💎 My plans for you in 2025
Portrait Gem #40
Bonjour my little demon,
You’re now one of 19,676 souls collecting my gems. Whether you just joined or have been here from the beginning, thank you so much for reading 🖤.
If you haven’t already, you can:
Happy New Year to all of you!
Today’s gem is full of promises, and I hope it adds a little magic to your 2025. Here’s what’s in store:
1/ The backstage of my art.
I started my journey 5 years ago, and along the way, I’ve been lucky to have thousands of little demons cheering me on and asking to see more of my art.
Rather than starting a paid Patreon, I decided to share the backstage of my art freely with my dedicated tribe.
Each week, you’ll get one or two Gems filled with:
stories behind my characters,
process videos and “draw with me” sessions,
personal updates and exclusive sketches,
early access to special events,
special discounts on my artworks and courses.
You’re part of something special now.
2/ A new platform for the tribe.
In my 2024 recap on Sunday, I shared why my year was so chaotic—and let’s be honest, it showed in my newsletters. This year, I’m striving for stability, consistency, and, most importantly, a strong, connected community.
That’s why, with this Gem, I’m welcoming you to a brand-new platform I’ve chosen to make the Portrait Gems experience even more interactive and community-focused.
Here, you can collect the previous Gems in one place. But you can also Like, share, and reply to my posts easily!
This platform makes it so much easier to connect. Together, we can start more conversations, come together for events, and reignite the spirit of the Demon Tribe!
3/ Tribe events.
This year, I’m putting a big focus on events—bringing the community together in new and exciting ways! Throughout the year, and especially on weekends, we’ll be hosting:
Project launches like exclusive course openings
Print drops and art sales
Art challenges to spark creativity and connection
Whether you’re here for free content, exploring my art, or diving into my courses, every event will be designed to help you learn, have fun, and feel like a true part of the Demon Tribe!
4/ 🔥 The Tribe Spotlight 🔥
Finally, let’s talk about the Tribe Spotlight—a space to celebrate you.
At the end of every Portrait Gem, I’ll highlight a study, comment, or artwork from one of our tribe members. It’s my way of showcasing your creativity and dedication.
If you’ve created a study from one of my videos, have a story related to one of my Gems, or even feedback, send it to me by email or in the comments—it might be featured in the Tribe Spotlight!
(And don’t forget to include your name or IG handle so I can credit you!)
5/ Tell me your expectations.
Voilà, that's all for today. I hope you’re as excited as I am for what’s coming in 2025!
But now, I’d love to hear from you: What are your expectations for Léa’s Portrait Ge

Bisou,

I've loved getting portrait gems and learning something new when I check my emails. This year I want to work harder on making commissions, I plan on making stickers, buttons, ect as a vendor at conventions while doing small affordable custom commissions of artwork. I still want to grow my artistic knowledge by learning more about light and full body anatomy.
I am an avid reader of historical fiction. Wanting to draw the characters I read about led me to take a couple of short art classes. I'm glad I found you on Instagram because I enjoy your style and posts. Your advise has been helpful to me. Thank you
