Happy Friday everyone! ✨
Here is a drawing I made for this month's Draw With Me video for all Big-Hearted Butterflies and up ($5+)! In the video I talk about art block (anybody else experiencing it this holiday season?) and some things I do to combat it! I'm also really excited because this video will be the last one recorded with an iPhone because I'm getting a camera for Christmas!! 💕 I can't wait to start making more video content with new equipment 💖

I have included the file as a link for you to access the file through Google Drive because the file is a little too big for Patreon. In my experience, sometimes the goo...

Here’s a drawing I made today in my sketchbook while it was raining & gloomy outside 😌 I don’t use green enough in my work, so I decided to change that with some leafy goodness in this drawing! Not sure if she’s finished yet, what do you think? I may add some more details to her face 💖

I'm thinking of doing something nature-themed and I scribbled some rough ideas 😊 I've decided to let you guys choose which thumbnail I should use to inspire my final drawing! There are two options that are pretty similar but have a few differences, mainly the pose, expression, hair, and a couple other details. I can't decide!! I would love to have your input 💖
