When I started out with Procreate, I was overwhelm When I started out with Procreate, I was overwhelmed by all the available brushes and how to use them. I spent hours online researching what the “best” inking brush was, or the “best” texture brushes were, etc… The reality is you won’t find the perfect of all perfect brush! Why’s that? Because each of us creates artwork in our own unique way so the brushes that work for one artist, may not work for another. But what if I told you you could potentially find your go-to’s faster by reading what brushes your favourite artists love and swear by?! So I’m here to help you experiment and try new brushes and hopefully help you find your favourite go-to brushes! I have a blog post sharing my top 10 favourite ProCreate brushes on my website! You can find the link to it in my bio! What are your favourite go-to brushes in ProCreate? - #tawnart #procreate @procreate #procreateart #procreateillustration #procreateartist #procreateartwork #procreatebrushes #newblogpost #surfacedesignblog #illustrationblog #artblog #surfacedesigner #surfacedesign #illustrators #illustrationartists #femaleillustrators #creativelife #womenwhocreate #creativity #colorplayallday #colorplay #showyourwork
💭 Dreaming of Spring and all those blooming bea 💭 Dreaming of Spring and all those blooming beautiful flowers 🌼 It's funny because just 10 years ago I never really cared for florals, hardly noticed them actually. But as I've gotten older, I literally stop to smell the roses as often as I can. My personal IG account is full of flower pics now. I, unfortunately, don't have a green thumb so I don't own any plants, but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate the gardens of other folks! Beautiful views without the maintenance, talk about a perfect scenario! 🤣 haha Are you good at taking care of plants? Or are you more like me, enjoying the views from a distance? - 👋 This illustration is available to license and I warmly welcome collaborations and custom projects.

Today I’m sitting down to reflect and review my Today I’m sitting down to reflect and review my achievements and setbacks for the last year. I’ll be honest, reviewing 2022 was a bit of a struggle this year. I felt overwhelmed. Although I always look forward to this time of the year, it was hard getting through the process. All-in-all I was able to complete many of the goals I had set for myself with a few new endeavours to boot! Here are just a few: ✔️ Added 30+ new designs to my licensing portfolio ✔️ Reached out to 40+ companies whose products fit with my art style ✔️ Started 2 newsletters for different audiences ✔️ Earned the trust of subscribers joining my newsletters - Thank you for being a highlight to my day ✔️ Added new cards to my Thortful shop ✔️ Proudly partnered with Felt ✔️ Created a LinkedIn account and consistently posted Naturally, I didn't accomplish every goal I had, there were a few setbacks along the way.

Did you know the last time I participated in a #DT Did you know the last time I participated in a #DTIYS challenge was over 3 years ago? Pretty long overdue if I do say so myself! One of the major reasons why I decided to join was because I felt I needed the relaxation of creating art but without all the thinking and second-guessing involved! lol And I'll admit it did the job quite nicely. I had a blast drawing this character. Here's my version of @jessmillerdraws illustration.

I think it'd be great on a wall in an office or study or even in a child's bedroom!

What's one of the first things you do in the new y What's one of the first things you do in the new year? Is it a yearly review of the past year, planning for the year ahead, setting new year's resolutions, reflecting on your word of the year, or something else entirely? In previous years, I'd basically do all of the above and I won't lie I did it again this year but I felt totally overwhelmed by the whole process. 😱 I've been hearing a lot from others about how we should be taking some time to slow down, breathe and live in the moment. And you know maybe they're on to something. For the last few months, I've been feeling pretty tired and generally overwhelmed by just about everything. I'm an overthinker by nature so maybe that's the main culprit here. 🤔 Maybe this year my approach should include slowing down and living in the present moment rather than always trying to be 10 steps ahead. The reality is I can't do it all, so I should focus on the most important things that bring me the most joy. 🎨 What are you doing this month to kick-start your year? - #tawnart #newyear #newyearplanning #yearlyreview #surfacedesigner #surfacedesign #illustrators #illustrationartists #femaleillustrators #patterndesignercanada #mylifeinpattern #tropicalart #tropicalillustration #inspiredbynature #caribbeaninspiration #caribbeanvibes #caribbeanart #tropicalvibes #tropicalparadise #tropicaldreams #tropicaldesign
