Hi there, I’m Koosje!

My book "life is better when you draw it" is now available for you to purchase online.

It's an illustrated book for people who love drawing and need inspiration. It's about how drawing can make you happy and mindful. In the book, I share ways to embrace the daily sketchbook habit, tips, and lots of drawings from my sketchbooks.

I am so happy to finally share it with you!
