and fluidity to the scene. What do you feel when looking at it? 🍃✨

The good thing about carrying pencils everywhere is that when you’re waiting for your friends to arrive, you can sketch, and time flies 20x faster. 🍄🟫
