If you follow my instagram account, you might have seen my frequent posts this month announcing the launch of my Patreon page. It is *almost* done! And it will be officially launching the 15th of September!
Before that date arrives I want to give you a little introduction to what you can expect. Because you might be wondering… what is Patreon?
So, what is Patreon?
It is a membership platform where you can support me and my work through a monthly payment, called a “Tier”. For each Tier you get a variety of rewards! I have set up the tiers in such a way that from the start you will join me in my sketching adventures, where you can also participate and fill up your own sketchbook. As the patronage increases, you will get more content, process videos and tips & tricks. Last but not least, on the highest tier you will get to accompany me in my graphic novel adventure!!!
Tiers overview
Let's have a fabulous coffee & sketch together!
In this tier you will join me in a monthly assignment so you can fill up your sketchbook! I will share with you my sketches, materials and final results (and some bonus fun tips & tricks!)
Access to Lens - Exclusive just to Patreons this is like Insta Stories where you will have snapshots of my studio adventures! Thank you for buying me a coffee <3
Let's become Sketchbook Buddies!
You not only get all of the benefits from the previous tier, but you also get process videos and/or how-to tutorials. Since we are sketchbook buddies you will also get tours of my sketchbooks and inspirational references.
I'm also planning on a monthly zoom session to chat and discuss drawings. This is your chance to show me what you're doing and get direct feedback :)
The Golden Sketchbook is where my bigger personal projects happen.
Join me on my most personal project yet - a graphic novel about my quest to find about my mothers past.
In this tier you not only get to be my sketchbook buddy (and all the perks of previous tiers) but you will have access to my sketches, process and finished pages of my Graphic Novel. I will take you with me in my journey, ask your opinion, share my findings as well as struggles. To also thank you for your support you get digital drawings and sketches that you can download.
Help me make this project a reality, by holding me accountable!
My aim is to create a lovely community where we can all grow together.
Why Patreon?
I've always been involved in community projects, organising events and giving workshops since 2016; all this always ‘on the side’. Like many who work in the creative field, I always push my personal projects to a side as I am very loyal to clients. I like to give always my 100%.
And this realisation is what made Patreon became so clear to me.
By backing my Patreon, you will essentially become my new favourite 'client' and this will help me enormously to block time to not only work on my personal projects, but to share with you my world, sketchbooks, inspiration; and in the process, help you expand your creativity!
As I said before, I don’t want this to be a ‘one woman band’ - during workshops and lately, in the first months of COVID, I found so much support and enthusiasm in Instagram and my followers, that I wish to keep growing this community.
If you decide to back me, I can't thank you enough!!! And if you can't pledge, don't worry! Your support in any of my social media channel is already amazing!
(And the nice thing about Patreon is that you can edit or cancel your pledge at any time!)
