I love the word “doodle” because it is so open-ended and non-judgmental to me. It is an activity that has no agenda of being accurate, perfect, life-like or even close to rendering reality. Instead “to doodle” is (to me) to relax and let what ever comes up in your mind come out on the page. […]

Category: Draw & doodle
Everyone can doodle, and to draw all you need is to keep practicing. I love looking at beautiful illustrations, watercolour paintings and children’s books, for example. And I always keep at least one Doodle Book going, because it’s fun to fill page after page with your own marks.
Create along with me: Doodle Cute Monsters
Get ready, grab your pencils, and let’s doodle some (not scary at all) monsters! They’re going to be very kawaii (cute in Japanese), and not scary at all, I promise. It’s our first lesson in the new series Create along with iHanna, I hope you like it. To “doodle along” is calming and fun to […]
Note to self: Shake things up
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them. Marcus Aurelius As with everything I think it’s important to not do “the same” all the time. […]
Writing a letter
I got stacks of letters that I got when I was younger, maybe from my teens until I was 20 or so? I used to put a lot of effort into writing letters when I was at that age, maybe because it was the time before Internet and e-mail? It makes me feel rather old […]
Love Acrylic Paint Markers
I have started a new adventure this autumn, and it’s taking some of my mental space to digest everything about it. I won’t reveal what it is just yet, but if something comes of it I’ll let you guys know of course! And if I’m not here, know that I am elsewhere being creative. In […]

Index Cards | ICAD continued in July
My pile of finished index cards of the year is growing. I’m keeping them together on my desk with a rubber band for now. They record the summer days passing (all too quickly) in a hot fury. I’m grateful to be able to take the time to create them, to have the joy of creating […]
Experimental Portraits | Time-lapse Video
Make action a habit. Don’t wait until things are just right. There is never a perfect time to begin. There is only now. Expect that things will be difficult. Know that there will be setbacks. Remember how strong you are. Expect to succeed anyway. When you take action fear fades and confidence rises. Tess Marshall […]
Painting a lot of Hearts | Time-lapse video
Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts. Paramahansa Yogananda All through February I have been painting colorful hearts in my little notebook. I could probably continue for a while longer, because there is no end to the ways you […]
Creating in January | Time-lapse painting video
I captured all the 31 first pages of January on video, so that you can take part of the creative process (in a rather rushed time-lapse way)! I’m really excited to share it with you today. I have shared just a few of the time-lapse videos on my instagram, but now I’ve compiled them into […]
Introducing the blank Kikki.K 365 Journal
I have always doubted my ability to do anything daily, and it’s not because I have low self-esteem (which I often have) but because I know myself too well to even try it… That said, I also knew when this year started that I wanted a kick in the butt when it comes to painting […]
Custom Sketchbooks from Art Journal Pages
I have three beautiful custom sketchbooks in my possession. I picked painted art journal pages of my own as cover art, and I am in love with these blank books. Today I’m sharing a video review of them, including a pen test so that you can see for yourself how the paper takes watercolors and […]
