Artists! What do you think about using Al as reference? I've seen a couple of reels where people do that and still not sure about it πŸ€”

My entry for "August adventures" challenge

This piece for me was always about a journey: from not believing things are gonna change to getting actually better. It gives me hope and a feeling of spring 🌸✨
Life goes on and so do we

What do you think about sketching in public? Do you have any tips?
Let me know!

Anyway, to become better at this, I decided to do it more often, so now I have a year tickets to natural history museum and botanical garden, and I’m gonna push through my uncertainty and anxiety and sketch sketch sketch

2. Too many people around and it freaks me out. I feel like I need to hurry and like my attempts are being evaluated, although both of these statements are just in my head (I have all the time I need and nobody cares!!)

1. I’m not used to sketching live. In my experience it’s not the same as using pictures as reference, so my lines are pretty unsure

You know those people who sketch at cafes and bus stops?

I've never been that person, but I really want to! It’s such a great skill I could use while traveling or just being bored outside.
My problems are: skill issue and some kind of social pressure

Hey! Just wanted to share my favourite sketchbook spreads of July. I have a pet project for this year: learning to sketch without pencil lines underneath, so I choose monthly topics and try to stick to it. Can you guess which one was this?

I used to make a lot of colour studies, this one is my favourite from February. Somewhere at that moment I decided to focus on markers sketching, but now I kinda miss painting and sculpting with colours. So may be I’ll get back to it πŸ’•

So that’s what I got. What do you think?

I also made a video about that, you can check it out on my instagram:

leaving an illusion that one day I’ll do it (never happens). But do I really need to be sure? Do I really need it to be perfect? Nothing is perfect anyway. And moreover, sketchbooks are supposed to be messy, just like our lives. It’s ok

As soon as I saw an empty first page, I thought β€œthis is the one I’m gonna see every time I open a sketchbook, it probably should be perfect”. I suddenly wasn’t sure if I could do it perfect and wanted to do the thing I always do: ignore the first page, start from the next one

Have you ever been so scared of making a mistake, that you didn't start at all? A couple weeks ago I finished my sketchbook and was really excited to start a new one, until I actually opened it

Hi there!
I’m Daria, an illustrator based in Berlin. My works mostly revolves around themes of mental well-being and nature ✨

I usually post on instagram, but I’ve been looking for a quieter corner, somewhere for longer thoughts and connection

Maybe this is it?
