Hello lovelies,

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend if you were celebrating 🐰💖 I gave my art studio a little makeover to create a cosy corner for reading art books and doing crafts it's so comfy!

I've been wanting a more analogue option for inspiration rather than browsing Pinterest or social media on my phone, especially because it feels like there's more and more AI generated content now, so I've been collecting some nice art books that I can look through instead.

I'll share a new YouTube video about it this weekend!

I wanted to share what's new on Patreon in case you missed anything:

I've started my Illustration Club again 🎨✨ I'll be sharing some prompt words each month to spark inspiration, and the aim is to draw, paint or sketch something inspired by the prompts by the end of the month. Can't wait!

I made a very cute new wallpaper for phones, desktop and tablets that I'm currently using as my phone homescreen. Download it here.

There's a new tutorial in the catalogue 🖌️ It's a nice, simple one with a few ideas for things you can draw with basic shapes.

I finally finished my tiny sketchbook last month! You can read all about it in the last studio snippets newsletter or watch the full sketchbook tour video on YouTube.

We now have three months of the Creative Illustration Curriculum done, so be sure to visit the full collection of posts if you missed anything - especially the downloadable PDF guides!

Download the new wallpapers for a sweet treat 🍰

What's coming up:

Tomorrow I'll be sharing the art curriculum challenge for this month which is about visual storytelling with interesting character shapes (I think I'll need to watch some Pixar movies as homework for this one)

I'm really keen to draw something for the Illustration Club! I have family visiting this week so I'll probably draw it next week 🪼

Once I've drawn my study for Creative Illustration Curriculum challenge I'll be sharing a walkthrough video with Beautiful Bluebells to share more of my process

I really liked my recent drawing of a silly frog on the moon so I think I'll make some phone wallpapers with them

Plus I'll generally be keeping you up to date with what I'm making!

Let me know if you have any requests for things you'd like me to share or make for us, I always love hearing your suggestions.

💖 Mimi

Hi Mimi! Thank you for all your hard work and wonderful projects! Im loving having the art curriculum and the club back. I was wondering if you could maybe make some advice for how to best use drawing time when its really limited. I work full time with a 4 year old at home and a husband who works shifts so I get very little time or energy to sit and draw. I would love to illustrate children's books one day but really dont like my style and everything I draw feels like a waste of time. I would love tips on how to best use the time you have towards an end goal . I hope that makes sense. And thank you again x
