No new art this week (I took a weekend break to visit the lovely Rainy Mage for her birthday, check out her gorgeous work below!) and have been tending to the business side of things. New awesome stuff coming soon!
deviantART
I have been spending some time getting back into deviantART, though, and would love it if you joined me over there! I won a Daily Deviation, and even though I have been relatively inactive over there, it felt really special. I grew up on that website, and it will always have a warm place in my heart.
Reflection
Weekly prompts to encourage self-reflection and help you discover impactful things about yourself, your art and your career.
When I trained to become a coach, the first lesson was coaching boiled down to its most basic (and important) parts, which they called "corridor coaching" (for the affectionate fact you could have the conversation when passing someone in a corridor).
It's versatile and effective and underpins nearly everything a coach is trained to help you figure out. Give it a try!
Where are you now?

Resource
Rainy, my lovely artist friend I mentioned above, just made her brush pack available! These Procreate brushes are fantastic all-rounders that will handle everything from buttery-smooth to painterly strokes.
If you fancy giving a late birthday present to a fellow artist, go check it out!
