  • Allow me introduce to Lily. I have no idea who she is but I like her. She is a result of a free-create doodle session, but I kind of want her to be my personal stylist and bff. 😂. . For reals though, for the longest time I never thought I was a proper artist because I couldn’t draw a traditional portrait. I was too scared to take drawing classes in high school. I cried from fear in my first college drawing class. I was convinced I would be found out as an fraud. . Sometimes I still feel like a poser, like the reasons above are signs that I do not belong as a illustrator. Actually, I almost let my imposter syndrome stop me from posting this portrait today. . But here’s the deal: it’s okay to be a beginner, it’s okay to share your work (no matter what stage you are at), it’s okay to feel the fear, take a deep breath and do it anyway. . On her stories today, my friend @seekandbe asked what we wish someone would have told us about creativity, art or believing in yourself when we were younger. And I think that’s my answer: be a beginner, share your work, it’s okay to be scared, take deep breaths and keep going. And don’t forget to enjoy the process! It’s going to be okay. You belong here. . What about you? What would you tell your younger self about believing in yourself? What about imposter syndrome. Do you struggle with it? How do you overcome it?. . . . . . #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #creativelifehappylife #christiancreative #womeninspiringwomen #doitfortheprocess #createeveryday #girlpower #lifeofanartist #theimperfectboss #fwportfolio #seekinspirecreate #whitespacespring #ipadlettering #showyourwork #makearteveryday #womenwhodraw #letteringdaily #handlettering #womenofillustration #moreillustrations #dailydoodle #illustrationoftheday #womenwithpencils #motivationalquotes #cultivatewhatmatters #womensupportingwomen #propelwomen #best_of_illustration
  • Happy Monday, friends—whaddya say we create some magic this week!? ✨ It’s seems as though I’ve taken a bit of a break from Instagram 🤷🏼‍♀️😜. But I promise it’s for good reason. I’ve been hard at work on a handful of exciting projects*. And this little doodle is inspired from one of those projects—a custom illustration. I can’t wait to show you more, but for now you can screenshot this reminder in my stories and use it as a wallpaper, if you’d like! ✨. . *Full disclosure: I was also dealing with fatigue, the flu, and anxiety. I don’t want to give the illusion that everything behind the scenes is always opportunities and excitement. Sometimes just getting through the day is magic enough. No matter what season you are in right now, whether you are flourishing or battling tough stuff or maybe it’s a little bit of both, you can create magic✨. . . . . . #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #creativelifehappylife #christiancreative #womeninspiringwomen #doitfortheprocess #createeveryday #girlpower #lifeofanartist #theimperfectboss #fwportfolio #seekinspirecreate #whitespacespring #ipadlettering #showyourwork #makearteveryday #womenwhodraw #letteringdaily #handlettering #womenofillustration #moreillustrations #dailydoodle #illustrationoftheday #womenwithpencils #motivationalquotes #cultivatewhatmatters #womensupportingwomen #propelwomen #motivationalmonday
  • There’s been a lot of new faces around here and I’d love to get to know you a little better. So, let’s do a round of #fridayintroductions! *waves hello* 👋🏻Hi, I’m Kercia (like ker-sha) and here’s a little bit about me and my heart:. . I’m a designer and artist, who loves to draw and letter little reminders to cultivate creativity and encourage personal growth, self care, and vulnerability. I am still fumbling and stumbling through this whole small business thing, but I am so excited for all the ideas stirring around in my head. So many ideas, so little time. Ya feel me?. . I love true crime podcasts (#SSGDM, anyone?!), board games and reading. Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of illustrated children’s books and poetry and it’s giving me such much joy and inspiration. I’ve also been slowly creating a workout routine that I actually look forward to and play volleyball on Sundays Tuesdays. At the same time, though, I love coffee and pizza and tacos, but you know, it's all about balance, right?. . Uffdah, I think I just unloaded a bunch of randomness on you. Hope you didn’t mind 😜😆. .

  • Happy Valentine’s Day, friend! I know today can be hard for so many, not just those of us that are single. Whether you are married, single, divorced, widowed, today and always you are worthy and accepted, never alone, filled with purpose, known and loved, beautiful, and significant. . We live in a broken world, where heartache, loss and loneliness abound. Everyone is fighting their own battle(s). Love and kindness (to ourselves and others) goes a long way. Never underestimate how the simplest of kind acts can change the trajectory of someone’s day. . So today’s prompt is to spread the love by doing something kind for someone. Maybe it’s a stranger, maybe it’s your partner, maybe it’s kid or a friend you haven’t talked to in a while, maybe it’s yourself. Chocolates and candy hearts are great, but let’s go deeper today. Let’s — maybe for just one second—make someone feel seen and loved. . Swipe on over for a few ideas on how you can spread the love today. Then check out my stories for another wallpaper and template. . You are worthy and loved, even in your heartache, even in your struggle. You are seen and know and loved.

  • In a world telling us that we aren’t enough, it’s important to recognize the things we love about ourselves. So, go on girl and love yourself as you are right now: worthy, beautiful, loved.

  • Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by Valentine’ Day.🙋🏼‍♀️😜 Yeah, girl. Me too, me too. Don’t get me wrong I have chocolates and cute puns, but if I can get real honest with you: I’ve never had a valentine to celebrate with. I try not to subscribe to the idea that we need a significant other to complete us or that single-ness is something to be looked down upon. I truly believe that we are worthy and enough exactly as we are. But I will admit when Valentines Day rolls around, it's tough and it can be sad and lonely. . But you know what? I know I am not alone in this struggle. So, that’s why I have decided to combat those negative feelings with a little spread the love experiment. Each day this week, I’ll share a little resource or prompt or encouragement to help us all spread the love, no matter our relationship status. I don’t want to give too much away today but these resources/prompts will help us not only celebrate the things we love about ourselves but also those we care about. . What do you think? Want to join me? drop me a little ❤️ in the comments if you’re with me! Let’s spread the love this week!. . First up, per usual: a Monday motivational wallpaper. You know what to do: screenshot them in stories, lovely!. . . . . . #risingtidesociety #calledtobecreative #creativityfound #creativelifehappylife #christiancreative #mycreativebiz #doitfortheprocess #createeveryday #waketomake #lifeofanartist #theimperfectboss #fwportfolio #valentinesday #whitespacewinter #ipadlettering #showyourwork #makearteveryday #womenwhodraw #letteringdaily #handlettering #brushlettering #lovelettering #dailydoodle #instalettering #womenwithpencils #letteringcommunity #motivationalquotes #cultivatewhatmatters #womensupportingwomen #propelwomen
