My Illustrated Short Story: “A Bright Bouquet”
This week has been quite a complicated one here, and as often happens to me, when too many strong emotions mix, I get sick. 🤒 As a result, I was down for the entire week. And it’s never fun, especially when you also have to take care of the children. But as often happens, these moments of forced pause by the body have also allowed me to clear my mind. To move forward in a way. 🌟 I’m presenting you with a short story I wrote a few weeks ago. I wanted to bring it to life, and I hope you’ll enjoy it. Tomorrow is the first day of school…

From printed doodles to traditional painting
Sometimes, I like to play with digital creations. It’s nice, different, and sometimes easier when you have kids running around you! (I say sometimes, because most of the time, I feel that traditional drawing is much easier with my children as they want to come and draw too) So I decided to draw winter doodles to illustrate this cozy mood. Forest creatures mostly, as it’s our main place to be 🙂 Even if I like the final digital result, I want to have a traditional version of it. So here is what I did for this drawing. I printed one of the doodles that I did, and after that, I…
