Added 2023-05-07 22:01:51 +0000 UTC

Hi, all!

Thank you for voting on the June pin and thank you so much for your kind words on the children's book style AF! Here is the pin! I decided to make it simple so Patreon can brag about having this limited edition pin! What do you think?

Also! March + April Pins will be shipped at the end of the month. My apologies for that delay, factory had to rework the dangly parts of the March pin.. ah! But there is what the factory sent me and they look so so good.. ahhh!!!

Art Challenges: READ ME FIRST!

To make it easier to digest, I will be posting one challenge a week, every Friday. I am trying to make each one digestible, in order to account for your busy schedules, extra time, and energy levels.

Each week's challenge should be completed to your best of your ability, EVEN if it is not 100% done! The main point of this challenges are to build habits.
Don't worry too much about where your art level is now. Again, we all mainly want to focus on building fundamentals, building habits, and sticking to it! Focus on your own growth, rather than others. This isn't a race!
There is a new channel on the Discord called #artchallenge, where the current challenge will be pinned, everyone can support each other, share progress, ask questions, and more!

FAQ that may come up

Q: What if I want to join the challenge but don't want to draw? What if I want to get better at sewing, music, pottery, cooking.etc etc?

A: That's TOTALLY okay! If you would prefer your OWN challenge, I am totally down for that. Just message me here (or email at naomiromero4@gmail.com) with what you had in mind! Try to make the challenge for yourself DIGESTIBLE and realistic, so this can set you up for success. I would hate for anyone to bite off more than they can chew and feel discouraged. Again, the main reason these challenges is for us to support each other, build habits, and find victory in little gains.

Q: What if I miss a week since I got busy, wasn't motivated. etc?

A: I understand life happens (and I am sure it is going to happen to me too)! If this happens, just do your best. Even finishing 20% of the challenge for that week should be considered a WIN for you. I want to celebrate finding joy in just trying and doing your best. Mental health, responsibilities, sudden issues. etc are valid reasons. Above all, be kind to yourself and remember that this isn't a race.

Q: What if others are better at me? I am not very good at drawing/ I am struggling with a certain assignment/ I am feeling discouraged at others progressing faster?

A: This is something I personally relate to so much. I have taken many art classes before and my ADHD and mental health would make me so discouraged that I would pull from the class. I would be so so hard on myself, feeling like a failure that my assignments isn't good as others, that the others overachieved, etc. Please focus on your own growth. Even if it is just "wow, I finished this challenge!", getting a bit better at drawing circles, building habits etc etc. Do the best you can, even if the best is just a bit of the assignment. You will quickly realize that you can be proud of yourself for doing your best, since there are not grades, hard deadlines, comparing.etc etc. I want everyone to feel proud, see progress, and most of all, have fun.

If you have any additional questions, please post them here so I can add the questions to this journal entry + the discord!
