What are your suggestions for 2022?

I really liked the Articles and Youtube videos so far. You have a way of explaning things and popularizing difficult concepts that make it easy to understand. I learned a lot by checking out your content! Concerning new ideas for illustrations, I would propose more drawings of men! Don't get me wrong, I love the way you draw women, but a change of sex could be an interesting exercise!

Your Patreon is truly a gem, Chrissa, thank you for all the work you put into making it so! Since you asked for suggestions, here are some. In terms of digital content: desktop wallpapers (1080p, 1440p, 4k). Your learning resources are fantastic, please keep including those helpful extra materials in your tutorials (eg the proportions guide in the dynamic poses tutorial)… depending on what you are covering, other possibilities may include stylized anatomy reference (your style!), perspective grids (POVs), composition guidelines and design elements you like (eg fluffy four-legged critters). And more tutorials on color + lightning (and thanks BTW for teaching the technique both in Procreate and CSP, as you did in the glow tutorial). As for merch options… how about studio gear, like mouse pads or custom printed artist gloves? As for themes… perhaps a bit of sci-fi, maybe with a touch of fantasy in it? (It would give an excuse to explore material painting techniques.) And regarding that “something else” idea… once we ran out of goddesses, consider a series of anthropomorphic zodiac sign illustrations (greek, chinese, other?). Looking forward to whatever you decide!

Would really like apparel options. I still think your Triclops Witch would make an awesome shirt graphic.

Some of my favourite content of yours are the gods with their epic-grandiose vibes, and cute aquatic colourful pieces! It would be cool to see maybe pins or other small apparel of your art as well :)

I love all your draws. You are Ah-mazing. I have NEVER drawn something before, and I want to start. can you create something for the absolute beginners

I don't want to say mine, it adds more WORK to your writing or video tutorials.... Ug alright. Could you add a sentence or two at the end giving the reader or viewer an exercise?

Your tutorials are great and helpful to improve drawing skills and I hope, you do new tutorials for us. The idea of a challenge could be interesting, I would take part of it. Definitely go on, you inspire us (at least me).

Thank you! Oooh! I do love fantasy! Definitely something I want to do more of!

ChrissaBug

Thank you for saying so! And challenges! Yes! Definitely something I will start putting together!💖

ChrissaBug

Thank you for saying so! I’m glad they have been helpful and they will definitely be continuing. And it looks like quite a few folks are interested in challenges, so it’s something I’ll definitely start putting together

ChrissaBug

Seems like quite a few are interested in challenges so that is great to know and something I will definitely be looking into and setting up. I actually do already offer critiques and paintover to $10+ patrons on discord. 😘. I don’t really advertise it too much though because I’m afraid of getting overwhelmed. 😂 If I advertise it more I might need to move it to a more expensive tier eventually. Ooh, I want to look into washi tape. I have never tried making it but custom washi tape would be so cute

ChrissaBug

Thank you for saying so! Tutorials and articles are definitely going to continue. I’m glad that they have been helpful!

ChrissaBug

Oooh! It seems like you started a trend! Looks like lots of people are interested in a challenge, so I’m definitely going to need to look into putting together regular challenges here. It is a fun way to bring the community more together as well!💖

ChrissaBug

Cool! I’m glad you let me know! The tutorials are definitely going to keep coming!

ChrissaBug

Ooh! Thank you and that’s good to know! I definitely want to set aside some time to make more designs!

ChrissaBug

I’m so glad to hear that! Yes! Tutorials will definitely keep coming!

ChrissaBug

Love the tutorials, and that you have a theme for drawing. Next could maybe be fairies or trolls or something fantasy

Samantha STValle

I love your tutorials and articles ❤️❤️ and I think challenges would be fun also! 😊😊

Cozy Cat (Andrea)

Your tutorials have always been helpful and I've really enjoyed going through you articles about artblocks and figuring out what to draw. I think I agree that maybe there should be more art challenges on discord. I think they'd be fun!

Catherine j

Monthly art challenges on discord for patreon members would be fun, other than that offering maybe some paintovers and critique? Perhaps as a separate tier on Patreon and limited to a few spots. A Mist or kittens washi tape would be awesome as well

Tea

I've really enjoyed the articles, and tutorials. They have been super helpful, especially for someone who is working towards becoming an independent artist and doesn't have too many resources to go to

Daystar Illustration

Why not have an art challenge here once a month or a trimester. Like you woulg give a theme or a mood board and we would create an artwork from that?? You could give advice or highlight some of the elements in some of the artworks in a vblog or something. It is an other way to learn... Hum that means a lot of work for you though 🤔 And I really love the tutorials they really improve my Skills.

Shariffa

To be honest I am here for tutorials and learning. While I find the mailinmg and artwork nicer .. it is the tutorials and your good way of teaching.

Sven Uckermann

Honestly I really loved the Hecate shirts/sweatshirts you released, I would totally buy more merch of different designs as well!

Well, I really love your tutorials, they helped me a lot to improve my own art, so my hope is that for this years we have more tutorials ^^
