hi! I'm Kitty, a freelance children's book illustrator & homeware designer. I started this channel as a way to reconnect with the joy I felt creating art as a child. The goal of cosy art club is to have fun creating & enjoy the process of being playful, cosy & feeling safe enough to explore making art again.

a cosy & autumnal sketchbook session. I light some candles and paint a fall sketchbook spread using HIMI gouache paint and then move onto an animal sketch using Faber Castell Polychromos. This is a relaxing ASMR & music draw with me (no talking) perfect for putting on in the background for some ambience & body doubling while you draw!

Draw a sonny angel with me while I talk about how I deal with the fear of making art as a professional illustrator. I show my full digital art process using an iPad and Procreate & chat about some of my tips for getting over the anxiety of drawing, finding inspiration & finding time to draw! If you found this video helpful I'd love to hear how you get over the fear of making art & see what you ...
Love watching the whole process. I'm so excited to see the finished book. the Characters are just beautiful !
thank you very much!! Me too, hopefully it won't take too long :)
Hello ❤
Hello!! I'm so happy you're here :)
Best artist ever!!!
haha thank you so much!! <3
I love your energy.
thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say!
I wish your video gets millions of views because you have great content. Try running ads for your channel using some kind of system.
thank you so much!! This isn't my job so I don't make any money from my videos, I just do them for fun :)
awww this was so cute!! im planning on watching a bunch of digital art vids especially on procreate cause i wanna learn so badly
have you started?
@@bhdal im saving up to but a tablet actually🥲
oh that's so exciting!! You definitely should, learning how to create art digitally is the best thing I've ever done <3
Love the illustration kitty❤. y'know for someone who has that name, you sure do love dogs😂😂
thank you so much!! hahah I do love cats too to be fair but my dog is my best friend, he's the sweetest <3
These two videos, the mouse and the mole were so helpful! 😊 I’d love to see more illustration process like these, they were very enjoyable to watch and all the procreate tips were so helpful too! 😊💕 thank you for sharing 😊
Oh thank you so much!! They were such a joy to create, I'm so happy you found them helpful! If you ever have any questions or anything specific you'd like me to cover do let me know 😊
beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
thank you so much!!
Wow, I’m thrilled to have found your art considering you’re so new to UA-cam! Most artists I follow have been around here for years. Welcome! I’ve been enjoying your videos and I love your style - especially your latest of Emma. After listening to you during this video I felt compelled to tell you what I’ve learned from many years of being an aspiring artist and watching/listening to others - Draw what you love and the rest will follow. Like you, I adore Sonny Angels and have a small collection of my own. This strawberry Sonny Angel illustration is adorable, so don’t be so harsh on yourself about proportions, etc. There is a talented whimsy to your illustrations that make them so yummy. Plus, you have the great advantage that you have mastered Procreate, a process that is quite confusing for an oldie like me. Looking forward to see your next video.
Oh thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate you so much! You're so correct, drawing what you love is the key the everything, what are your favourite things to draw? If you ever have any procreate questions I'd be more than happy to help!! Hope you're having the loveliest weekend <3
The cutest worm, that I ever seen ❤❤❤
thank you so much!! he's so silly, I love him
I really enjoyed the movie Emma .. it’s one of my favorites of all time .. its so funny. I’ve seen it so many times, but now, after watching your video I kinda feel like watching it again I really enjoyed your video, it’s so helpful and relaxing! Your videos are among the fewest I like to watch in normal speed ❤️ .. I almost never watch youtube below 1.5x I hope u’ll keep your video style ❤❤
it's such a feel good, comforting movie isn't it! Thank you so much for your kindness, I really appreciate it <3 I'm glad you're able to watch on normal speed haha, I'm from Liverpool & people speak very fast here so I try to speak as slow as possible but it still comes out quiet fast. I'll definitely keep this video style, it's such a joy to create! ❤❤
@@cosyartclub I meant that I enjoy watching your videos on normal speed ☺.. I definitely can follow you in 1.5x .. but I like them more on normal (good job) 🤗
It's how well they always turn out at the end that gets me. I really need to start putting in more faith in the process whenever i am drawing lol😂
got to trust the process lol
I like your accent 😊 And your art turned out beautiful!
thank you so much!! so kind <3
You are a wonderful artist, I enjoyed this video very much.
thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video, it was so much fun to create <3
This is wonderful!!! Holy moly you are so talented! I’ve been getting back into Procreate drawings and this inspires me so much! Thank you!
thank you so much, you're so kind!! it's just lots and lots of practise haha, I'm so excited for you to get back into procreate drawing, I'd love to see what you create!! <3
Oh wow, I love how calming this is to watch and makes me realise how much I really need to get back into drawing! So thank you! What's the orange 'How to be a children's book illustrator ' book in the background can you tell me the authors name so I can have a look for it please? X keep these videos coming - I watched another one on characters the mole, worm and pigeon - that led me to your channel! X
thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say!! The book is How to Be a Children's Book Illustrator - A Guide to Visual Storytelling by 3D publishing. It's a fantastic book I'd really recommend it, I bought mine from their website but it's also available on amazon! Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything, I'd love to see what you create!! <3
So happy I found your channel 💃🏾 What size canvas would you recommend for a 10x10 childrens book spread?
thank you so much!! Usually I create a 10" x10" canvas, trace the outer edge to create a square and then adjust the canvas size to be a few cm larger to give myself a bleed area for printing. If you set it to 300DPI you should have around 50 layers to create with :)
subbed immediately
thank you so much, I'm so happy you're here!!
Ahhh! These little garden friends are perfect!!!
thank you so much! I'm so happy with them, I think they'll fit the story perfectly :) <3
This is so cozy and beautifully done!!!
thank you so much!! <3
8:43 I was actually taking notes on the pen holding lol I was surprised she mentioned it but it seemed like it could be helpful drawing on a tablet and pens also hurt my joints sometimes
Absolutely love this illustration ❤and your accent is adorbs❤ new subscriber
@@20tessyluv thank you so much, that’s so lovely of you to say!! 🥹♥️
this is so cute!! I feel like your voice really fits the vibe of this piece if that makes sense lmao
@@brookeelle5687 hahaha that’s so kind!! Thank you 🥰
I find your art so lovely !
thank you so much, I'm so glad :)
Such a sweet video. Thank you for talking us through your thought process. Really cute characters.
thank you so much! It's been such a joy to draw them & be able to talk about them, I had so much fun :)
I really appreciate what u are doing - these tutorials are so helpful in the earlier stages of my procreate journey .. please do continue coz you are doing an amazing job 😍
thank you so much!! I really appreciate hearing that, if you ever have any specific things you'd like me to cover let me know 🥰🥰
wait i love your art style so much!
thank you so much!!
Hermoso, me encanta tu trabajo
¡muchas gracias! <3
I think what makes your art so intriguing is the emotional connection you attach to them. Its almost like you are speaking about your long lost Best friend.. Interesting🤔
this is such a lovely take on my work, thank you so much! I definetly feel a strong emotional connection to my art, sometimes it feels like these little guys already exist and I'm just helping them show up. It feels like I'm surrounded by friends when I make art <3
@@cosyartclub Keep blessing us with your inner child ✨✨It heals my soul❤️.
I just found your channel yesterday and already subscribed. I am just starting on my art journey on Procreate (from scratch) and seeing your work gives me the motivation to learn from an expert 😊🪱🐁🐦
oh thank you so much for subscribing! Procreate is incredible, I think it's such a fantastic app & their team is so supportive of artists, I'm so excited for you to create some art!! I'm definitely no expert but I'm more than happy to help if you ever have any questions ❤😊
Those characters came out soooo lovelyyy ♥️♥️♥️
thank you so much Juliana! I was trying to not put too much pressure on myself but I'm so happy with how they turned out, I can't wait to draw them within scenes :)
Love your process <3
thank you so much!! <3
Loved the video ❤ do you use a screen protector on your iPad?
thank you so much! I don't, I've never tried them I'm a little scared they'd wear out the tip on my Apple Pencil
@@cosyartclub I've used the paper feel ones for ages and it hasn't made any difference to the tips but it does make drawing on the ipad much nicer :)
WOW!! This turned out beautiful! It made me pick up my iPad and draw with you! I have to say- I LOVE LOVE LOVE your accent. I can't wait until you post your next video! Keep being creative 🤍 Thank you for showing us your process-you are so talented! 😍
oh my gosh thank you so much, I've been so nervous about speaking in my videos because of my accent haha! Please do pick up your iPad and draw along I'd love to see what you create!! <3 my next video will be up later today :)
I'm an artist too and i love your artworks, so cute and cosy!
oh that's so cool! Thank you so much, what kind of art do you create?
A nice big rubber pencil grip might make the Apple Pencil easier on your hand. 🌸
thank you so much for this tip! I tried it today but it didn't help unfortunately, the issue is my joints are hyperextending backwards so I think I might have to give finger stints a try, but in the meantime being a little creative with my grip seems to help :) x
so relaxing🩵
thank you!! I'm so glad you think so 🩵
I am a psychological student and i can able go guess the persons mindset by just listening the way of communication. From my guess and your way of talking : Your absolutely a pure soul ❤. What is pure soul ? : a person which is honest, emotional, warmhearted, kind, etc.
haha that's so sweet, thank you. I was nervous my accent might annoy people, I didn't expect this response! best of luck with your studies <3
I’m glad I found your artful, cozy channel!
thank you so much, I'm so glad you're here!! <3
I love the backstory!
thank you so much! I'm hoping to add more pieces soon 🥰
you have such a steady hand, it's really nice to watch you paint :3
you are super talented! keep up <3
you're so kind, thank you so much lovely <33
I was just about to comment on how you held your pen before you apologized😅😅. Love your Illustration Girl, I will be coming back for more
haha I'm so sorry! I'm usually able to edit it out but this was a long illustration and my joints were not having fun 😅 thank you so much, I'm so happy you're here!!
@@cosyartclub I had to buy a really fat pencil grip for my apple pencil, my hand was always so tense before and it is painful. I highly recommend getting one if you don't have one!
@@cosyartclub lol don't edit it out again, it has a lasting impression, I am sure other people might also find it interesting😂😂
hi! I'm a new subscriber💗
hi!! thank you so much for subscribing, I'm so happy you're here <3
Such a chill painting session ❤ it's beautiful to create cozy art 🎨
Thank you so much! It’s my favourite way to create art 🥹🥰
Your work is super cool ❤️
thank you so much, that's so kind of you to say!!
Could you say more on your face drawing method? Ive never seen the circle with the lines before. Would love to see in a video. Nice work btw! 😊
Thank you so much, I'd love to do a video covering that! I don't have a traditional art education, I'm completely self taught so I'm not sure what you'd call the technique I use but its really simple and helpful for plotting the points of a face when drawing from a reference :)
