Hey, First name / friends!
I’m blown away by the fantastic response I’ve gotten to my newest class, Floral Animal Silhouettes! In just the first week it's been live on Skillshare it already has over 1,000 students and has been chosen as a Staff Pick! I'm over the moon! Thanks so much for your support and excitement for this new class.
Here are just a few of the class projects that have come in so far.
 
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the class, you can do so here. It’s an in-depth Procreate class where you’ll learn how to create a professional illustration with trending motifs. Plus it’s packed with freebies including a Procreate brush I custom-made just for you!
 

And in honor of the launch of the new class on Skillshare, I’m giving away an entire year of Skillshare for FREE!

New on YouTube
Did you know that I have a YouTube channel? One of my big goals this year is to continue growing my YouTube video library to ensure that my content is as accessible as possible.
 
My newest video is a flower and mushroom tutorial in Procreate. Think of this as a fun mini-version of my Blooms & Shrooms class! It’s a great way to get into creative flow without worrying about what to draw. We’ll use brushes that are native to the Procreate app, so anyone with Procreate can easily follow along! 
 
I also have a lot of juicy art business videos on YouTube. In this art licensing deep-dive Q&A with Mabel Tan, I share a behind-the-scenes look at my art licensing business. I’m an open book, and this talk is full of actionable tips that you can implement in your own art business!

#CreateWithCatCoq Mushroom Seamless Pattern
Thank you all so much for your feedback on the weekly drawing prompts a few weeks ago! The survey results are helping me shape the challenges so that they’re as valuable as possible for you! 
 
One of the clear winners when it comes to prompts you all are interested in is….seamless patterns! So this week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge is to create a mushroom and flower seamless pattern inspired by my new YouTube video!

Share your mushroom and floral pattern on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can see what you make! 
 
I hope your week is off to a great start! And don’t forget if you want to win a year of Skillshare, check out my new class Floral Animal Silhouettes and share your class project and review to enter the giveaway!
