D: Drawing

Last week, I shared the "Gingerbread Family" drawing we created at the Happy Creators Collective 🥰.

This week, we add to our magical gingerbread world ✨ by drawing an adorable Gingerbread House (as a cookie!).

The real fun will be combining our sweet creations into a sellable giftable pattern! 🥳 Coming next week.

All these drawing + pattern tutorials are available to watch on demand inside the Happy Creators Collective tutorial library.

Join our community, and let's create together!

Look at these fun interpretations by our Collective members! 😍

Join the Happy Creators Collective

R: Resource

I want to share my message as far as possible: YOU ARE CREATIVE.

To share the tools (like solid drawing and Procreate skills) that will enable you to create with joy and ease... to express your ideas and share them with the world.

To do this, I recently joined a coaching program that helps creators appear on podcasts.

And... my first ever podcast interview went live this week! 😊

A: Affirmation

Past 2 weeks have been... intense. With not much drawing 🫤.

I found myself feeling uninspired.

Oh my... am I having the dreaded creative block?

Alas, drawing must go on – I have work to do.

Feel it or not, I sat down to work on art for next month's theme at the Happy Creators Collective (it will be Gaming Inspired! 😄).

After a couple of sessions, I was in the flooooow!

It felt as if... during the "pause" my art leveled up.

If I gave into the "blah" feeling, I would have never had the "level up" feeling.

Turns out, it's good to keep creating, ESPECIALLY when you don't feel like it 😄. Just start!!!

So here is this week's affirmation:

W: Wonder

Here is this week's question to wonder about:
