Hey First name / friends!

 

I know I've sent you a lot of emails over the past few weeks, so I'm going to keep this one short and sweet! 😘

 

As my way of saying a big THANK YOU for sticking with me, I wanted to share a few free resources to help you along your art journey!

 

Filled with business tips and inspo, this will help you grow in 2026!

 

Make sure you're up to speed with all the latest trends and get inspiration for how to incorporate them into your portfolio.

 

Get the 5 stamp brushes I use most often to embellish my designs. 

 

Back to our regularly scheduled program of weekly drawing prompts! If you're new here, these prompts are designed to help you build a marketable portfolio week by week! 

 

This week's challenge was inspired by on of the new spot illustrations I made for my latest collection – books! 📚

 

My “Curiosities Library" illustration just got picked up for licensing! And books are a trend that's not going anywhere any time soon. 

 

Share your bookish illustration on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq and make sure to tag me @catcoq in the actual photo for a chance to be featured!

Here are a few of the amazing submissions from the mini collection challenge!

 

(And fun fact: they all became students of The Art of Collections! 🤗)

 

Thank you to everyone who participated! It's a huge accomplishment to finish a collection, and you all made it happen! ✨

 

Make sure to click on the photos to see each artist on Instagram and give them some love! When we help each other grow, we all rise : )

Have a fabulous week!
