Hello again! 🌼 I hope you're all enjoying your Friday 😌
Here is this month's draw with me video! ✨ In this video I'll be working on coloring and rendering my kookaburra sketches which you saw a few days ago 🐣 I've never drawn birds before, so I felt a little uncertain about how the process would go but I ended up figuring out a fun way to render them and I'm happy with the result! 🙈 In the video I'll also be chatting with you guys about where I'm at with m...

Hello everyone & happy Friday! 😍✨
This week was a busy one with lots of drawing, filming, editing, and working on a brand new step-by-step tutorial for you! 🥳 Over the months I’ve been gradually adding to a little library of tutorials focused on hair (since it’s such a broad topic! 🙈), and now here is a tutorial all about braids! This is the first time I’ve made a step-by-step with a part 1 and

Hello everyone & happy Wednesday! 😍
Here’s a little sneak-peek of a portrait sketch I’ve been working on to practice drawing hair and braids! 😌 I’ve always felt like braids add so much detail & volume to a hair style and there are lots of ways to stylize them, so I decided to start working on a step-by-step tutorial for you guys about how to draw & stylize braids! 🥰 I used to feel like braids ...

Hello everyone & happy Friday! ☺️⛱
This morning I felt like doing some animal studies because it’s been awhile since I drew some animals, and I realized I never draw birds! So here are some sketch studies of the kookaburra bird 🥰🐦 I’m planning on coloring these and filming the coloring process for this month’s draw with me video! 💛 I always find coloring animals to be so therapeutic and relaxing, so I’ll share that process wit...

Here is the real-time process of sketching my jean jacket girl at the beach! ⛱ It's a 38 minute video that I screen-recorded in real-time so you guys can see my full screen while I draw, and at a much slower pace!

Hello again! 😌✨
Today I felt so inspired by all the possibilities of the things I can draw now that Mermay is over and I’m no longer drawing mermaids! 🙈 so I started a new sketch of a character with a beach background, using a couple references you saw in the mood boards from today’s newsletter! 💌☺️
It’s been a while since I’ve drawn a background with a character in it, so it’s going to be a bit of a challenge 😅 but as a special reward for...

Here's a little drawing process video for you to enjoy this weekend 💌 This drawing was sooo much fun but it was also a bit of a challenge! 🙈 I rarely do redraws so something I discovered while drawing is that it felt like I couldn't stray too far from the original, and I felt unsure of certain ideas and concepts I wanted to try out in case the redraw would end up looking too different. 😅 But then I realized that's the point of ...
