I was looking through old artwork and found my very first I posted. And it was from 2016!! 😳

This made me feel quite f*cking old but also like, Happy 10 Year Anniversary to me! ☺️ 🎆

I’m adding the actual timelapse below.

Also, is anybody still zendoodling? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Or is it just me over here still drawing the same things as i was 10 years ago?

I often get asked where I get all my fonts from.

Well, here’s my secret!….
I stock up every year on these one dollar font bundles!

Of course, there’s tons more there than fonts (like my best selling lettering brushes for Procreate) 😉

But the catch is that they’re only one dollar for the first 500 buyers (unless you’re a subscriber).

I just go to this site and search for “fonts”, “Procreate”, or whatever i’m needing like “digital planner”, etc:

I sifted through a mountain of ‘meh’ and way too many AI messes (my eyeballs may never recover) but I found some coloring pages, brushes, and palettes for Procreate that didn’t make me want to throw my iPad across the room.They’re all in this collection. Link in the comments. Use it. Don’t use it. I’m going to go lie down.

I love the concept of not having a set color palette before starting. 🎨

It takes a lot of pressure off and just lets you play and have fun with the process while still using colors that look well together in the end. 🙌🏼
