UPDATE // July has passed by! (Patreon)

The month has almost come to an end! Time to let you guys know how this month has been for me: 

PERSONAL LIFE

July was a rough month for me, sadly. Me and Arjen got sick which was kind of scary, but we both tested negative for covid so that was a relief! I had to take a week off to recover though, and soon after that I heard that my mother and stepfather had tested positive for covid. A couple days after that, I lost my grandfather. He was very old and we knew that he didn’t have long left, so I knew it was coming and that made it less difficult. But the timing was awful with my mom in quarantine. I couldn’t believe that all this was happening at once! I was super overwhelmed, but things are going a lot better now. Me and Arjen recovered and so did my stepfather and mom, with very mild symptoms! When I think of my grandfather, I smile because he had a wonderful life that he lived to the fullest. I didn’t get as much time as I would have liked to draw this month, but I tried to focus on other stuff that was more manageable to do, like sharing tips, info, and insights about my client work.

FIRST Q&A VIDEO

I made my first video where I answer questions and talk about a topic in a kind of improvisational way. I really loved making that for you guys! It felt authentic to share my knowledge in this way and I feel like I was showing more of who I am and what I think, which makes the connection with you guys so much more personal. I definitely want to do more of these kinds of videos in the future! If you have any ideas for topics you’d like me to discuss, just drop them in the comments below. 

OVER 2K PATRONS

This month, we passed 2K patrons! That is so awesome. I really appreciate all the support you guys give and I’m always looking forward to my daily patreon check-in to see what comments and messages you guys have sent. Having this little community truly feels like a safe and warm place for me to return to. Thank you guys so much! I will keep making content for you and doing my best to share knowledge! Next month I’m making a tutorial on face construction and expressions, I hope some of you will stick around to see it!
