🌼FIRST BIG POST OF THE YEEEAAAR: Sketches Galore, OF COURSE!🌼

Hello, hello, friends!! I know I already said it once, but again, happy new year! I hope your first week of 2025 has been sweet to you!

My first week was spent planning all of the projects I'm going to try to tackle this month, so, as the title of this post suggests, I had to do some BIG sketching!

Because of popular demand, I had to create a little wizard part TWO- though, do we like the daytime or nighttime color palette better? Vote below, if you'd like!

daaaytime (warmer tones, pinks, afternoon feels)-

niiiighttime (cool tones, blues, nighttime feels)-

ThEn? Well, I had to sketch a wee whale-

I just want to make a BIG whale sticker, I think? That's as deep as this one gets! Shine, sparkle, patches, stars! All the things!

Okay, so this is a bit of a rework of an OOOOLD, old drawing from years ago, but I am totally in my "fantasy, sparkle, whimsy" feels this month, so I'm definitely going to rework it into something more like this!

I spent a long time this weekend scrolling through nature-y photos I had taken throughout the year, and ended up sketching this very simple scene. Though, while I drew a few different things, I couldn't figure out what should be happening here. Maybe it'll simply remain a sketch, or maybe I'll figure out the perfect way to use it? Hmm..

Speaking of nature-y photos! You MAY or may not remember the photo dump I posted in Juuuly?? I think?? Lots of flowers and things from my parent's garden- I finally got back to those photos and sketched THIS-

and I don't know, but SOMETHING ABOUT THESE COLORS!! They make me want to drop everything I'm doing to create!! I'm not sure about the bugs playing instruments- I might change that aspect of the composition, but!!

And, now, I haven't forgotten about these sketches! 

I am constantly coming back to them as they are on my active "to-draw" list, but... well, my ideas for them are shifting,, and I'd love to combine a whole bunch of ideas to make one, GIANT whimsical work. I'll keep you posted!

Well, I think that's about all I've got for you today! I'm feeling super inspired to make, as I said, so I will be instantly jumping right

 into it this week!!

OH! UPDATE! Patrons located in Canada! ALL of your rewards will be shipped with everyone's when I send out packages tomorrow!!

Okay, okay I'm off! Let me know what you think- what drawings you're drawn to most (no pun intended) etc. I'll be back again very very soon! Have a wonderfully wonderful week! 🌼
