Hi, I'm Nienke.
Illustrator, workshop teacher
and content creator.
Always drawing
My daily work might be best described as being a professional art supplies nerd. I love to draw, paint and share all my knowledge about drawing and the materials I work with. I want to provide tools & tips to other people to get creative too. With my work I want to contribute to a more diverse, inclusive, colorful world.
WORKSHOPS - Want to learn how to draw?
Besides making my own creative work, I give (online) workshops on various topics. Like drawing people, urban sketching and sketch journaling. During these workshops I share all my tips & tricks with you and make you just as enthusiastic to get creative yourself!
​
“I can’t draw” doesn’t exist in my book: I’m here to give you the tools the getting started and keep on practicing!
"I’ve wanted to draw portraits for so long, but I was really dreading this! Can I really do this? Nienke has helped me get over this fear. Thanks to her clear instructions it is suddenly not so scary anymore!”
COLLABORATIONS - Want to work together?
I regularly work as an content creator and influencer for brands like Winsor&Newton, Tombow, Royal Talens, Ohuhu, Posca & Edding, as well as affiliate collaboration with several creative webshops.
As a content creator I share my creative knowledge on Instagram and host workshops, tutorials or demonstrations on events. I also write a blog & newsletter where I share my nerdy insights about materials and life as an illustrator.
