November Update + INPRNT Code (Patreon)

I hope everyone had a great Halloween!! I have a few things I'd like to discuss for November (and onward!) 

But before that, I have two quick notes:

• This month's code for 15% off of my print store is 3UF3TOF8 - but on that note, please keep in mind that INPRNT usually runs a pretty good Black Friday sale, so you might want to wait and see what kind of deal they run this year (I think last year was 30% off)! I'm not sure whether my code will be stackable, but I think it'd be worth a try!
• I noticed that a few new patrons signed up at the very end of the month (hello and thank you!) If this was you and you were unexpectedly charged twice within a couple of days, please feel free to message me if you'd like me to refund the first charge!

As for Patreon-related updates, I'm thinking about trying some new things soon!:

• Most importantly: starting in December, I'm planning on switching sketchbook updates from a weekly schedule to a bi-weekly schedule, meaning there will be two more robust sketchbook posts per month rather than four smaller ones.
• Something a little more fun this time - I'd like to start writing more in depth drawing guides. Basically, instead of only posting illustration processes, I'd also like to write occasional informational posts that dive into specific topics and provide you with information that you can hopefully carry over into your own work. (The one I'm planning right now is a guide to skirt ruffles/folds! I'm hoping to have it posted this month, but at the latest it should be up next month)
• This one will be a little further in the future, but I'm considering trying something like stationery printables, where I'll design little pages that you can print out and write on!

As far as personal news goes, I'm in talks to create something *super* fun that I can't wait to tell you about! It will be a merch item that I've been wanting to make for a long time! I'm not sure how much I'll be able to reveal in the coming months, but I hope you'll look forward to it!

Also, as a side note, we're still being found by lost animals. Not a cat this time, though! It was... a parakeet!? We found him wandering around my car in the parking lot, and as soon as he saw us he came running over. We weren't able to locate the owners, but he has since been placed in a trusted multi-parakeet home and will be getting vet visits and a slow introduction to his new friends. Here's a pic from when we first found him:

Have a great month!!
