However you celebrate (or if you’re just enjoying a quieter season), we wanted to take a moment to say how grateful we are for this community. Being here together~ sharing ideas, learning, building, and supporting one another~ really means a lot. This time of year can be joyful, complicated, busy, or tender… sometimes all at once. Wherever you’re at, we hope you’re able to find a little rest, warmth, and space to breathe. Thank you for being part of ACI and for showing up with so much curiosity, generosity, and creativity. We’re really excited for what we’ll be building together in the year ahead. ✨ 🎁 Wishing you peace, rest, and small moments of joy this holiday season.

As we move toward a new year, we wanted to share a simple look at what’s taking shape inside ACI Skool. Our focus for 2026 is depth, accessibility, and sustainable creative growth. Here’s what you can expect: 🎥 Video Tutorials: Short, focused tutorials covering techniques, tools, and creative approaches~ designed to be easy to revisit and apply at your own pace. 📚 Lesson-Based Videos: More structured video lessons that go deeper into process, fundamentals, to accompany lessons and add some creative thinking~ without excess stress. 🧩 Large-Format Classes (Start → Professional) In-depth, multi-part classes that guide you from foundations through professional application—focusing on Illustration and Typography, including process, refinement, presentation, and real-world use. 🗓️ Monthly Art Calls Live, low-pressure community calls for connection, discussion, Q&A, and shared creative time. No rush. No grind. Just thoughtful learning, shared space, and room to grow. Thank you for being part of this community~we’re excited to build this next chapter together~!

No big goals~ just intention.✨ What do you want your creative energy to feel like this week? (Soft, curious, experimental, slow, joyful, messy~ anything goes~!)

Creative souls ✨🎨 ~ with the year coming to a close, what’s something you want to reflect on 🤍 and with the time left either work on… or let rest 🌱

I didn't see a midweek check-in so I figured I'd create a thread for this week. What's everyone working on?? Has anyone started on any new projects or finished one??? Or maybe you're in maintenance mode and trying to reorganize your space. 😄 I'm currently working on my next Kauai picture with my new sennelier oil pastels. I also got a color wheel to help with my color mixing. I'm loving these so far.
