I know 'other drawings' is a bit vague BUT I make a lot of drawings and I would love to show them to you!

This is going to be a bit chaotic because I don't know exactly when and why I made some of these, so some of them will have some text while others will probably just be stand alone pieces. We'll see!

Let's start off with some drawings i made of me and my twin :D. The drawings on the side I made during a riso print workshop. The one on top I made as a little birthday gift. But yeah, I love my twin to death and I feel incredibly lucky to have a twin who's also an artist!

I made a small project about having a crush on someone so these are some of the sketches I made. It's about how you can have a very unrealistic image about someone you're in love with.

Around that time I also made other art about having a crush. When I made this art I only had been in a relationship once and that didn't go very well. So I was quite nervous about getting a crush on someone again and I processed those complicated feelings by making all this. That is a very big reason why I wanted to study art and make art for the rest of my life, because that's how I process life. This kind of art is very relieving to make and very helpful to look back on. 

Me and 2 other people made a little project about hybrid humans and these are the drawings I made! The project only lasted a week but I really enjoyed making these little characters. This project was was made in the fist week of me being in a new class so it was also just a very fun way to meet my new classmates

Sometimes we have to make assignments about who we are as artists and students. I have a hard time writing sometimes so I try and make it fun for myself by making little drawings around it. These are 2 examples of that. I sometimes struggle with juggling everything in my life so these pieces are mainly about that. I'm still very young and everything is very new to me so I'm trying to cut myself some slack and I also have therapy which is helping me a lot with managing everything. But making art like this is also very helpful!

These are some of the stills of a paper stopmotion video I made once. I interviewed senior citizens from Breda about how they try to keep moving and I even took part in a gym class for seniors. Unfortunately I lost the video but I really enjoyed interviewing these sweet people and then animating their story.

In my free time I love drawing characters. I most of the time draw little doodles of myself because that's just a 'character' I'm very comfortable with drawing. But I also like drawing fictional characters or just make something up at the top of my head and just draw them. 

I absolutely adore spiderman as a character so when 'Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse' and 'Spider-man: Across the Spider-verse (part 1)' came out it just made my obsession worse haha. So a lot of artists I was following on insta started making their own 'spider-sona's' (making their own spider-people). So I also wanted to participate! There are lots of different drawing trends (such as mermay, inktober, draw this in your style, ect.) and once in a while I'll try to also make art relating to these trends. But often I'm to busy with other projects.

I often still struggle with my religious past. Most of the time when I tackle this subject in my art I try to not but too much negative emotions and opinions in it because a lot of people I care about are still christian. But the older I get the more I also want to make art about all the negative emotions I have surrounding organized religion. I just am so annoyed by people being bigoted about minorities and people who are different from them. It's so sad to see how women, LGBTQIA+ people, people with other ethnicities and other people are a kind of scape goat for religious people. Just to make them more righteousness? Holy? More powerful? But Jesus himself always told people to love each other and always hung out with the misfits of society. And he told christians to do the same but in the meantime the misfits get stomped on by religious people. So I really want to make art about queer and other people who got mistreated by christians and paint them as holy figures such as saints. so as soon when I have the time and inspiration I want to continue these sketches

I even use art to find a living situation haha. As a student it is very difficult to find affordable living and I had to leave my living space prematurely so I was very stressed about that. So I made this little comic, posted it in group chats and on my socials hoping somebody maybe could help me.

These are some illustrations I made during a workshop. The workshop was al about worldbuilding and character design. I really enjoyed this workshop but got sick halfway trough the week so unfortunately these sketches stayed just sketches. The characters are based on me in my friends so this project is still very dear to my heart and I feel like this is something I will revisit again in the future.

The drawings I also make very often is something I call 'rant art'. Its not much thinking, just drawing what I feel. It helps me quite a lot and it's very fun to do. I do not use references when drawing these, I do not try to fit in a certain style, I barely make sketches for these, I just put my pen to paper and go. 

I've done charity portraits twice now (once for the war in Ukraine and the other one for the genocide in Palestine). It was very fun to do but also very exhausting. But I'm very glad that we could raise as much money as we did.

As an artist who does not have much money, I often make personal little cards to accompany gifs. These are some of them!

I have participated in Inktobers and merMAY's but I must confess, I never finished one. These are a couple of the drawings I made last year!

I have a pretty busy life (who doesn't in this day and age) and I often use art to process life. Also to just remember nice moments in my life and to capture those little memories.

I had a little book for a while where I made daily comics but sadly I only managed to make a handfull of comics. Here are 2 honorable mentions.

I made a comic two years ago about how I felt at the time. I also wanted to incorporate a kind of animation aspet. That's why I made the little moving 'flipbooks'.

I made these drawings when I just came out of the closet as non-binairy. It was a scary and frustrating time and I felt very insecure. Luckily I can look back at these drawings and see how much I have grown in my trans identity. It's still very frustrating to see people undermine my identity and not take me and other queer and trans people seriously in our struggles but at the very least I am now surrounded by people who fully accept me, which helps a lot.
