Getting Started on Patreon 🌸🤗 (Patreon)

Becoming a member means having access to a lot of content all of a sudden. In this post I will explain what you can expect from all the rewards I post on here. It depends on your tier which reward you will have access to.

At the beginning of every month, I will post a welcome post where I talk you through the theme of that month, an overview of the content I will share, and a personal and illustrations work update. I also put this post in that month's collection, so you can access it at any time, together with all the content I will post that month.

In this post you can find more information about:

Monthly Printable Step-by-Step Worksheet

Art Practice Exercises

Monthly Video Tutorials

Weekly reference images

Monthly Blog Posts

Closest friends list

Access to our community chats

Access to polls

Sharing your work

Other good-to-know-things to navigate through Patreon

Here you can see which reward will be available for you: 

✨ Monthly Printable Step-by-Step Worksheet

Once a month, I post a printable PDF showing you exactly how to create a specific illustration from the base layer to the final details. This PDF includes:

The materials I used

Colour swatches for each step

Easy to follow instructions

A pre-drawn sketch of the illustration, so you can start right away without worrying about proportions.

You can find all printable worksheets here: Printable Worksheets

✨ Art Practice Exercises

Once a month, I will share an art practice exercise post. I create these exercises to help you sharpen your skills and boost your creativity. 

You can find all art practice exercises here: Art Practice Exercises

✨ Monthly Video Tutorials

Every month, I post 3 video tutorials where you can draw along as I walk you through my process using a reference image. Two video tutorials include peaceful music, helpful subtitles with tips & tricks, the colors you’ll need, and the reference image we’re drawing from. One video tutorial includes the same things, but then with a voice-over!

Good to know: When you are a member of Creative Practice Boost or Creative Practice Boost Plus, you will get all 3 video tutorials a month. If you are a member of Creative Practice - Tutorials, you will get 2 video tutorials a month, without a voice-over.

You can find all video tutorials here: Video Tutorials

✨ Weekly reference images

Every Monday, I will post some reference images for you to draw from to get that creative flow going. On the same day, I will share a post with all my final illustrations based on the reference images of that week, including a step-by-step guide about how to draw these illustrations. I will share with you the materials I used, my baselayers and final illustrations.

If you’d like to, you can show your results in our ‘Reference Illustrations’ group chat, so we can motivate and inspire each other on how to approach a reference

You can find all references here: Reference Illustrations

✨ Monthly Blog Posts

Every month I will post a Blog Post about all kinds of subjects, like my favorite materials, how I created my color palette, behind-the-scenes, sketchbook flip-throughs, and other frequently asked subjects!

You can find all previous blogposts here: Blog Posts

✨ 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 on there.

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 4 group chats (depending on your membership):

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!

Creative Practice - Tutorials & Exercises: For sharing your work inspired by the tutorials & exercises I post.

Small talk: I created this chat to have a little space where we can casually chat, get to know each other, and share a bit of our creative journeys. 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.

This is the perfect place to:

✨ Introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your art journey

✨ Share what you’re working on this week

✨ Ask questions, share tips, or get feedback

✨ Celebrate small wins and stay motivated together

Theme chat: A chat for theme's that come up during the year.

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

You can find all the chats here: Group Chats

✨ Access to polls

I will share 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).

Preferred Video Tutorial references

❤️ Sharing your work
