draw with me: chat about drawing challenges + this sketchbook spread ✿ (almost) real time painting

Happy New Year everyone ♡ (can I say it halfway through January?) In this first video of 2025 I show you the full process behind this sketchbook spread. If you like take some paper or your sketchbook and draw along with me while I chat about my drawing process, art supplies and drawing challenges. The drawing challenge I mentioned is Birbfest, created by ‪@birdietam‬ and hosted by ‪@monkeymintaka‬ on Instagram. ♡ What do you think, voice over with or without music in the background? Let me know if it is distracting/annoying or if it’s ok. =) Thank you for watching the video and for always being so kind in the comments! I'm so happy you are here!❤️ p.s. The brands I mentioned in the video while talking about soft pastels are Unison, Jackson’s, Sennelier and Schmincke. 🐱 Check out my 2025 calendar here: https://micheladespagnolis.bigcartel.... 🐯 I made my first t-shirt in collaboration with PrintSocial!
