Pinup Tales: Digital Art & Character Storytelling
40+ videos and 10 hours of content to bring your pinup characters to life
Struggling to Bring Your Characters to Life Digitally?
If your characters feel flat or your scenes lack impact, you're likely missing structure in your rendering and storytelling.
Pinup tales: digital art & character storytelling is designed to help you take your work further, using digital tools to build stronger, more expressive pinup characters with clarity and intention.
You’ll learn how to render your characters in Procreate, use lighting and color effectively, and design scenes with clear mood, personality, and narrative. The focus is on developing a structured digital workflow so you can move from sketch to polished, finished artwork with more control and consistency.
Let’s bring your pinup stories to life, one character at a time!
Hello, I am Deuza!
My name is Bastiaan Ruys also known as Deuza! I’m a professional pinup artist based in the south of France, specializing in both traditional and digital techniques. My journey into pinup art began 6 years ago, and since then, I’ve sold my work worldwide, both online and at conventions.
In addition to creating art, I have a background in teaching, having previously guided students through the fundamentals of drawing.
Every year, I host the Pinuptober challenge, where I create a new pinup illustration every day throughout October. This event has gained significant recognition and continues to grow in popularity.
While I enjoy working digitally, my focus has recently shifted toward traditional media, particularly pencils and alcohol markers, which allow me to bring depth and vibrancy to my illustrations. My original drawings have found homes across the globe, and I take great pride in sharing my passion for pinup art with collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Inside this course, you’ll learn how to use Procreate to develop, refine, and complete your characters step by step, combining digital techniques with strong visual storytelling.
I’ll guide you through the workflow so you can create more polished, expressive pinup art.
