Hey, First name / friends!

This week we’re focusing on drawing snowflakes! It always amazes me that no two snowflakes are the same and every single one has a unique makeup. 

 

It makes me think of how we as artists all have our own unique voices. One of the many reasons I love seeing your #CreateWithCatCoq challenge posts each week is that every one of you has a different interpretation of the prompt. Your artistic voice is as unique as a snowflake! 

 

(That is to say, you’re one in a trillion, baby! 🤩)

This week your #CreateWithCatCoq challenge is to create an illustration or pattern using snowflakes as the main motif. I’d recommend trying to create a seamless pattern for this challenge. Snowflakes are massively popular during the holiday season, and a repeat pattern will increase the different types of products that your design can go on. Think wrapping paper, apparel, table runners, and fabric just to name a few!

I can’t wait to see your snowflake patterns! Don’t forget to share your work on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can like, comment, and share your work! 

 

Want to learn how to make a repeat pattern? I have posts on my blog that walk you through how to create repeat patterns in both Procreate and Photoshop! 

As we’re heading into the heart of the holiday season, I’ve been reflecting on the past year and everything that’s made it so special. I just want to say a huge thank you to you for being here, sharing your art, and taking steps toward your artistic goals. You are the reason I do what I do, and I couldn’t be more grateful! 

 

I hope that you have a fantastic week and get to enjoy some time to rest and spend time with the ones you love! ❤️
