I’m on a mission to make my workspace full of inspiration and small visual reminders to keep me on track with what I want to achieve this year! This list of reminders is part of this mission, and I thought it would be cute to make it pretty with little characters also working on their creative goals 🤗 Who else needs visual reminders everywhere? I know I wouldn’t remember to go out for a break if it’s not right in front of me, or to swap news podcasts for music so I don’t make myself anxious everyday 🫣 #illustration #characterillustration

Not proud to share I’m a terrible sketchbook keeper 🥲 And won’t lie that I’m very jealous of creatives that have years worth of beautiful sketchbooks in their archives! But not drawing everyday because of my perfectionism? Not an option anymore, so I’ll stop hiding my ugly, and most of the times, very lazy sketches 🙌🏻 Fingers crossed practice does indeed make it perfect 🤞🏻 #creativeprocess #sketchbookpages #illustration

First week of January with my calendar’s illustration ✏️🗒️ I love the first weeks of the year, I’m always full of hope and excitement to start acting on what I want for the year! Some of my resolutions include creating more personal projects and getting better at sharing them here! Also, I’d love to get better at recognising when I’m burning out and allowing myself to take breaks & enjoy guilt-free non productive times ✨ What about you, what resolutions did you set for 2026? #illustrationartists #characterillustration

✨✨ Happy New Year! ✨✨
