Apart from showing you the sticker sheets for my bullet journal, and the two illustrated zines I bought, I will quickly analyse what I think is important for packaging and preparing your etsy orders.

Stay joyful,

Art Supply Haul for Illustrators and New Cass Art store in Manchester

May 30, 2017 Romica Spiegl

Bonjour!

Looking for some new art supplies or wondering what this new CassArt store in Manchester has to offer? In this video, I will share the new art supplies I use for my Illustrations, my impression of the store, and also the content of their 50 GBP goodie bag. Not only is this a Cass Art haul but I will also talk about how this could affect our other two independent art stores in Manchester - Fred Aldous and H. Blythe. If you love art supplies or if you are from Manchester and were wondering if this new art store is worth a visit then this video is for you.  In this video, I will also share my favourite new gouache paints and my best paper for gouache painting (in my opinion).

Book Haul: Books for Illustrators by Romica Spiegl-Jones

May 17, 2017 Romica Spiegl

Hi there!

Are you in need of a beautifully illustrated book for an Illustrator friend or for yourself? In this book haul I share my recent favourite illustrated books. I hope you can use it to either find a new reading list for yourself or as a gift guide for books for illustrators. I will share with you a beautifully illustrated children's book, an industry guide for illustrators wanting to learn how to make money off their illustrations, an inspiring graphic novel, a visual treat for bird lovers, and a handy how to guide for printmaking.

#Repost from @daysoutdrawing with @regram.app ... What can be a better conclusion to a day out drawing in the rain than a cup of hot chocolate ☕🍫 . Here is @romica_s drawing of a camomile plant (??? correct us if we are wrong) from when she took refuge in the green house in the upper garden at Quarry Bank Mill @nationaltrust during a weather hiccup aka very heavy rain 😉 ☔☔☔ . . #daysoutdrawing #daysoutdrawingMCR #drawing #drawdaily #plants #plantillustration #camomile #illustration #nationaltrust #quarrybankmill #manchester
It's crazy to think that in less than a month Nick and I are planning to finally move into our first apartment. I cannot express how grateful and blessed I feel that we can finally have our own little home. . . This dream had been long in the making . As a little girl I have been planning my interiors with a huge IKEA catalogue on the table. Did anyone else do that? Later in the early 2000s came a really old-fashioned CD-ROM for creating 3D models for architects. I loved building and decorating my dream houses. I really don't know how many I've "built" as teenager ^^. And now it's finally time. . . With moving comes re-evaluating what I really want to bring. So many sketchbooks, the odd orphaned sock, 3 pairs of thermal leggings I was convinced I'd need here in England (I didn't) and random stuff accumulated over the last 4 and a half years - it's time now to work through them all. . . In this process, I realised there are so many drawings I've never shared with you. This illustration resonates very much with me - a little hamster house for Nick and I. Hope it will bring a smile to your face as it did for me. . . Hope you are having a wonderful rest of the Sunday and a great new week . . Lots of love Romica . . #illustration_daily #sketchbook #pencildrawing #drawing #twitter
New video & New Series: Drawing in a stunning garden? 🌻 --- . . I just wanted to let you know that I have a new video coming out AND that I am starting a new series called "Days out Drawing" . Do you enjoy drawing en plein air? Or do you rather curl up in your PJs and get creative at home? I have to admit that I mostly draw at home from my imagination but last September I decided to give drawing outside a try. Nick (my husband) and I went to one of our favourite places in the area - Dunham Massey gardens which is part of the National Trust in the beautiful Cheshire countryside. . . If you like flowers, greenery, and drawing then this new video is for you. . . I also decided to push myself a bit by starting a new series which I call "Days out Drawing". This will help me to develop my skills by drawing from observation and take the time to really enjoy my environment - and bonus point - get myself out of the house and see amazing (new) places. Where would you draw outside, if you could teleport right now? . . Finding the Balance between "productive" drawing & drawing for joy . Don't get me wrong. I love drawing. But drawing and illustrating, to me personally, can be stressful if bound to expectations - and oh dear, I do have very high expectations on myself sometimes. On the other hand, I feel that drawing can also heal and be a form of meditation and relaxation. I hope this series will also help me to bring back the joy into my illustration practice. What do you think? Have you ever struggled to find a balance between productivity and joy in your creative practice? . . I hope you will enjoy this little trip to Dunham Massey . . If you do, please say hi, and leave a comment under the video. It makes the whole youtube journey worthwhile to connect with lovely people like you. . . . . @ntdunhammassey @nationaltrust #womenwithpencils #illustration_daily #womenwhodraw #illustrationartists #illustratorsoninstagram #freelanceillustrator #dowhatyoulove #instaartist #instaart #drawing #drawdaily #sketchbook #picturebooks #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitartist #pb
