Fontself for iPad – Review
So, the other day was the worst day I had in a while. Everything that could go wrong DID go wrong. And then, somewhere around midnight when I was ready to give up, I found out that Fontself released a standalone iPad app. I told myself that life is good after all! In fact, it […]

So I thought I […]
Water Text Effect in Procreate
I have said over and over again that I love procreate, I cannot live without procreate, I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is open procreate on my iPad. (At least WHEN I wake up. Some days I don’t wake up at all. No joking… And by the end of […]

Review: Arrtx Acrylic Markers + Metallic Paint Pens
I am slowly becoming a huge Arrtx fan. Their products never disappoint. When I first tried out their pencils I expected a casual pencil targeted to kids (Mostly due to the low price tag). Imagine my surprise when I found out that I could create my usual photorealistic art without any quality loss. Yep, learned […]
Tutorial: Gabby’s Dollhouse Easter Eggs (+ free template)
It’s this time of the year again! Easter Eggs are a big deal in our family, the little ones love painting them – and everything else that is in close proximity (but that’s another story). Normally I am just watching, ready to fix the colorful mess they leave behind. This year, however, it was my […]
