Another review today. This time I am putting the notorious Arrtx Acrylic Markers under the microscope. I have previously reviewed Arrtx 126 colored pencil set and I totally astounded by their quality/price combinations. Naturally the bar was already high. Let me tell you that: They didn’t disappoint. Disclaimer: The markers were
A skin tutorial again! A couple of years ago I did this tutorial for drawing realistic skin with color pencils. Up to this date I still use it as the basis for my drawings. However, it mostly targets beginners, so this time I opted for something slightly more advanced, to

As I have mentioned before, my kids and I love everything crafty. Lately we’ve been obsessed with dragons and craft pins.

Another easy craft for kids. Or for adults, who am I to judge?! 😉 It’s summer holidays at the moment and we spend a lot of time with my kids. Like A LOT. Little ones have been vandalizing my office for a while, but on the other hand they keep
A rant today, did you miss those already?? I lost my art glove the other day. Good news, I found it after a few days, but in the meantime I was forced to work glove-less. And even though I panicked at first, it was an interesting experience. What is an
