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.

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Today I am showing you my favorite tools.
Not because I think you should run to the store and get the same stuff, but because you asked.
These are the things that found their way into my pencil case and stayed there. Of course I have tried many other tools, and I do swap out pens or pencils every so often, but these seem to be the evergreens. The deserted island things, you know?

If you like my free weekly videos, then please consider backing me on Patreon.
