The Illustration Club

I drew a happy kitty with a huge garden harvest for the illustration club prompt words 'cat', 'garden', 'stripes' and 'hat'.

It was so nice to see your illustrations in the community chat here on Patreon, definitely pop over there when you get a chance to see the lovely interpretations of the prompts!

My Creative Illustration Curriculum

In June I explored character poses and how to make an illustration more interesting with more dynamic poses. You can download a pdf guide about the topic here, or see all of my creative curriculum posts here.

Bluebells also have a new walkthrough video where I share my process and thoughts drawing some character poses in my sketchbook and then in Procreate for my Creative Illustration Curriculum challenge.

A New Project Pack

Bluebells can download a new project pack of a happy dandelion drawing I made on a cold morning a few weeks ago!

The project packs include a working file of the illustration (.psd to open in any drawing software), a simple breakdown of the process, a timelapse video, and a colour palette so you can see my drawing process in more detail. Perfect for anyone who's learning digital art and would like a more in-depth look at my process.

Studio Snippets

Take a peek into my new studio space in my latest newsletter 👀

It's a shorter one than usual because I just bought and moved into a new house last month! Can't wait to get my studio set up more permanently, and we're even thinking of building a small art studio in the garden as a dedicated space which would be so lovely.

New YouTube Videos

There are two new videos on my YouTube channel:

A monthly reset where I break down my income from the previous month and plan ahead.

3 reasons why it's never too late to start something.

What's coming up this month:

I'll be sharing new prompt words for the illustration club over the weekend ✏️✨ If you haven't had a chance to illustrate the previous prompts then no problem! Take your time, and feel free to still post them in the community chat 🥰

This month the focus of my Creative Illustration Curriculum is exploring simple storytelling with cute interactions between characters. All three tiers get access to my curriculum so keep an eye out for the July pdf guide that I'll share in the next week or so!

I'm going to finally organise my 10 minute drawing ideas and post the first tutorial this month so that I can slowly start building a catalogue of easy drawing ideas for when you don't have much time to draw.

As always, feel free to share your ideas and recommendations with me as a comment below or in a private DM if you prefer.
