New Video!
Drawing in Júzcar
In this video, I head into the mountains of Southern Spain to explore Júzcar, also know as the Smurf Village or as the Blue Village.
Bright blue houses, playful murals, and characters around every corner, it feels stepping into another world. But instead of just exploring, I decide to slow things down...sit, obsertve, and draw.
I sketch a dear statue that caught my eye in the village and later finish the piece at home using watercolor pencils, ink, and acrylic markers. Turning a moment from the trip into a finished artwork.
This video is about the experience: the ride, the place, and the creative process.
From 3D paper art to drawing, coloring, and flipbook animation, each tutorial guides you step by step as flat ideas turn into playful handmade pieces. The pace is intentionally slow, giving you time to explore color, layering, and movement while learning through hands-on practice.
Most of all, this space is about having fun and staying motivated. There's no pressure to be perfect and no rush to finish. Just creative curiosity, cozy making sessions, and the joy of bringing paper artwork to life by hand.
A closer look inside the tutorial
Simple tools you already have
You don't need fancy art supplies, expensive equipment, or a studio full of tools to get started here. These tutorials are built around creativity, motivation, and fun! Not perfection or pricey materials.
The whole idea behind my paper art tutorials is to remove pressure. No stress about buying "the right" supplies. No waiting until you can afford better tools. If you've got a table, some paper, and a bit of curiosity, you're ready to create.
Most tutorials us basic tools and materials that people already have at home, such as:
• Paper or cardstock
• Scissors and craft knife
• Glue, adhesive tape
• Pens, markers, or pencils
• Ruler (metal for cutting)
• 3D foam board or 3D stickers
If something extra is needed, it's always mentioned clearly before you start.
Tools & materials
3D paper art tutorials
These focus on cutting, layering, and building depth. You'll mainly use paper or cardstock, scissors and a craft knife, glue, adhesive tape and 3D foam or 3D stickers. Most 3D paper art tutorials comes with a printable template.
Draw a character & coloring tutorials
Perfect if you just want to relax and draw. All you need is paper and your favorite pens, markers, or pencils. These are about expression and style, not flawless technique.
Flipbook tutorials
Flipbook tutorials are all about turning simple drawings into motion using nothing more than paper and a bit of patience. You'll work with printed flipbook templates that are free to download directly from the tutorial then bring them to life using glue, a craft knife, a a cutting mat. Elastics are used to bind the pas together, keeping everything nest while you animate your flipbook by hand. The process is simple, playful, and hands-on, focusing on creativity and fun rather than perfect results expensive tools.
