Added 2024-01-03 18:51:23 +0000 UTCHi everyone! π₯° I hope youβre all having a lovely day:)
Now that things are finally slowing down from the holidays, I can sit down and write this newsletter for you π So letβs talk about whatβs happening this month!
Decorating my studio space:
In 2023 I started reading books again and now itβs become one of my absolute favorite hobbies! βΊοΈ Bookstores and Barnes & Nobles are my happy places right now haha π And after months and months of reading and getting new books, it was finally time give all my books a home and get a bookshelf β so I got one from Ikea to put in my studio space! π
The bottom shelf is for all my art books Iβve collected over the years and the rest are novels:) The top two shelves arenβt full yet so Iβll fill those over the course of this year as I read new books βΊοΈ
I also built a book nook to put on the bookshelf, and itβs like an adorable tiny greenhouse that looks like a mini world and I love it π₯² I have another one Iβm going to build soon too! Iβve been having so much fun redecorating, I really wanted to start off the year with a refreshed workspace and now it feels extra cozy for drawing and filming π
Sketching:
Currently Iβm sketching a book character from a fantasy book called Heavenly Bodies! The characterβs name is Enzo and heβs a prince with fire abilities ππ₯ Itβs such a magical book and I totally recommend it if you enjoy stories with a mix of astrology, magic, witty banter and star-crossed love π
Iβll be screen-recording the full real-time coloring process of him, so stay tuned for that video coming soon! π€
New year plans:
Towards the end of last year I think I entered my fantasy era; I just love drawing magical characters, princesses & princes and other fantasy-themed content βΊοΈ This month I want to continue exploring drawing magical things, book characters, and more movie scenes too :) I just love creating art that feels like it has a story attached to it π
Iβm excited to start a new month with you guys and dive into all the new content! π What kinds of things are you guys working on this month? π
Have a lovely day everyone!! :)

bookstores are the greatest, i totally feel you! absolutely love decorating my bookshelves and am now adding heavenly bodies to my list :) iβm trying to really move out of my comfort zone and practice more dynamic full body poses and expressions. working on a couple of character sheets right now of OCs, itβs tough but definitely getting good practice π
