Beginner's Guide to Whimsical Illustrations
MASTER WHIMSICAL ILLUSTRATION WITH 25+ VIDEO LESSONS AND 8+ HOURS OF CONTENT.
“Whimsical art is for everyone!”
For a long time, I doubted if my art was "professional" enough. I worried that my playful, childlike style wouldn’t be taken seriously compared to other traditional art forms. But when I started sharing my work online, I realized that people connected with it deeply. That it made them feel comforted, seen, and reminded them of simpler, sweeter times. That’s when I realized, whimsical art isn’t just for kids. It speaks to the inner child we all carry inside of us.
I hope by creating this course I can help you explore and remember that part of yourself through digital painting. As we practice my techniques of layering textures, playing with vibrant colors, and building gentle stories, you can bring entire worlds to life. Showing you step-by-step how to create your first whimsical illustration.
Unlock the magic of digital painting, today!
Hello, I am Kristen Maala!🎨
I am a Filipina illustrator and content creator!
For the past 3 years, I have been a full-time, self-taught artist with a passion for creating whimsical and nostalgic illustrations. My work revolves a lot on nature, childhood nostalgia, and gratitude. Recently, I had the opportunity to illustrate two books for authors, allowing me to bring their stories to life.
From my little bedroom studio, I document my comfy art journey, share my creative process on my Instagram and growing Youtube channel where I get to connect and inspire a lovely community of art enthusiasts.
Whimsical art is more than just playful drawings or bright colors, it's a way of seeing the world with wonder again. It’s a reminder that you’re allowed to create without pressure, to express your inner child's imagination unapologetically. In this course, I’ll show you step-by-step how to create your first whimsical illustration. Through my techniques of layering textures, playing with vibrant colors, and building gentle stories, you can bring entire worlds to life.
