Hi there, I’m Koosje!

pronounced "Kōsha”

I’m an artist and creative entrepreneur living in the Netherlands. I love drawing and I do it every day. On this website, I hope to inspire you to develop a drawing habit too, because it can make you feel good.

Sketchbook Tour - Last sketchbook of 2021

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today I am showing you my latest Sketchbook. I finished it at the end of 2021, and it's filled with lockdown selfies and drawings from new angles.

I fill about a sketchbook a month, because I prioritize my sketchbook practice.

The creative process gives a sense of accomplishment, after which you can do other things with more ease and a sense of joy.

I am currently in the process of making a book about drawing: Life is better when you draw it. It'll be in English and it's filled with motivation and inspiration for your drawing practice.

Sign up for the Book Progress email list so I can keep you posted: https://www.koosjekoene.com/book

If you like my free weekly videos, then please consider backing me on Patreon. You'll will be helping me to keep consistently making Draw Tip Tuesday videos, and making them available for everyone for free: https://www.patreon.com/koosjekoene

I added a bunch of extra benefits for patrons, like patron-only content, weekly recommended videos, bonus inspiration and live drawing parties.

Thank you for considering to support me, it means a lot!
