The 4th day of the 8 day challenge of the #abundantartshow. I placed my favourite portraits in a room of The National Portrait Gallery. They belong there, don't you think😀 These are the portraits of people I admire the most, and who really inspire me. #nationalportraitgallery #portraits #karinmerx #context #drawing #painting

I publicly commit to the 8 day challenge of The Abundant Artist. This portrait is the illustration that graces the cover of Sacerdos, a brilliant novel written by @elizawriter I love ❤️ my work as artist illustrator. #AnundantArtshow #8daychallenge #karinmerx #illustration #portrait #coverillustration

Oldie, life drawing a teenager who was kind of forced to be model. She was so grumpy 😡😁 It was nice to capture that🙃 Charcoal on paper #portrait #karinmerx #portraitcollectors #lifedrawing #illustration

During a meditation, my pencil moved mindless over the paper. This is the result. Don't ask me what it is, it just felt good to do:-) #illustration #meditation #doodle #karinmerx
