UPDATE // it's May! (Patreon)

Can't believe April flew by so fast! Something about this lockdown lifestyle is turning time into a blur. How are you guys doing? Are you still hanging in there? Here's how April went for me:  

GETTING OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE

I’ve gotten back to doing animal studies and environments which I’m really enjoying. I haven’t had much space to get out of the comfort zone in the last years so it’s great to be able to do that now and delve back into the learning process! I’m especially excited about the environment pieces, since I haven’t done environments that aren’t studies in a while. I’m so excited to start finalizing the thumbnails!

FILMING FROM HOME

This was my first time filming from home! It was a bit difficult getting the setup to work, but I actually found it quite relaxing to film from my bedroom. It all just felt more natural and casual - as a result I ended up talking even more than I usually do and I think it’s my longest sketchbook tour yet. As with all of this work-from-home stuff, it’s quite an adjustment but there are some hidden perks and upsides that I didn’t expect! 

GETTING YOUR FEEDBACK 

I’ve been posting thumbnail variations in the Patreon feed and asking for your feedback on which one is working best. This is something I’ve almost never done before outside of client work, but it’s really awesome to get your input and ideas on the art. Hearing different perspectives and suggestions really motivates me and helps me come up with new ideas and inspiration. This is something I had no idea I was missing from my life, but I’m so happy that I started doing it. Thanks so much to everyone who gave feedback and pointers!

Thanks everyone who is sticking around for this month too! Your support means a lot to me and I can't wait to create and share it all with you. Stay safe!! ❤
