I'd love to illustrate books one day. Nothing too famous – just stories that feel warm and a bit silly. Maybe even write and draw my own little book

I love drawing – portraits, cityscapes, whatever catches my eye. I'm also learning to paint with watercolours and acrylics, so my room is full of half‑finished sketches. Sometimes I cycle to the park and draw people walking their dogs.

I'm Kate, 18 from the Netherlands. I live in a flat with big windows that let in lots of grey light – perfect for drawing. I'm pretty calm and patient, but I get really focused when I have a pencil in my hand.

I think the best friendships are like a good sketch – you don't rush them, you build them layer by layer. I'm not great at big parties, but I treasure deep talks over hot chocolate. I try to be honest and show up when it matters.
