Happy April! π· + Early Look & Monthly Newsletter π
Added 2022-04-01 18:14:06 +0000 UTCHello everyone and welcome to a new month! π I canβt believe weβre in April already, time is moving so fast hehe π
Itβs currently a very warm & sunny day here and thereβs some beautiful sunshine on my desk while I write this little newsletter to you guys π I wanted to share a sneak-peek of my newest drawing which is inspired by listening to music and that vibe when you just want to stop and listen to it π€π§ I feel like I learned some new things about rendering during the process of this one and I had so much fun with the lighting concept π This weekend Iβll post the full process video for you guys so you can see it all come together from sketch to finish :)
In this post I also shared a little overview of the rewards you can expect this month along with a basic idea of how I plan out my content for each week!
These are the big projects I work on each month and then I share other content in between like sneak-peeks, step-by-step progress photos, PSDβs, etc βΊοΈ Sometimes I change the order of the content a little depending on my mood, but usually this is what it looks like! Itβs sooo important to stay organized as a freelancer to avoid feeling overwhelmed, so it helps me to create time blocks like this each week to divide everything up β¨
Speaking of freelancing, April is always a happy nostalgic time for me because it was the month that I first created a Patreon and began to pursue my art career 3 years ago! π₯° I was still a college student teaching art at an elementary school at the time and then I decided I wanted to draw for a living, and I canβt believe where we are now π₯² Iβm soooo grateful for all of you being here with me on this art journey π€
Stay tuned for our first Feature Friday post coming today where Iβll be taking your suggestions for this monthβs tutorial video as well!! Iβll post it later this evening π₯°
I canβt wait to dive into a new month with you guys and get started on some fun content for you!! Letβs make it a fun month π₯³β¨
Love,
Lydia π

I know I'm a little late commenting on this post, but is there any chance you could do a moodboard challenge or a DTIYS for us patrons at some point? ^^
