ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY + May Calendar (Patreon)

Today marks the one year anniversary of this PATREON!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to us!

It has come around so fast and I can’t believe that it is still going after 12 months!

Below: Me.

I started this Patreon as an alternative outlet for sharing the love of gesture drawing with a bigger community. I didn’t know if anyone would be interested or if I’d have enough content to keep going for very long.

But over the last year, the community has grown and the topics that we cover keep growing and growing too.

My favourite thing about sharing gesture drawing with you is the ways that you push me to grow and deepen my understanding with gesture drawing. You challenge me to draw new things, to tackle those things I keep avoiding ( hands :/ ) and to keep coming back to my sketchbook every week.

So a very huge thank you to each and every member, new and old, free and paid, here or gone for now. Without your engagement we wouldn't have this wonderful space to nerd out about gestures and push ourselves to be better artists.

I hope that you have found value in the content I share each week and that it is keeping you on track with your personal learning goals.

Extra special thank you to those who have been with me from day one:

• Stuart

• Michelle

• Elsa

• Julian

• Chantal

• Chip

In celebration of our first birthday, I have a few special events lined up!

Check out the calendar so you don’t miss out on the chance to win some original artwork!
