Hii guys! I just realised I spend less and less time here on deviantart, and I fewl kinda guilty about that but on the other side I find SO much inspiration on instagram and pinterest these days that it’s hard to keep the pace in here as well.
So if you’re still there and curious to see more of my work, here’s a good news:

I post daily on my instagram - so please please come follow me there (anda_ansheen)
Also I’m pretty active on facebook and I try to be active on twitter but not as often because I tend to forget about it (sorry twitter!)
So... yeah. I think that’s it.

I will continue to post finished work here, especially drawings with my fairy Lia, because this is my most extensive online portfolio and it’s the link I give to my clients most of the time. But for daily updates, wip’s and whatnot, come follow me on instagram :)

Hope you are all good, cheers! ^_^

Hello darlings! (I mean, hello to whoever's still watching me after these years I've been away from dA)

Are you still there?
It's been a crazy time for me, with a lot of projects for books and a lot of work. I went through a burn-out, recovered from it, worked even more and now I took a month off for personal work. I guess I had to go to the extreme to find my balance point. Taking more projects than you can handle is frustrating and takes away almost all creativity. So now I started to take time for myself as well, that means no more client work until January *yay*

It feels so great to work again on stuff just for stuff's sake, not for a client or something else. I missed the browsing and getting inspired by artists around here. 

So I guess I'm back, I started posting an image per day since last week. My new calendar with Lia will be out soon and you'll be able to order it from here as well.

How have you all been lately?

Yay, so happy! Her name is now officially and unoficially Lia, and we even threw a party for this! All of her friends were invited :love:, see a picture on my Facebook page, here :D 

And stay tuned because right now I'm uploading a new illustration with her. Woohoo!


p.s. The first person to guess what Lia comes from, will get 4 postcard-sized prints with her from me, for free :D

Hello Autumn!

4 min read
I've waited for it so much... :love:

Basically I've been away from home for more than 2 months: first, one whole month in China with my kung fu training, then travelling around the country for another 3 weeks, then had another 2 weeks of summer special TaiChi courses and training... It was awesome but I missed sitting at my desk and just painting and relaxing. 
Not to mention that work piled up and I have absolutely no idea how am I going to finish 45 illustrations for my publisher until the end of the month! :dead:

But hey, good thing that autumn is the best season to be creative! (at least for me)..
I love it when it rains for days and nature is slowly turning its attention toward the inside, preparing to hibernate. The weather gets cooler, mosquitoes and flies start to disappear, everyone is busy in school/at work, light gets softer... And a hot tea always feels better when it's cold outside. 

And the calm, quiet and lazy playlist fits this season more than anything else. Check it out on Youtube, hereI'm constantly adding new songs to it, so feel free to check it out from time to time! (and hit the "shuffle" button, because I didn't make any special arrangements, and some artists have more songs all together).

And because winter is approaching, besides the commissioned works, I'm also working on my Little Fairy calendar (which I will publish later this year), I'm already thinking about doing Christmas greeting cards (as odd as it may sound), and there's so much to do! Good thing I love it, as much as I love complaining about it, hahahaha :)


Oh and one more thing I love about autumn, is all the abundance of fruit and veggies everywhere! Now is the time of all those yummy pumpkins, boiled corn, eggplant salad, not to mention the awesome "putting them in jars for winter" activity :heart:

How is your autumn? Are you enjoying it as much as I do?
