We made it through the first month of 2025!

Added 2025-01-31 15:00:12 +0000 UTC

(Edit: Because I made SO many typos when first releasing this post! lol) This month has felt like it has gone by in a blink and yet, at the same time, like it has lasted about 6 months. 😅

🙏🫂THANK YOU so much for your support in January my loves! Like anyone, I am sometimes (often?) plagued by self-doubt and wondering if what I'm doing will work or matter, but when I remember you guys here believing in me and this art, it helps me push through those times when I doubt, and it helps me keep creating!

Art matters. The process of art matters. The expression and fulfillment of artists creating art matters. And I know many of you here are also artists, so I'm sure you can relate. I'm incredibly honored and humbled to have each of you here on this journey with me!

Dark Cleric absolutely SWEPT the votes, so we are having a shadowheart-themed month! BUT, to keep the rewards from being too repetitive, Breath of Night will be our new HONORARY THANK YOU CARD PRINT.

✨A bit of a stressful February coming up for me!

I will be traveling back to Sweden mid february-early march to finalize the sale of my Sweden apartment, clear the last of everything out, and hand over the keys. 😢 This shortens the amount of time that I'll be able to work on everything that I like to get done here on Patreon, but I've been working hard to try and get stuff prepped a bit early so that there will be the usual tutorial and artworks shared here throughout the month.

But should anything come up that gets in the way of business as usual on this page, you guys will be the first to know!

✨Step-By-Step Written Tutorial!

I am planning on putting together a step-by-step written tutorial that will be a bit of an accompaniment to the Hatching tutorial that was just posted! It will give you the written out steps of how to create your very own hatching brush in Clip Studio Paint!

✨Upcoming Tutorial: Fabric in different poses
Our last tutorial poll resulted in a tie between drawing fabric in different poses and hatching, which actually worked out great, considering I need to start working on February's tutorial early! So our upcoming tutorial will be about drawing fabric in different poses like standing, sitting, and in motion.

Until it is done, make sure to catch up by watching the Drawing Cloth ESSENTIALS tutorial!

✨The New Challenge will be posted for Students on February 1st! We took a break from challenges for January but we will be hosting a new challenge starting in February for students who want to participate and be featured in future challenge showcase videos!

THANK YOU💖

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for all of your support! Each and every one of your pledges and belief in me help keep me going and pursuing this dream, even in hard and crazy times! I'm profoundly grateful and honored to have you here.

When will I get the Print rewards? Envelopes ship out on the 1st of the month AFTER your pledge. So if your pledge is processed in January, your January envelope ships out February 1st.
The time it takes for envelopes to reach you varies depending on your location. If it has been 4-6 weeks after the ship date and your envelope still hasn't arrived, or if I made a mistake and didn't include the correct rewards please message me here on PATREON, and I'll work to get it sorted out for you!
Is there a tracking number? No, I'm not able to offer tracked shipping. They are shipped via first class stamp. International envelopes are shipped via first class international stamp.
