Hi friends!!! Happy October! 🎃🖤

I hope that everyone has been doing well! If you are new here, WELCOME!!! Several people have joined since the last newsletter issue dropped, so if you’re new – HUGE thank you for wanting to keep up with my art! I’m so glad to have you here, and you’ve hopped aboard at a very fun time! 👻

SPOOKY SEASON IS UPON US!! And so, there are goodies!! No tricks today, but we DO have some treats! 🍬🍭🍬🍭🍬

FREE COLORING PAGE:

I’m SOOOO excited to give everyone their own free, printable coloring page! Click “download” to download a PDF of your very own copy! This is the first coloring page I’ve ever made – it is based on my drawing titled “Hangin Around,” available to purchase in my store. It is part of the Autumn Harvest print collection, which you can find here. Cozy up with this fun craft during the month of October. It can be a nice and relaxing way to take your mind off things in our hectic world, or a fun activity to do with kids this Halloween season! If you color your page and want to share a photo, feel free to send in pictures to tina.goparaju.art@gmail.com or @tinyt.doodleroo on instagram. I can’t wait to see what you create! 💜✨

Want to see what it was like to make this coloring page? You can check out a reel I posted here to watch the process.

NEW DISCOUNT CODE: YX3SZK

Use this discount code for 25% off on all my print store products! This code is available for unlimited use until it expires on 11/06/25. I will also continue my running sale of 15% off through the end of October.

AUTUMN HARVEST PRINT COLLECTION: The Autumn Harvest print collection is now available! This is my fall-themed collection featuring the pieces “Candlelight Ghouls,” depicting two ghosts cozying up over the light of a candle, “Spellbound,” an illustration of three floating pumpkins surrounded by orbs of light and wisps of white swirls, and “Hangin Around,” portraying a bat in the night surrounded by autumnal folliage and berries. All of these pieces were originally hand-drawn using alcohol-based markers, micron pens, and white water-based ink. They were then scanned to produce the archival-quality prints available in my store.

UPCOMING PIECE: I am currently working on another autumnal piece! I am hoping to add it to the Autumn Harvest collection in the coming days 🍂🍁✨ Here is a preview. Stay tuned! I’ll be sure to let everyone know when it’s complete and available as a print! I will also be posting more process footage soon, giving you a behind the scenes look at how I drew this snoozing fox.

MY REVIEWS PAGE IS UP: Did you recently receive a print in the mail from yours truly? First off – OMG!!!! I hope you liked it!!! Thank you for your order, that’s so exciting!!! EEE! But okay, okay, so – I finally have a place where you can write a review – here! You can rate your piece on a scale of 1 – 5, leave a comment, and even submit a photo! You can share photos of your piece after unpacking it, in your favorite frame, or displayed on a wall! I’m so excited to see everyone’s photos!! (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)

GOAL ALMOST REACHED: I set a goal on Ko-Fi to raise money for sturdy mailing envelopes and cardboard pads to package commissions in. This will help ensure that original pieces are safely shipped without damage. We’ve already reached 90% of my goal! You’re all so kind!! Thank you so much for your support in helping me with this effort – I can’t believe how fast we hit 90%! I can soon open up my pet portrait services!! YAY!!! I will keep everyone posted. I can’t wait to be able to draw your critters soon 🎨✨🐶🐱🐹🦎

That’s all for this month’s newsletter! As always, thank you for being here. I am SO grateful to everyone here for wanting to keep up with my art journey and being so supportive of my work! Thank you!!! You’re all awesome! Take care and until next time! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
