Happy New Year, First name / friends! |
|
I love the energy of this time of year! It feels like a fresh start and a great time to set new goals! (Pssst….if your 2023 goal is to grow your art business, make sure to read to the end of this email) One of my favorite ways to set an intention for the year is to choose a word or phrase that speaks to me. |

#CreateWithCatCoq - Word of the Year |
|
Your #CreateWithCatCoq challenge this week is to create a hand-lettered illustration with your word (or phrase) of the year. Writing down your intentions and goals can be extremely powerful, so why not take it to the next level with hand lettering? |
|
And guess what? You don’t have to have good handwriting to be a good hand-letterer. In fact, it can be really simple to create beautiful hand lettering right on your iPad. I have a whole lesson dedicated to hand-lettering in my class, Procreate for Beginners, that takes you through the entire process step-by-step. |
|
This class is also included in my Procreate Bundle which you can get my three most popular Procreate classes for the price of two! |
|
Share your word of the year on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so we can all feel inspired! I go through every submission and I’d love to see what you create! Bonus points if you upload your illustration to a print-on-demand site and send yourself a copy of it on a product so you can have it as a visual reminder all year long! Learn how to digitize your art and put it on products in this class. |
