Hi everyone! Someone on my channel mentioned that I should do a film star, and I thought that since I haven’t really done any celebrities in a long time - why not! I chose Emma Stone as the first one. I really enjoy her performance (and have yet to see her in the Cruella movie).  Although the person in the comments mentioned I should do it with charcoal, I realized I didn’t have any at home and so I reached for what I had and what I most enjoy. So it’s the stylized thick and thin lines, and vibrant watercolors. I hope you enjoy this. Please watch the video and if you like it, share it!  Thank you and have a great day! Kate  

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to share with you something that is near and dear to me. Something that is a big part of my life, yet something I haven't paid much attention to in over a decade. That is fashion illustration.  Watch:  Fashion Portrait n.1 in an upcoming series HOW I GOT TO FASHION ILLUSTRATION I studied fashion design and absolutely loved the amount of art that the 4 years of studies provided! I especially appreciate learning anatomy and how to draw portraits. That is something that has stayed with me. The whole fashion thing sort of fell off the table because I wasn't a good seamstress, and there weren't really any opportunities in my country for fashion designers, much less for fashion illustrators. So I kept art as my hobby, occasionally making some money doing custom portraits. I also ventured into other areas, such as digital and vector art, but always seemed to come back to the traditional hand rendering. There is just something special ab

Hi everyone! I love drawing portraits! And it so happens that it’s one of those things I choose to draw just to relax, when I have a free moment, or after a long day. There hasn’t been much thought prior to drawing them, but as they started looking more like a collection, I decided they deserve their own publication and so I compiled them and turned them into a coloring book. Tadaa! Here it is! Artwork from random moments of 2018-2021. If you like to color, check out the samples + here is a link to the book on Amazon.  Portraits of Women Coloring Book contains 40 beautiful and diverse hand-drawn, all original and unique portraits of women, and it will be fun for adults, teens and girl alike. Added is a dedication to buyers in the beginning and 3 quotes from the Bible inside the book. Please, if you read this, leave a comment below. And please, if you purchase the book, leave a review on Amazon + share your colored-in page on your social media and tag me @kateholloman. It helps me trem

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great December so far! We have seen both the snow and felt the heat of the sun during a clear day. With Christmas approaching, I would like to share with you about my coloring books which I know will make for beautiful gifts! Far Above Rubies - a Coloring Companion to a Personal Bible Study on Proverbs 31:10-31 To get it, click here! This coloring book focuses on the passage from Proverbs 31:10-31 about the virtuous wife. You will find illustrations for each verse plus some additional portraits. Each page is left blank on the back so that if you choose to frame your colored-in piece, you can take the page out without sacrificing another image. Proverbs 31 is a wonderful passage written by Lemuel's mother to her son to seek what's precious in the God's sight - a woman who fears the Lord. As you color the pages and think on the verses, see not only the woman and her character, but her marriage, her family life, her work life,

Hi everyone! The summer passed and fall is here. And I have an announcement! I just recently released my new art channel called "Fun Little Art" that is dedicated to drawing videos for children. If you have kids around you who love to draw, share these with them! I'm sure they will enjoy them and maybe even learn ;) HOW IT CAME ABOUT I have had my main "Kate Holloman" channel for years. Even though my channel is primarily about art, it became popular because of a video of my husband and then 8mo son (it's pretty cute), but it seems like all the people that watch that video and subscribe to my channel don't really have any expectation to see art videos so those aren't watched as much. What a bummer! So I decided that it might be worth a try to have a channel that is clearly only about one thing and people won't be confused. And since I am a mom of two kids, drawing for them is something I do a lot anyway. Then I saw some other channels

We all come to moments when exhaustion and the feeling of being completely overwhelmed are bigger than anything. We want to be able to relax and regain our senses, but if a way to do that hasn’t been presented to us, it can be hard to think one up. For some people, a way to relax is through meditation, petting an animal, for some through watching TV, or it can be listening to music, even cleaning, or physical exercise, a walk in nature, intentional photography, or through being creative. Let’s talk about how art can help you relax! WHY ART If you consider yourself an artist, you already know how soothing it can be to sit down to your artwork and get to it. If you are not an artist, but are considering art, let me explain what creating art does to a person. 1.  It stops your thoughts – that’s right. Somehow, when your mind is overwhelmed with bunches of thoughts, drawing stops the thinking process. Your brain focuses on the hand-eye coordination and not on solving ot
