Not everything in life needs to be rushed. With everything in the world moving so fast, drawing and outlining makes me calm and relaxed 🧘🏻‍♀️✍🏼. I’m outlining my Spring Cleaning stickers here, available at Studio Lau 🧼🫧. Link in bio 😉

✏️ Human creators have the ability to make complex decisions and develop truly new ideas while AI is limited by its reliance on historical data and algorithms. ✏️ Human creators are storytellers and our audience wants to know why and how the artwork was created. ✏️ Humans greatest strength is our empathy and emotional resonance. This allows us to create and appreciate truly meaningful artwork. Do you agree with me? #illustrating #illustrator #creativity #artwork #madewithhumanintelligence

If you told me I’d be illustrating my first book with a basic blue ballpoint pen, on watercolor paper from the italian town Amalfi, in 4 days, for my 63 year old dutch friend while living in Italy- I would pinch myself to check if I were dreaming. 😭 The whole project has been swirling around me, and as I’ve struggled with art block I just wanted to doodle a little with whatever I had available- a ballpoint pen and my book of watercolor paper from Amalfi that my friend gave me. It’s all very symbolic, and corelates in such wonderful ways! Anyway I haven’t drawn traditionally in a while but it was so good to reawaken that creative muscle, it really broke me out of art block. For this project I was inspired by the magic here in italy, art noveau ornaments and florals, and my love for the sea- which goes well with the story that these illustrations are for! I haven’t even read my friends book yet, but by just hearing the concept, I could not help but feel inspired. I was honored to be chosen as the illustrator, and now that I know I am capable of it, I am sure I’d be up for similar projects and collaborations in the future🥹❤️ love you guys! . #bookillustration #illustrating #bookillustrations #sketchbooktour #ballpointpen

Some behind-the-scenes into the making of Luna and the Witch

Some behind-the-scenes into the making of Luna and the Witch by Aubrey Plaza & Dan Murphy 🕷️ So excited to share this book at last - what a treat it’s been to work on. I feel I’ve learnt a huge amount making this - my confidence illustrating picture books has always been a little shaky - they’re huge undertakings & I typically feel more comfy with early fiction like Kate on the Case and middle grade - but this project has shown me the best results take time. Enjoy & follow along for more peeks into character design, colour palettes & texture! #illustrating #kidlit #picturebook #illustration #illustrator #tutorial #characterdesign #character #sketch #howto #drawing #art #procreateart #procreate #digital #design #childrensbookillustration #childrensbook #picturebookillustration #picturebookart #picturebook #picturebooks
