"Starting from Scratch" That was the theme of the October @upcrate box and I finally came around to do this. It's such a different way of working/drawing, but so fun to do it again after some time. I never scratched on a surface before that I prepared myself. However, I really like how you can delute the black ink and play with the different greys and scratch on top. I love the @ampersand_art scratchboards or this time clayboards for this type of art. As a motif I chose this Christmas Wild West scenery greatly inspired by a painting by Jack Sorenson @jacksorensonfineart I found on Pinterest. It's fits also the prompts of October 'Wild West' and November 'Black and White' of @kreativ_im_zwergenheim #monthlyartchallenge #inspire_create_crew. . . . . . . #upcrate38 #upcrate #upcratebattle #drawing #inkdrawing #scratchboard #artistsoninstagram #instaartist #instaart #germanart #germanartist #scratching #blackandwhiteart #blackandwhite #blackwhite #inking #scratchart #scratchboardart (hier: Potsdam, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clmo5QkNwJj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A paint marker piece for the prompt “Come Together” for this month’s Upcrate battle.

Not sponsored, Upcrate is a German-based art subscription box. This is my first time actually drawing something for the prompt and on time too :D

Very different from my usual stuff but I like it c:

#upcrate box with interesting new content 😂 Wondering whether this could be a valid entry for this month's #upcratebattle too. After all its #inspiredbynature and it's done with stuff coming from @upcrate 🤔😁 #catinabox #catsofinstagram #catstagram #catlover #blackandwhitecat #cats https://www.instagram.com/p/CWYoecbo2Zr/?utm_medium=tumblr

The prompt for the #upcratebattle from @upcrate is rainbow mood and the first thing i thought of was a church window. It is pretty funny that the first thing i thought of after receiving those rainbow colors: “How to mix them to get the prettiest black color?” I really liked working with the Karin brush markers overall. I also will be making a video of me working with them <3 #karinmarkers #animedrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CBILHJ5KLrF/?igshid=m2ab0y5laj4x

Hi! 🖤✨ This is my entry for #upcratebattle organized by @upcrate This month battle topic is "Let's jump into your Adelais'World", based on an aesthetic by @neimykanani 💕. I really hope you like my version of this dark oneiric world, it reminds me of my old art style when I was "Gothic/darker" 😂💕. I also made a video of the process that I would like to share soon 👀🖤. The materials used are only what you see in the picture, it was a fun challenge!! ☺️ I hope you like it and, have a lovely week!! Laura #upcrate30 #upcratebattle30 #acrylicgouache ¡Holaaa! 🖤✨ Esta es mi entrada para el concurso organizado por @upcrate, que es la caja sorpresa de artículos de arte que os enseñé en el último video que subí a YouTube. Me gustaría haberlo enseñado tras subir el video del proceso pero la fecha de entrega está a la vuelta de la esquina y o quería que se me pasara 😱. Aún así espero que os guste el siguiente vídeo donde daré mi opinión sobre los materiales y demás. El tema del mes se llama "Let's jump into your Adelaide's World", que se basa un poco en la estética de @neimykanani que fue la artista invitada del mes. Hacer este estilo de dibujo me ha recordado mucho a mis "tiempos oscurillos" donde dibujaba a Synkope y a otros personajes darks 👀🖤 jaja! ¡Ojalá os guste! Tened una bonita semana 😚 Laura https://www.instagram.com/p/CbXw5l4KKwD/?utm_medium=tumblr

Here is my final entry into #upcratebattle21 Not as good as the others but I'm okay with it. It turns out very well in my (unprofessional) opinion. Hope ya' like it too! #upcratebattle #upcratebox #upcratebattle21 #upcrate21 (hier: Karlsruhe, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPCvCHlslQ8/?utm_medium=tumblr

'Beautiful of madness' is the theme of the September upcratebattle. And the first thing I thought of was this quote from the Cheshire Cat. And is so fitting for this crazy world/time we're living in. #upcratebattle #aliceinwonderland #cheshirecat #wereallmadhere #quotesaboutlife #truthinfiction #acrylicpainting #woodart https://www.instagram.com/p/CF0JuEhCBBa/?igshid=1idpltey6lagl

"Two in one" I'm still behind with some boxes. So today you get two in one. I think the #upcrate40 and the #upcrate41 aren't totally not my favorites. I always struggle with charcoal especially on smaller surfaces. It's messy and I don't get the results I have in my head. It's amazing what others do with them. However my suitcase isn't so bad I must say. I hope I can use my vacations this year for some traveling. Even if it's only in Germany. The metallic pens from December work mostly great, but they don't really inspire me much. I use such pens mostly to highlight a lettering on a card or for funky details in a piece not for a whole drawing. I tried the scribbling style of the featured artist, but it turned out to be a mess as well. So the lettering of the prompt phrase was the best I could do this time. . . . . . #upcrate #upcratebattle #drawing #share_drawings #share_sketches #charcoal #charcoaldrawing #pastelart #metallic #lettering #handlettering #tomorrowwewillbeunstoppable #handlettered #letteringpractice #blackandwhiteart #blackandwhite #blackwhite #monochrome (hier: Potsdam, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CozE9_2rdQT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Show who you are" Today I had finally some inspiration for the november @upcrate box from last year. With some other boxes it was waiting for my inspiration, so I can dive into them. I didn't use the bag from the box, but the bag we got on our #dienstagscrew get-together last October, as it had my name plotted on it. I thought it was ideal for this prompt. You all can guess my main hobbies, I think. 😉 It was a challenge and it's not my best, but I like the result. . . . . #upcrate39 #upcratebattle #upcrate #artchallenge #challenge #germanart #germanartist #instaartist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #textileart #textilepainting #textilmalerei #pebeopaint #pebeo #pébéo #giottotextilemarker (hier: Potsdam, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoA6EH9LN53/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Mystical Interaction" I had a hard time to come up with an idea for last month's #upcratebattle prompt. Especially as the colour palette in this @upcrate box gave me totally spring vibes and I'm mostly in an autumn mood at the moment. However with some time, this little fairy playing with modern electronics came to my mind. The supplies worked really well together and you could achieve a good range of colours by mixing them. I was really surprised by the #bristolpaper by @smltart. Even with heavy layering of the #alcoholmarkers by @spectraad , there was almost no bleed through. . . . . . . . #upcrate #upcrate37 #mysticalinteraction #artistsoninstagram #instaartist #instaart #germanart #germanartist #markers #markerdrawing #markerart #marker #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #fairy #fairyillustration #alcoholmarkersillustration #colourpencils #colouredpencildrawing #alcoholmarkerandcolouredpencil (hier: Potsdam, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjkIYcZs8Fc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"childhood dreams/heros" Ich weiß nicht wie oft ich als Kind ich die Bücher "Hanni und Nanni" von @enidblytonofficial gelesen habe und wie oft ich mir den Anime angeschaut habe. Ich liebte ihre Abenteuer und Streiche und wie sie sich für andere eingesetzt haben. Wegen ihnen habe ich tatsächlich davon geträumt auf ein Internat zu gehen, das weiß ich noch. Ich glaube, ich hatte diesen Wunsch aber nie gegenüber meinen Eltern geäußert, da ich doch furchtbar schüchtern war.

"Tree house" My first go with the August @upcrate box. With the prompt "childhood dreams" a tree house was the first idea I got. The colour palette was nice for this and the #watercolourpencils worked well on the paper. It's a nice box yet again. . . . . . . ##upcrate #upcratebattle #upcrate36 #artchallenge #challenge #germanart #germanartist #instaartist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #zeichnen #drawing #aquarelle #watercolour #watercolor_art #watercolors #illustration #watercolourillustration #childrenbookillustration #childhooddreams #treehouse #lyra_feelcreative (at Parchim) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chz37YQr8-h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Nature is Art" That was the prompt of the of the July @upcrate box. I got for my part a really challenging color combination. The light blue and bright yellow gave me a hard time to come up with an idea and I searched several days for inspiration. At the end I'm pretty content with my beach scene. . . . . . #upcrate35 #upcratebattle #upcrate #artchallenge #challenge #uncrateupcrate #artistsoninstagram #instaartist #instaart #germanart #germanartist #gouache #gouachepainting #gouachelandscape #acrylics #mixedmedia #landscape #nature #beach (hier: Potsdam, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChK4AIyLEWE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
