Mie Ruistuen is an artist from Norway, she loves d&d (dungeons and dragons, the roleplaying game) and often draws inspired by the characters and their worlds. The majority of her artworks are digital portraits and the style is a semi-realistic one. She is even about to release a course on this topic (link below if you're interested). I feel like her passion for fantasy and her drawing skills perfectly match together to create an artist that's capable of moving really smoothly from realism to "human-like" fantastic creatures

Leah is an illustrator, story artist and animator based in the Los Angeles area. Her characters are super cute, she likes to work on artworks for kids and can surely amaze them through the sweetness of her art and the colors she uses, both unique in her pieces. Something I like a lot is she recently posted a ton of art she's doing for a game (Shadow*Kitty) which I find so so good. I'm no expert but the characters are fantastic so I had to look at the game itself and I found out there are different princesses and familiars to go with them.

Gisella is a watercolor artist and calligrapher based in Milan, Italy. She is inspired by nature and her purpose is to create stories through art. To do that she combines the fluidity of watercolors, their ability to be unpredictable in a sense if you want with the expressive and controlled lines of calligraphy. The most beautiful thing is that she is always able to keep the whole artwork so balanced, delicate and light. It's so hard to describe that it makes me think her art really reaches the highest level

Elisa is a lettering artist from Italy and she is part of the Brillanza Colours trio! She works with two other amazing women to make watercolors (yep that's right, they make the colors) and they sell them on their etsy shop in what seems to be a fraction of a second every single time. They'll say when the next packs of colors are going to be ready for shipping and as soon as they open the shop the pans are sold out. And you know why? 'Cause the colors are gorgeous!

Helen is an illustrator from Switzerland and let me start this episode by saying every creation of her, literally every single one is adorable. She makes lots of characters but also all kind of things really. Something you would notice on her profile is she focuses on real world items quite a bit making postcards, stickers, prints, magnets, pins, patches, washi tapes and so on.. I think it's really cool if you like her style to be able to get her art on something you use or want to expose, or maybe even donate

Cecilia is a lettering artist from Sardinia, Italy! I'm happy to showcase a fellow Italian artist today, she's actually a "long time followed of mine". I've always been super attracted by lettering and in fact that's what made me discover watercolors in the beginning, so to see such beautiful art when I scroll her feed is touching. Her pieces always stand out for the use of colors, whether it's through markers or brushes it seems like she's always able to get a stunning mix of tones.

Isabel is an illustrator and comic artist based in Austin, Texas. She loves to express through comics and her skills are just over the top! She's one of my most recent discoveries through TikTok (her link is down below), don't underestimate the platform because I've found it quite inspiring much like Instagram is. I'm very happy I got to see her artworks there together with small videos of the process, in fact it's only through them that you can realize every little detail in her works has been carefully thought and got her attention.

Dylan is a multimedia designer and creative director (and also a musician!) and posts a ton of portraits made in his own unique styles. The best part is there's almost always a process video to go with them, which makes them all super interesting and a double source of inspiration! I really like when the artwork is focused on the face of the subject and even more if the background is something abstract or very simple thus leaving the viewer with nothing else to watch but the person's traits.

Alfonso is an illustrator from Mexico and boy oh boy are his characters funny! So he mainly designs these big head little body figures doing all sorts of things and I find them all so cute and funny. To be fair he does a lot of other things too, on his website (link below) you'll get a quick and nice view of activities like logo and brand design, packaging, publications and more. Talking about his characters which are the first and true reason I fell in love with his art I have to say humans are not the only ones he makes, there's animals and little monsters to play with.

Anna is an hand lettering artist and painter originally from Russia now based in Portugal. She recently went on an explosion of really beautiful abstract paintings, but I actually got to know her first for the lettering posts she was making. I don't feel I can discount one or the other anymore so I would say she does both and does them very well! Regarding the lettering part she uses both digital and traditional medium ranging from sketches on paper to chalkboards for shops or events
