Hello, hello!! In this video I’m kicking off something I really wanted for this year: keeping my art practice easy, simple, and totally non-judgemental. I’ve been wanting to improve through practice (hopefully lots of practice), so I grabbed myself a new notebook to use as a sketchbook—and I’m sharing the very first drawing I did in it. I’m drawing and coloring DC’s Poison Ivy, and I take you along for a relaxed “draw and color with me” session. I’m using alcohol markers and coloring pencils to bring Poison Ivy to life, focusing more on showing up and creating than being “perfect.” If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you need everything to be polished before you start, this is your reminder that your sketchbook can be a safe space. I hope this video inspires you to pick up what you have, practice a little, and enjoy the process. Keep creative, keep safe, and always, always be kind.
