My life changed when I took Shannon McNab’s Pitch Your Portfolio. Before taking this course, my work was disorganised. I’d send a random email to a company and a week later, send another email to a different company. I rarely contacted the same company twice. My art licensing career was stuck in limbo.

I hope you are all safe & well and getting used to the ‘new normal’ under Covid-19. Here in Ireland we are still under lockdown to help curb the spread of Coronavirus.
I wanted to share with you another FREE Colouring page to download, print out and colour in (you can also download it to a tablet and colour it in on a drawing app). It’s suitable for children and adults.
I’d love to see your page coloured in, so tag me on Instagram @tinadevinsdesign (or email me at tinadevinsdesign@gmail.com) and I’ll share your masterpieces. You can print it as many times as you like.
Also if you know anyone that might like this, do share this blogpost with them. Colouring-in is a great stress-reliever, and a finished piece also makes a nice memento to post to a grandparent or loved one.
To print the image – just click on the drawing to open the full size, download it and print with your home printer. The image is 8 x 8 inch format so is suitable for U.S. 8.5 x 11 inch paper and European A4 sizes.
Here is another FREE colouring-in page too, if you haven’t seen this one.
Take care, keep busy while you’re staying in, and keep safe!
Chat soon,
Tina 💕✨
Hi everyone. I hope you are all well and safe. In this challenging time where we’re all staying indoors as much as we can to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus, I just wanted to offer a FREE download of one of my drawings for you to colour in.
The butterfly is a powerful symbol of endurance, transformation and hope. In this unprecedented and scary time, there has been an outpouring of good vibes from all communities – people pulling together, coming up with innovative ways to create a sense of normality and community whilst staying apart. It’s wonderful to see all the good news stories coming out of this lockdown.
