Today I decided to draw all my (trivial) worries out. Things which have been bugging me for a while now. It might seem trivial to others, but sometimes these could take a toll on me.
And yes, I totally forgot—where on earth did I eat that perfect lemon pie again?? 💆🏻♀️🍋

Could I ask you which App do you use to realise your illustrations?
A
“Realising my illustrations” do you mean it as how I find my style? Actually, at first I sketch a lot on paper with drawing pens. I’m such an analog person still, so I develop alot doing works in traditional mediums, only then try to recreate similar results on digital/apps. You can notice pen-strokes alike on my digital illustrations, it somewhat still keeps the value of the traditional painted works.
As for apps, I use Photoshop mostly, has been so for 7+ years!

Hi Kathrin, would you mind sharing more of your experience with the Ipad Pro? Because I've been thinking whether to get it or not, I am that kind of person who prefer to work on bigger screen too..but I'm just kind of wondering do you think it is good for smaller work especially when you are not around your studio workspace? Thank you so much in advance!

Hello :)
Now I know many of my illustrator friends use Procreate for their big works, and I think it’s really possible to do it there. However, for me personally, I haven’t get the hang of Procreate yet… and I’m also still in the middle of getting used to it.
In the end of the day, I think it is about a matter of habit. I personally love the idea of working out of my studio with iPad, and it has been saving me so much hassle so far. However, the Adobe apps on iPad has not been so improved yet, so I chose to create works with Procreate instead. Although it has similar features as the Photoshop, you certainly need time to get used to it.
As for the screen size, yes I do prefer bigger screen. So for now, iPad is just a better option for me if I were to do my work outside; purely for convenience reason. When I’m back to my studio, I’ll transfer my works to the bigger screen. So I’ll go back & forth that way.
It’s nice to have more ways to do works, and you don’t have to only stick to one. But iPad is indeed a big investment. I suggest you go online and watch many comparison reviews. I am sure a lot of people has similar concern as yours.
All I shared here is purely my personal opinion, and also I’m only had my iPad for 3 months… so what did I know right? (lol). But I hope it helps even a bit. x

Hi Kathrin! Just curious will you be considering upgrading you bamboo tablet to a display tablet or getting an ipad?
A
Yes! I just bought an iPad Pro. However, I haven’t get used to Procreate on iPad yet. So right now I mostly use my bamboo still for my client works. iPad is only for when I’m working outside.
After I bought it, I think I somehow prefer to work on bigger screen. Maybe in the future I would invest on an iMac or maybe a Cintiq.

#Throwback to one of my favorite personal piece— “Isn’t it Better Here?”
Portrait practice ✨ Procreate first timer here! I think I need more time to get used to it. I feel that I’m still quite rigid with it, but I realised I worked faster drawing on iPad. Also, you guys can see how feeble minded I was in the process lol. The end result looks nothing like what I intended to create in the first place 😌

We greet the new year with a prayer that echoes Psalm 39, to “make me know the measure of my days” so we can approach every new milestone with a deeper sense of perspective and peace.
Happy New Year from! May it be filled with God’s goodness ✨ #theshadowstories
Psalm 139:23-24 ✨ “Search me, God, and know my heart; See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
So inspired by the sermon on this verse yesterday. I was reminded again to always have the verse as a constant prayer. I can’t help but did a quick illo about it :’) Also on another note, happy Monday guys, have a great week ahead!
