Yes😊
Yes please
That would be amazing!!!
YAASSSSS ❤😮😊
That’s so handy about saving the line weights, thanks for including that! 😊
Absolutly a great tip! Goodbye inconsistent lines 👋
its so relexing to watch you work.I like the ducks one and the october ones the most.
Incredible handmade calendar
the summer gingie and spice swimming is sooooo cute!!!!! also I love shroomie!!! I get so many comments when I where my shroomie jumper and it is literally my favorite jumper!
LOVE April with the ducks! so cute ;D
November’s illustration is adorable.
this vlog is so cosy! perfect for winter 😄
I love the summer pages I think July. Super cute
The damn frog sitting on a frog pillow! lol
The illustrations are super cute, Catherine! Congratulations on finishing the calendar!
October was my favorite! Those costumes are so cute ...
Well my favourite illustration was the cafe one and the mashroom one
I had no idea that you could set line weights in procreate! Awesome!!
I am loving the calendar so far - my fave months are October & November
Oh I'm so happy yippppeeee calendar. I love your nails. June is my favorite
Merry Christmas everyone 💗💗💗💗
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄
Ha, so cool you visited Koselig and included my drawing in your video. Hope you enjoyed the delicious treats they have :)
October was so cute! Probably my favourite one!
4:36 Watching this section sped up is a little funny because the older gentleman in the background must have been really hungry, he was eating so fast hahehah
Love the little Halloween critters!❤❤❤
Thanks for the tip on saving the line thicknesses! Been using procreate for years and never knew 😅
I love, love your calendar, it is amazingly adorable. I told you you could do it on time... LOL. The illustrations are beautiful, how can I pick a favorite? I can't. There all perfect. I am looking forward to getting my own. By the way, you look great!! Have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you get everything you asked for... LOL. 🤗🌲🌲🥂
Oh my goodness I’m just catching up on vlogs and never even realised you were so nearby, I’m from marske lol yet I normally end up in Guisborough for cafe painting haha . Love all the new illustrations too x
Ohhhhhhh I didn’t know the brush history type tip, thanks so much for sharing 🎉
Love how they turned out and the idea of coffee hopping is so much fun!
I loved all of them, but my favourite has to be the May one!
I really like the idea to change your environment to focus! Please remember to stretch your shoulders and neck though before and after and get a little angled stand for your iPad otherwise you’ll get tablet/military neck like I did. It’s not fun and you can’t move or draw for a while… I need to work more on backgrounds too and human anatomy. One day I’d love to make children’s books too with my hedgehog characters I illustrate! So happy you’ve posted as im watching right before bed and I find your videos so soothing 😊
I liked the Shroomie drawing, but also the June picture with more details. can't wait to see what you finish. And also the upcoming Children's books you have planned!
Thank you so much for the line tip in Procreate. I’ve been using it for awhile and did not know that. Been watching you for years, just want to say, Merry Christmas. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. Happy Holidays to you, your family and crew!!
Omg Katherine only JUST managed to watch this one! It was such a magical afternoon - please let’s have an Xmas day out again next year too! And obvs can’t wait to see ya in early 23!!!! 🙌😘
Has to be the October one for me. I love that character. Love all of it but wow, so amazing how it all came together
Was that a duck fart shot? The best!
Love the Mushroom one!!! Merry Christmas to you all!!!
I have a few ideas for the cover (love the calendar so far! I love all of your work actually ❤️):
1) Thumbnails of all of the months with a small white border in between (usually its on the back of a calendar but why not the front?!)
2) Photo grid, same white border but your favorites are larger (say top 3) and others are smaller.
3) All the characters featured in the calendar hangout on the cover. Pick your favorite season as inspiration for the scene.
3b) same character concept of 3, but Brady bunch style grid where characters interact with each other from their various scenes (if that makes dense)
Anyway, can’t wait!
Love February & June!! ❤❤. You’ve really done a remarkable job Catherine 😊
Love the ducks and Clementine art, I wonder does mama duck know there's a puddytat following!
Would like to live near some of the coffee shops you visit, they look great. Nice that you video details in them, tfs ⭐️🎄❄️
October 💞 is definitely my fav!😍
Thank you for the heads up on the design workflow class from skillshare, I just started it, and am thrilled to hear that the tutor is neurodivergent (like me!) - its fab so far. Also, your calendar illustrations are so freakin' cute.
Katnipp AND Emily! YAAAASSSS my Christmas has been made alllll the way over across the pond here in Indian Mound, TN! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
You're looking really well Cath! Loving the jumper too!❤ Have a lush Christmas!
THAT PROCREATE HACK IS LITERALLY WHAT I NEEDED LIKE HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT OMG THANK YOU
I love the October illustration so much! good composition, you should make that one a print later! I think it will sell
I must be late to the party too, I never realized that line weight trick in procreate. I love the NY nails that gold is lovely. And next week is great service from the local print company! In Oz we've had various things like 100 k menus etc., meaning nothing served from more than 100k away, sometimes I wonder if there could be 100k illustrators too, China would put paid to that idea! But we can at least get Victoria made pigments and that kind of thing. But I suppose my internet connection is Aust. wide, so way more than 100k. I wonder weird things sometimes. How many Aussie patreons do you have? (I get so jealous when I see you going off to creative meets, none of that where I live !)
It has been said many times, but you are amazing!! The calendar turned out so good and cute! My favorite of what I have seen is May with the duckies and October. The pumpkin(Gordy?) dressed up as a ghost, love it!
Such a good procreate tip!
My favorite was the beach scene
May is so cute!!🥰
Catt!!! 1st you are looking stunning!!!! that lip color is so cute on you! My favorite month is October :)
I like the Halloween one! Congrats, Catherine! 💞it! btw, what does your Christmas morning candle smell like?
Lol I had to rewind because I didn’t read the captions but I knew I saw Emily Harvey 😂😂😂.
I love November! 🤩
Congrats on finishing the calendar! All the designs are super cute! 😍 Also, thanks for the procreate tip. I will definitely be using that now. Merry Christmas 🎄❤🎉
I loved all the illustrations and thank you for that tip in Procreate I didn’t know that I’m still figuring out things in procreate 😂 can’t wait to see your calendar come together have a great Christmas and a 🥳 New year.
In the future if you want to do more backgrounds I suggest looking into sketch up! Its easy to learn and has a style that gives you sketchy lines. Your calender is lovely, I love your blogs they are so cozy
gosh what a cute calendar!! i wish we had cute cafes around here 😢 living vicariously through you hehe ❤
im glad to hear that you could finish the calendar 🥳🥳🥳 happy holiday everyone ❤
OMG i just started following emily harvey bc of you and watching her videos!!!
Katnipp, I really, really wanna say thank you for your content. You are such an inspiring person to me and I love your youtube channel so much. It brings me joy watching your videos. Keep it up, the best wishes for you
Hey Catherine 🤗 you’re doing amazing with the calendar. I cannot wait to see the final design ☺️ it’s too hard to pick a fave 🙈 xxx
Great tip! I didn't know that! 11:22
wooo calendar ! i just ordered a package from you but i might just have to order another!~
Yayyy merry Christmas ! Love that sweater ! ❤
You must spend a small fortune on coffee haha...love the calender designs and the backgrounds look fab
They look amazing, congratulations. Can you recommend classes for procreate on skillshare. Thank you.
Well, I didn’t know about that Procreate tip either? Thanks so much for the tip. You’re nails look great. Just remember, I’m doing nails again, so if you’re ever stuck I can come to you as I’m mobile xx
I have a pair of vintage white gloves that I use when I need to film my hands but my nailpolish is messed up :] Saves time so I don't have to paint them as much and it still looks nice
Omg this whole colander is looking so cute I can’t have a favorite cause they all are but your backgrounds are amazing I hate backgrounds myself 😅 I hope everything goes well with them!
the calendar is so freaking cute!! also, can I just say, you are so tiny now hehe
November!!! ☺️🥰 Sqweeee! 16:43
The ability to save line weights was introduced im pretty sure earlier this year? So its not been around for too long, I highly recommend going through their twitter and reading their update notes because they've added a lot of cool useful features like that this year!!
Omggg I just started but I know it's gonna be a good video ! also I love the intro !!
hehe oh my gosh thank you so much hehe
While you were doing that july looking at that unicorn in which gingie was sitting kept me thinking of carousel can you do an illustration in all your characters are sitting on a carousel.
How do u know a illustration is done? How do u know when to stop adding things?
What is your canvas size for working on a small ipad for your calendar designs
What tablet are you using to draw on? 🌸💗🤍
im favorite june and october
May I ask what program do you use to design on your IPad?
The best one would October...
omg didn't know the procrate hack!
you look amazing btw i just had to say so xoxox
i'm really tight on money right now (they didn't extent my contract and the market is terrible) but if you do one for 2024 ill get it then! (or i mannage to get a job before february)
Where r u based I'm love supporting more UK businesses as there hard to find xx I support alot of USA channels but i want to support my home of the uk
Just out of interest, how come all the designs are full illustrations with backgrounds except October? They're all super cute so it's not a criticism! Genuinely just wondering if there was a reason x
Do you still use procreate? Xoxo from the US! ❄🤍❄🤍❄
