My name is Dina Norlund and I am an illustrator and character designer from Norway. Most of my career has been focused on design, so when I illustrate I apply what I know of designing and problem solving that I learned as a concept artist. I'm inspired by nature, magic and kids' imagination. I often draw on stories from my own childhood memories when creating my projects and books.
I work primarily in Procreate on an iPad Pro 12.9” (2020) with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil. But I also enjoy experimenting with pencil, pen and watercolor. If you wish to see my process in more detail visit my CZcams channel: czcams.com/users/dinanorlund or catch me live on Twitch: www.twitch.com/dinanorlund

Rest in Peace, Queen❤
I'm new here. I'm truly sorry to see this type of news. May Dina rest in peace. She had a sweet voice and her tips/tricks are very inspirational ❤️
😢❤❤❤❤😢
wow!! this is soo cool and i do this with a weel and ive gotten so far a owl, lion, swallow and jaguar, panda, starfish and falcon, squid, chinchila and bear, cobra, scorpian... and im ten and i really like it and its on pen and paper and yours are sooo amazing!!!
I used to watch her a few years ago but Rest In Peace Dina, you’ve inspired me so much (and likely other ppl)
Been wanting to make my childhood dream of making a monster TCG and found this video. I am so saddened to hear that the creator of this video passed on to the next realm. As another female who loves monsters and fantasy, I was hoping to befriend and network with Dina. I bet she was an amazing person. So imaginative and creative and very kind to produce this how-to for all of us to see. Thank you.🙏🏼 ☁️🌌🌒🌕🌘🌌☁️
Syv!!

i love this that's a shame i got to know after You died... Your art is awesome, fly high, Dina 🕊️
How draw plant, I don't know how draw plant
this was the first video by dina that i watched. through her, i got back into watercolor after years away from it. i looked through the description of this video and bought the pencil she sketched this in. i started sketching in eraseable colored pencil after looking at her other work. dina changed the way i paint. 5 years later, i still see the inspiration i took from this series in my style. every time i paint fish, i look at the way she drew fins. my heart still gets caught in my throat. i remember following her on instagram while this series of mermay illustrations were still coming out. she made me want to try pole dancing as a form of exercise. watching her progress was inspiring. the day that the news of her passing was posted, for whatever reason, the first thing i thought of was that i'd never see her posting her progress on the pole again. i never got around to trying it. rest in peace, dina. i can't imagine the turmoil your family went through after your passing. i still think about your work. i hope it means something that you live on through the art and audience you left behind. you inspired me
I haven't been on her channel in a few years, I was just thinking of her when my friend was needing inspiration for some creature trading cards she was making.... Dina is an amazing artist, she inspired me so much. Rest in peace.
Goodbye dina. 😢
Hi there. Thanks for the tour. What is that sheer paper that you use to prevent the paint from smearing to the other facing page?
Art is not subject to the Geneva Convention. If someone wants to paint with his dick on the kitchen table using ketchup and tobasco, then whose to say it's not by the rules? What rules? Whose rules?
I just discovered this channel, and the first video I watched was "Where have I been? A little update & speedpaint." This video is the second one I watched. I'm was deeply saddened to read this.
Sometimes i i trace the base sketches only then i just use a reference!
miss you...
She is not in this world anymore and I am so sorry.😢
<3 so cool girl
you can call me Zoe
cool way to draw (amazing way to draw)
I didn't know she passed away 😢😢 rest in peace 🕊️
2024 anyone? This design is amazing 😍.
It warms my heart to the fullest to see this beautiful community she built and inspired. She will forever be an inspiration to me and I hope the new book achieves all the goals Dina would have wanted for it. Much love ❤️
I miss her. :(
This artist has passed away.... I had no idea. Im just beginning my art journey, and I needed some knowledge on how to co-create my own curriculum and her video came in my feed. I went over to her Ig link, and discovered she is no longer here.... IT SUCKS, cuz she literally helped me so much in initializing my learning process.......
RIP Dina 😔❤
Hvil i fred Dina🕊️
have you done a blobfish mermaid?
Hvil i fred Dina. Skal huske å skrive minst en gang hvert år🕊️
Rewatching your videos when I’m stressed with my life.. I miss you and your creativity so much. Rest in Peace mama
I always have a hard time processing that people are gone, so sometimes I come back here, and I watch her videos. I never remember that she's gone till I see the last one, and I don't think I'll really understand how much she meant to me myself when she's the first person I've really ever grieved before. When I was younger I wanted to grow up and meet her. Here's hoping I still meet her one day.
I just discovered her recently by watching her ransom creature videos and started to look up when suddenly she just died and i got really sad, She already gave me enough inspiration to art, Let her soul rest peacefully.
I must get it!!!!!
Every time you say it, I keep hearing as “the stuck up prince” 😅
I'm glad she left everyone with something to remember her by. I always loved to watch her random creature episodes. She'll be dearly missed.
Today is the day the world lost an amazing artist exactly one year ago… Through you, dear Dina, I found my love for watercolours. I still cherish your videos dearly and watch them with a teary eye. You might be gone but you are always present. You are present in everything you created, in everyone you touched and inspired with your art and videos and you are also present in my art which might not exist if it weren’t for you (not the way it does now) Your spirit will always continue to live on✨
I actually agree. but on the other hand if you are aware of the pros/cons of tracing and still want to do it, just use a copyright free image and ignore the prejudice of pro artists.
RIP i just stumbled across her page today she seemed to be a very kind and talrnted young woman
I pray you are in heaven today Dina, thank you for the beautiful video. May God bless everyone who watches this video!
I fell in love with Dina’s creature designs when I first watched them as a younger girl. Her use of color and concept inspired me deeply and gave me a more creative outlook on life and art. She made the world more beautiful and truly unique to look at and I’m so grateful I had found her when I did. It’s 2024 now and I just started getting back into watercolor and have a creature design assignment in one of my classes. My mind quickly went to Dina and her random creature designs. Thank you for living when you did and creating when you could. You made the world more beautiful to look at and you will be missed greatly.🖤
Hey there 2 words that stood out to me Artist AND digital nomad. At the stage in my life where last month gave away 1 boot full of stuff to charity. - felt SO GOOD. Another boot to go. I am a female Artist with grownup children whose first business venture was Handmade greeting cards- did really well. Then started drawing and painting again. Decluttering while watching videos. 😊
I miss her art so much. She’s the one that really inspired me to be more creative with my art, and how to even begin to make beautiful creatures like that. Rest in peace, Dina.
This service seems to be just for the UK. Does anyone have any recommendations to print in the states?
My deepest condolences. I really loved her art and her as a person, she was truly a big inspiration to me and everyone around her.
