For this class, your project will be to create a digital illustration that incorporates all the elements of art. You have full creative freedom to choose your subject matter!

I'll be illustrating a cute cat with a cup of coffee, so if you're a beginner, feel free to follow along with me step by step. If you're more advanced, use the framework I provide in the practice sessions as a guide and explore your unique creative vision.

Exciting Experiment: Before & After Gallery
To make this journey even more rewarding, let’s do a little experiment! Here’s how it works:

Start with a Simple Sketch Now
Create a quick, simple illustration—perhaps a cat with a cup of coffee—or pick something you've drawn recently. Don't overthink it; the goal is to capture where you’re at right now.
Upload Your "Before" Image
Share your current sketch or past drawing in the project gallery as your "before" piece.
Finish the Class & Create Your Final Illustration
Follow through the lessons, implement the art elements we explore and trust the process. By the end of the class, you'll have a polished and beautiful illustration.
Upload Your "After" Image
Once you're done, share your final illustration in the project gallery. Seeing the progress between your "before" and "after" pieces will be inspiring—not just for you, but for the entire class community!

Share Your Work on Social Media
If you share your final artwork or any process photos on social media, make sure to tag me @theartmother so I can show off your mind-blowing creativity!
