Welcome to my Patreon - Introduction (Patreon)

Hi!! 🤗

First, I want to thank you so much for joining my Patreon! It means the world to me, and I'm very thankful for your support! 🥰

I hope you will enjoy your time here creating with us. If you have any questions about Patreon, please let me know! I'm happy to help anytime!

To get you started immediately, I want to introduce you to some of the features I'm offering when you join the 'Get Inspired' tier.

✨ Weekly reference images

Every Monday, I will post 5 reference images for you to draw from to get that creative flow going. Including pictures, I took during my travels. If you'd like to, you can show your results in the group chat, so we can motivate each other to start and keep sketching and give each other some inspiration on how to approach an image. 🤗

At the end of every week, I will try to share a post with all my final illustrations based on the reference images of that week. I will also share my process for one of the reference images. Here you can see:

✨ Monthly Blog Posts

Every first Monday of the month I will post a blog post about subjects, like my favorite materials, color palettes, behind-the-scenes, sketchbook flip-through, and other frequently asked subjects!

✨ Closest friends list

If you'd like, I can add you to my closest friends list on Instagram for exclusive behind-the-scenes content about my art style journey and other things I'm up to in my life. You will see more of my sketches and drawing process. I will also explain more about my approach to the weekly reference images.

For this, I need your Instagram handle to add you to my closest friends list. I will ask for it in a direct message. Below, I will talk about where to find the direct message chats.

✨ Access to our community chats

We currently have 2 group chats:

Reference Illustrations group chat: For sharing your sketches from the reference images I share weekly. This way we can learn from each other and get inspired by how others approach the references!

General inspiration chat: For sharing anything regarding your creative process. Things you learned in art classes, drawing hacks, whatever you want to share because you want to get that motivation going or help others.

I will also participate in the group chats and share my work with you!

✨ Access to polls

I will share weekly and monthly polls. This way, I can see more about what kind of content you would like me to share. In these polls, I will ask you about, for example:

Preferred reference image subjects for the upcoming week.

Preferred Blog Post subjects for the upcoming month(s).

❤️ Sharing your work

If you'd like to, you can show your work in our 'Reference Illustrations’ chat to inspire others, get feedback, or just get some motivation to keep drawing✨

If you post your work on Instagram stories, make sure to tag my account, so I can see!

You can also use our hashtag #creativeflowingtogether so everyone else can see your work too! 🤗
