Hey Reader,

As I write this, I am preparing to teach one of my favorite topics at the Happy Creators Collective – color, and finding your unique palette.

If you would like to be part of this LIVE Masterclass (Sunday, 5pm ET with recording available after), join us at the Collective!​

With that, welcome to this week's DRAW Newsletter 😊

Inside, you will find:

• D: drawing to inspire you

• A: affirmation of the week
• W: wonder – a question to wonder about

Let's DRAW!

February 1, 2026

D: Drawing

I don't get tired of making art. If anything, my challenge is making more time for it 😄

One reason, I think, is because the process opens a space for me, where time and thoughts don't exist. Just presence.

The other reason is because making something beautiful improves space.

Last week I shared first sketches of my Eddy the Eggplant character (his full name is Eduard, but he goes by Eddy).

Along with my sketches, I shared a few character sketches by our Happy Creators Collective members.

Here they are:

And then I received this comment on YouTube that absolutely made my day!!!!!

That's powerful.

That's art that changes the world.

I would love to support you in creating art that's meaningful to you, and sharing it with the world!

Happiness is a team sport.

Let's make the world a happier place, one drawing at a time 😊

​Join our mission at the Happy Creators Collective, in time for our next LIVE Masterclass this Sunday.

We'll be learning color theory and doing tonal studies. You'll grasp color like you never have before!

I hope to see you there 😊

R: Resource

I was recently a guest on the Light Heart Vision podcast. We had an insightful conversation about creativity as our birthright.

Just as we went LIVE, the power in my house went out 😆. It must have been a very potent conversation, hehe. We still made it happen!

A: Affirmation

I used to believe in superstitions... Now, I don't give them energy.

If you believe it, you make it real.

Any thought or belief that limits your power is not a friend.

So here is this week's affirmation:

W: Wonder

In addition to thoughts affecting our reality, words cary great power too.

World create worlds.

For example, "I am not good at drawing" vs "I am working on my drawing skills".

Same exact information.

But the first version makes you want to give up.

The second version informs you that you are in the process of acquiring skills.

So here is this week's question to wonder about:

Have a beautiful week! 😊

Warm regards,
Tatyana
