Hey First name / friends!

I wanted to switch it up with this week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge and do something that we’ve never done before! 
 
#CreateWithCatCoq - Draw Your Favorite Food
This week, your challenge is to draw your favorite food! Food illustrations are huge sellers in the surface design world, and I can’t believe we haven’t done a food challenge yet! 

If you need some inspiration for your food illustration, check out the food art prints in my shop!
You can use whatever medium you prefer to illustrate your favorite food, but if you’re planning to use Procreate, I wanted to share a helpful resource with you! In this blog post, I share how you can sketch and trace from reference images in Procreate to easily get the basic forms of your subject down quickly and easily. 
Share your foodie illustrations on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can like and comment! I can’t wait to see what you create!

Swaponz Featured Collection - Sushi Vibes
I was inspired for this week’s challenge by one of the designs from my new phone case collection with Swaponz, Sushi Vibes. Since each Swaponz phone case comes with three different case designs (helllooooooo three for the price of one! 🙌), I paired my popular sushi pattern with two complementing patterns to complete the collection. 

Bonus: you can score 20% off my entire collection with Swaponz by using the code CATWELCOME at checkout!
