Hey Reader,

I've had a busy week... preparing my BEST tutorials & courses to share with you as a Black Friday bundle 🥰.

I am calling it "Kawaii Starter Kit" because it's the exact set of tools you would need to start drawing kawaii art 😊 and become comfortable with the Procreate app.

I am almost ready to share it!

Stay tuned for more details early next week 🥳.

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

Inside, you will find:

• D: drawing to inspire you
• R: resource to create awesome art
• A: affirmation of the week
• W: wonder – a question to wonder about

Yay, let's DRAW!

D: Drawing

This month, our drawing theme the the Happy Creators Collective is gaming-inspired art 🥰.

We are revisiting the old beloved classics, and giving them a fresh look with textures and special effects.

Our first project for the month is Kirby fan art, with delicious retro effects, like halftone dots and worn paper textures. So cute!

Our members had fun with it too! 👇

Would you like to join us for the next masterclass (and browse the entire library of our past tutorials 😊)?

Become part of the Collective!

R: Resource

You know the thrill of discovering something that really REALLY inspires you?

That's how I felt, when I discovered the work of a lettering artist Vinitha Mammen.

Love at first sight!

I found her through Skillshare (while doing research for next month's theme at the Collective, which will be lettering 😊).

So for this week's Resource, I would like to share her class with you. It's called "Mastering Lettering Composition" (on Skillshare). So good.

🔗 Get 1 month of Skillshare and watch Vinitha's class!​

A: Affirmation

For this week's affirmation, I would like to share one of Vinitha's illustrated lettering pieces (told you, I am obsessed with her work 😆).

I really felt this one...

The "You Decide" part at the end makes the biggest difference 😉.

W: Wonder

Here is this week's question to wonder about:

PS: as I typed this, I added a task to my Monday's list to finally contact the lady, who I've been wanting to connect with for weeks 😄.

What small step can you take towards an outcome you desire?

Have a beautiful week!

With love,
Tatyana
