Living your best life – DRAW Newsletter ✏️


Hey Reader,

I hope you are having a good week 😊.

This week, I began work on the next Kawaii Cuties Workshop – a 3-day LIVE drawing experience – that will take place the week of April 14th 🥰.

I am preparing the most adorable Spring-inspired art for us to create over those 3 days! 🧸🥕🍦

I will share all the details in the next 2 weeks.

Yay, exciting!

And now, welcome to the latest issue of our DRAW Newsletter 🥰.

Inside, you will find:

  • D: drawing to inspire you
  • R: resource to create awesome art
  • A: affirmation of the week

D: Drawing

We just wrapped up a month of drawing cute dogs from photos at the Kawaii Drawing Club®.

And not just drawing them – but coming up with ways to bring our art to everyday objects!

Like a fluffy cozy blanket with pillows to match 🥰. Aweee!

If you would like to join us at the Kawaii Drawing Club® on the next round (doors open in April), please join the waitlist to receive an exclusive offer when we open!

Our KDC members enjoyed this project as well 😊 and made a number adorable prints and patterns.

Here is the work of Char of @prettypineapplestudios

Sooooo adorable! 😍

R: Resource

Do you use an iPad stand, when you draw?

I normally use the Benks stand, which is gorgeous and super versatile.

But it's also perfect for holding my iPad, while I record short instructional videos 😆. And I do NOT want to reposition it every time I switch between drawing and recording 😅.

So I am looking for another iPad stand.

Benks is awesome... it's just so expensive to ship to Australia!

I might get something simple for now, like this bamboo stand. I like that it has space on the sides for my hands to rest as I draw.

Do you have any experience with a stand like this?

Do you have any other recommendations? 😊

A: Affirmation

I will ALWAYS remember this.

I was in university – studying computer science.

We had a test the next day... with a teacher, who had a reputation for failing students.

I was in a study group with one of the smartest guys in the class.

I asked him, "Do you think we'll pass the test?"

His answer changed my world!

He said, "It's not about passing or failing. It's about getting an A or not".

That was the moment I learned to think BIG. To set big goals.

It's not about merely passing – it's about going for "the best"!!

So here is this week's affirmation:

I am here to live my best life.

W: Wonder

So, we are here to live our best life... but what does that look like?

That would make a good journaling prompt 😊. And a good general question to reflect on...

Each day, we have a new chance to define what our "best life" is.

So here is the question to wonder about:

I wonder... what will make today an EPIC success? 😄

I forget to start my day with this question... but I will remember now.

Have a beautiful week! ❤️

Warm regards,
Tatyana
