Here’s a look at what I’m working on this month at SuzerSpace. I’m including links to help you if you might be on a similar path. Some of these links may be affiliate, which means I’ll earn a small commission at no cost to you. My full disclosure policy is here.
Reading
My February reading is going to take me into March and April as well. While commuting in to work I heard about a new way of teaching/learning about economics so I bookmarked the free online textbook mentioned in the program and I’m going to do as David Brancaccio suggested and work a chapter a week. I’ve already started and it’s serving as a great second round from my January book choice.
Skill Improvement
Skills wise I’m working on my lettering and Procreate techniques. I found this awesome free resource for palettes for Procreate that match the Tombow pens that letter artists often use in those pretty Instagram shots. The only way I could justify my purchase of the iPad and Apple Pencil a couple of years ago was to promise myself I wouldn’t be buying a ton of colored pens – they were all “included” in my choice to go digital with my lettering.
I’ll be using a new a color changing Procreate brush that is a super big help in working on the pressure changes needed to make those pretty thin and thick strokes needed for brush lettering. I made it after watching this quick video from the twins at Loveleigh Loops.
Skillshare Classes
My Skillshare focus this month is doodling. The challenge I did last month was super fun and I’d like to go a little deeper into that. If you are interested, here’s the first class I’m planning on taking. And as a reminder, if you’d like two months free to try out Skillshare, this affiliate link will get you that (plus give me a small commission at no cost to you).
