Petra's Tumblr

@petravb / petravb.tumblr.com

Hello, my name is Petra and I'm a coach, teacher and 2D artist/illustrator from Groningen, the Netherlands. On here I share artwork, work-in-progress & sketches, plus interesting things by other people that I find worth sharing. At the moment I am not very active anymore...trying to find back some creative-mojo again.

Some weeks ago we saw Hazbin Hotel and of course I’m a fan of transformation scenes so I loved that part! 🔥 I wanted to reimagine the style a bit anime-ish with soft shadows. I know it looks a bit different but I had fun with it. ✍️ Go see the series on Amazon!

Hi all, I hope you are okay! I suddenly got a lot of sales from my Spoonflower shop! It’s a nice surprise but I can’t really backtrack where it suddenly came from (except for the individuals) so I just wanted to share: thank you! It makes me happy and motivates me to make more so if you have any suggestions then let me know. At the moment though I am really busy still with teaching (switching to online education is quite a hassle) but if I have bit more time now at home I could make something new. So: Thank you dear liker and purchaser <3 !

But the changing of winds, and the way waters flow... ...What I wouldn't give for just a moment to hold Because, I live for this feeling, this everglow - Everglow, Coldplay Digital painting by me in Procreate on iPad. What I feel when I hear this song while taking a walk during sunset. I don’t paint because people ask me to, push me to or expect me to. I paint and create, because then I am (connected to) my feelings So I can keep hold of that a little longer, because there is nothing in comparison with that, not in the rest of the world and my life. So instead of human functionality, I am the sense, a conscious moment, a feeling, an emotion. And to be honest I wish I could live ‘in’ that forever, it is more ‘me’ than anything else.

‘Edge’ for illustration friday

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? - Marianne Williamson, from 'A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

Reblogging this for relevance. I forgot a lot of things that I made before, sadly, sometimes it feels like a former life. But I remembered this one though.

But the illustration is... well, If you want to connect, then you shouldn’t dissociate yourself from the world. But I guess this image might show a changing point. I love images of winged beings, but maybe next time one that is lower to earth and not alone would be nice. Daring to show the wings.
