D: Drawing

Two weeks ago, we gathered live on YouTube to draw an adorable Christmas Pudding together step-by-step (here is the replay link).

For some people, this was their FIRST Procreate drawing experience, and their first kawaii creation 🥰

For others, it was an introduction into making a drawing your own and adding different themes.

Both groups enjoyed it!

Here are a few Christmas Pudding cuties that were born that day:

So beautiful! I loved every moment.

Thank you for being in my world and creating with me ❤️

R: Resource

I wanted to play around with animating my drawings.

Image if a kawaii character gave you a wink! 😉

The best program (that I know of) to do this is Procreate Dreams.

So I jumped onto Skillshare and found this Procreate Dreams class by Jutta Schneider, which is EXCELLENT for getting started.

If you are curious about animating your drawings, I highly recommend it.

​Procreate Dreams - Elevate Your Social Media Content With Simple Animations​

Fun fact: a week after taking her class, I connected with Jutta Schneider on Instagram and it's like we've known each other forever! We really clicked 🥰

She is even coming as a guest to our Happy Creators Collective community early next year!!

So exciting 🥳

A: Affirmation

This is one of my favorite drawings on the internet 👇 (I don't know the author... let me know if you do!).

A reminder that your history is not your destiny 😊

So here is this week's affirmation:

W: Wonder

I am doing a course on "Storytelling" for social media.

The teacher invited us to reflect on what we spend most of our day doing, because that's where our best stories are.

This was a confronting question!

What DO I spend most of my day doing?

Is it aligned with where I want to go?

Do I ENJOY doing it?

Ooooh!

This question was insightful in more ways than just a story for social media 😆

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

Have a beautiful week! ❤️

Warm regards,
Tatyana
