Two years of practice really do make a difference! I revisited a portrait I originally made in 2023 of Brent Spiner as Data (yes, again 😄) to see how far I’ve come. Swipe to see the evolution: Black pencils (2025) - Ecoline markers (2023) - graphite version (2023) – where it all started.

So here’s a little story 🎨💛

As most of you know, I’ve always been a big fan of Data 🤖✨ (Star Trek).
I started drawing portraits when I was about 12 years old — around 1997 🧒✏️
But it wasn’t until 2011 that I finally found the courage to draw Data. 🧵

Finally finished portrait #30 in my Book of Faces! ✍️📖 This time, I added Pauley Perrette as Abby from NCIS—because honestly, she had to be in there. 🖤🔬 Abby is smart, quirky, unapologetically herself, and a brilliant scientist in a field often dominated by men. 👩‍🔬✨

What started as a gouache experiment 🎨 (that went totally sideways) somehow found its way back—thanks to a little persistence ✨ and a lot of color!

Here’s Data 🤖 again—our favorite colorless android—now boldly lit in purple, starlight ⭐, and neon eyes.

Had a blast makerfairegent today! Just my trusty @efteling sketchbook and two multicolor ballpoints from @hema.be ✏️ Finally completed this accidental lookalike trio: Brent Spiner and James Spader were drawn last year, and today I added Michael Shanks 🎨

I try to make a habit of sketching for at least 10 minutes a day—if I have more time, I work on something bigger. In these quick sessions, I focus on capturing the essence of what I see…
So here you go: some quick freehand Brent Spiner/Data sketches 😂

"I am happy to see Spot… yet I am crying. Perhaps the chip is malfunctioning."
"I think it’s working perfectly."
— Data & Deanna, Generations
I hope I captured that emotion in his face: the confusion, the tenderness, the spark of something deeply human.

Help, my desk got invaded by these tiny critters! 🐾👀 (Chuzzles?) Any ideas on what the plan is with these tiny creatures? 🤔 Are they up to something mischievous 😈 or just looking for a new home? 🏡 Let me know your theories!

Two portraits, one collage — both created using the same reference of Brent Spiner as Data. ✍️ Each side tells its own story. One is who he is, the other who he wants to be. Which side draws your eye the most? Let me know! 💛🖤

But amidst the chaos, I finally found the time to finish a new portrait in my Book of Faces: the amazing Tine Embrechts (F(l)amme Fatale — and so much more!). She’s portrait number 29 in my little book.

Now the big question… who should be number 30? 🎨 Drop your suggestions below! 💛

Finished another digital portrait! 🎨 Brent Spiner as Data in Star Trek: TNG (S07E17) Masks. Used a screenshot as reference, featuring the haunting moment:

🗣️ 'Does it hurt?'
🤖 'Yes'

Just a wild thought: A young Brent Spiner would have made a perfect Loki, don’t you think? 😏✨ And Tom Hiddleston as Data? 🤖🤭

Had a few minutes to sketch this out after looking for some references. Not sure if I’ll take this idea further, but it was fun to explore! 🎨 What do you think?

✨ It’s been a bit quiet here… well, on my socials at least — not so much in real life! 😅 We've been busy switching rooms around the house, moving my hobby/creating room back upstairs to the attic. 🧵

✨ WIP Wednesday! ✨ Voor mijn Vlaamse/Nederlandse volgers: hier is een kijkje achter de schermen bij mijn nieuwste portret van Tine Embrechts! 🎨
Wat denken jullie tot nu toe? Laat gerust een reactie achter! 💛

Even een reminder dat een like op Bluesky een bericht nauwelijks voortstuwt in de vaart der volkeren, - zoals op andere social media. Je steekt alleen je duim op naar de maker.
Dus als je een bericht belangrijk vindt, en graag zou willen dat anderen het zien, repost het dan.

WIP Wednesday! 🚀🎨 Finished another portrait for my watercolor painting of the TNG cast—this time, Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). Used colored pencils to refine the details and bring her to life. 🖌️💙 Only one portrait left... well, almost. Worf still needs some serious work! 🫣

**"Couldn't resist the urge to take out my colored pencils and tweak the previous portrait a bit. ✏️💛 I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in the end!

What do you think—did the colored pencils improve the design, or did it make it worse? 🤔✨ Let me know! 👇

In the category: I have no idea what I'm doing, it's just practice. Haven't created anything in over a week because life has been lifing. 🫠🎨 Here's Data (Brent Spiner) in mixed media—just letting the creativity flow! Should I leave it like this or try to improve it?

🖤💛

**#ThrowbackThursday** to 2023, when I experimented with a unique artistic approach—dividing a single portrait into four sections and filling each with a different medium.

Here’s my take on **Brent Spiner as Data**, brought to life with graphite pencils, watercolors, markers, and pastels.
