Happy April! 🌷 + sketches, tier update, & references for you to save 💌 (Patreon)

Hello everyone and happy April! 😍 Everything is starting to feel like spring now and I absolutely love this season 💕

I felt like starting out the month with some outfit sketches so here‘s a little sneak-peek! I’ve been recording the full process for a real-time video for you too 💌 The next step is to start coloring and then I’ll share the full video with you :)

I’ve also included some bonus outfit references in this post for you to save and use for inspiration! It can be tricky to find good references but don’t worry I gotchu guys 😎🫶🏻 I love these kinds of references because they’re great for pose practice, but they’re also amazing for practicing good composition! The references already have interesting compositions laid out so all you have to do is copy what you see and then you can create a really cool character page:) 

If you want to browse more of my references, here’s my Pinterest! 📌 

In other news, this month there‘s a new tier change to the Caring Caterpillar tier! I’ll be discontinuing the reward for monthly features and replacing it with monthly wallpaper packs :) Our community has grown SO much and since there are so many artists here, it‘s difficult to share every single one of you as much as I want to 🧡 I’ve loved sharing your art sooo much for the past 4 years! It was one of my first tier rewards I offered when I first started patreon and it was definitely much easier back then haha 😄 There are still some artists I need to share from last month, so I’ll finish those features this month :)

I still love sharing your art, so if you draw something using the content here on Patreon feel free to tag me and I’ll share your lovely art on my stories! 🧡

So now I’ll be sharing a pack of high-res wallpapers with you each month! I’ll format them for phone backgrounds, tablets, and desktop screensavers 🥰 I might add something additional since I’m in brainstorming mode, I’ll keep you all updated! :)

I’m super excited to dive into a new month with you guys! 😍 I want to do some refreshing things with my content this month so stay tuned 🫶🏻 I love you all and thank you so much for supporting my work!! It truly does mean the world 🥰 Let’s have another fun month together! :)

Love,

Lydia 🤍
