Hey First name / friends!

 

Every so often you'll make something that just keeps selling. When that happens, my advice is always the same: don't stop at one. 😅

 

Champagne bottles are a perfect example from my own portfolio. They've been one of my top sellers on print-on-demand for years now.

 

It makes sense when you think about who's buying. People shop for celebration art constantly — engagements, bachelorette parties, birthdays, New Year's, housewarmings, bar carts, kitchen walls. Champagne works for all of it. So instead of one seasonal spike, this motif gets picked up all year long. 🥂

 

Once I saw how well this motif performed, I made more! I have champagne bottles in several different styles and color palettes in my portfolio now, because the person who loves my colorful watercolor version isn't necessarily the same person who wants something in a cooler, sophisticated palette.

 

Every new style I add is another chance to match what someone is already searching for. 🤗

This week, your challenge is to draw your own champagne illustration! Make sure to add your own flair to it, and avoid using real brand names so you don't run into any copyright drama.

 

To make sure I'm able to see and share your work, use the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq and tag me @catcoq in the actual photo so I can see what you make! I can't wait to see your take on this prompt!

Here are a few of the amazing submissions from our last challenge!

Have a fabulous week!
