Grab a cup of tea and settle in with me for a cozy, chatty winter studio catch‑up where I share what I’ve been up to across November and December—and how exploring other crafts has genuinely shifted the way I make art. I start by showing my final illustrations alongside some work in progress, then I flip through recent sketchbook pages and talk about what I’m enjoying right now in my art journaling practice. This is very much a calm “studio chats” kind of video, so it’s more like hanging out while I reflect on what’s been working (and what I’m still figuring out). A big part of this update is how stepping into other creative hobbies—like knitting, sewing, and bookish craft projects—feeds back into my illustration and watercolour work. When I’m making something with my hands in a different way, I notice new textures, colour combinations, and patience levels showing up in my sketchbook. I also share a few new art supplies and favourites, plus some community bits like my free Zoom drawing sessions and what’s happening over on Patreon. If you’ve been craving a slower, podcast‑style art video that still gives you practical inspiration, this one is for you.
