Happy April! 🌷 + Early Look & Monthly Newsletter 💌
Added 2022-04-01 18:14:06 +0000 UTCHello everyone and welcome to a new month! 😍 I can’t believe we’re in April already, time is moving so fast hehe 🙈
It‘s currently a very warm & sunny day here and there’s some beautiful sunshine on my desk while I write this little newsletter to you guys 😌 I wanted to share a sneak-peek of my newest drawing which is inspired by listening to music and that vibe when you just want to stop and listen to it 🤍🎧 I feel like I learned some new things about rendering during the process of this one and I had so much fun with the lighting concept 😍 This weekend I’ll post the full process video for you guys so you can see it all come together from sketch to finish :)
In this post I also shared a little overview of the rewards you can expect this month along with a basic idea of how I plan out my content for each week!
These are the big projects I work on each month and then I share other content in between like sneak-peeks, step-by-step progress photos, PSD’s, etc ☺️ Sometimes I change the order of the content a little depending on my mood, but usually this is what it looks like! It’s sooo important to stay organized as a freelancer to avoid feeling overwhelmed, so it helps me to create time blocks like this each week to divide everything up ✨
Speaking of freelancing, April is always a happy nostalgic time for me because it was the month that I first created a Patreon and began to pursue my art career 3 years ago! 🥰 I was still a college student teaching art at an elementary school at the time and then I decided I wanted to draw for a living, and I can’t believe where we are now 🥲 I’m soooo grateful for all of you being here with me on this art journey 🤍
Stay tuned for our first Feature Friday post coming today where I’ll be taking your suggestions for this month‘s tutorial video as well!! I’ll post it later this evening 🥰
I can’t wait to dive into a new month with you guys and get started on some fun content for you!! Let’s make it a fun month 🥳✨
Love,
Lydia 💌

I know I'm a little late commenting on this post, but is there any chance you could do a moodboard challenge or a DTIYS for us patrons at some point? ^^
