NOVEMBER CHALLENGE 🖤

Bonjour my little demon,

I have something exciting to share.

Today marks the launch of the Portrait Gems: every week, I’ll be sending you a portrait lesson to help you level up your drawings.

But why stop there?

To celebrate this project and my return to social media, I’m planning a special November event. Instead of just a weekly email, how about this: 1 day = 1 portrait gem!

Starting tomorrow and for the whole month of November, I'll send you a daily portrait gem—a quick, actionable tip to improve your portraits.

It’s going to be a challenge for me, but it’s my way of saying thank you for your support!

Sounds good?

See you tomorrow!

Bisou mon ami,

Léa
