Mimi's Newsletter - I'm Going On A Trip! (Patreon)

Hello my creative friends!

I hope your week is going well. It's been quite an exciting week for me as my brother and his girlfriend have come down to stay with us in Tasmania, my first illustrated picture book was released on Wednesday, and I'm going away on a little trip on Saturday!

I'm going on a hiking trip for a week on Saturday so I'll likely be without internet for a week. I should be back around the 27th though in time for the end of the month, so if you're joining the illustration club this month feel free to share at any time in the Discord channels and chat amongst yourselves!

There have been so many lovely sketchbook pages, compositions and even some final illustrations so go and take a peek, share your own and support one another 🥰

If you have a picture of what you created for activity 1 that you'd like to share, you can put it in the #filling-a-sketchbook-page channel, if you have a picture of something for activity 2 you can share it in the #exploring-compositions channel, and if you have a picture of your final illustration you can share it in the #final-illustrations channel. Share any of the activities at any time before the end of the month - no rush!

I'll be checking in on Discord when I get back next weekend to see all of your lovely creations!

Also this week my first ever picture book that I illustrated got released to the public which is really exciting! It's called The Love That Grew and when I get back I'll make a post about the creative process and how I took the text and created sketches and then final illustrations.

If you'd like to get a copy for yourself it's available in major bookshops in Australia and if you're overseas then Book Depository does international delivery: https://www.bookdepository.com/Love-That-Grew-Sarah-Ayoub/9781460761113

I'm looking forward to spending a week outdoors next week! It's autumn now so the weather is cooling down but is still sunny a lot of the time. We've been going on picnic lunches on sunny days which is always really nice!

Hope you all have a lovely, creative week next week, and I'll see you all when I get back!🥰
