June is almost over! (Patreon)

The end of the month is already here! I feel like time is flying by so fast in these corona times, it's just so weird. Do you guys have that too?

I really appreciate all of your support this month!! Here’s a quick review of how this month went for me:

FIRST TUTORIAL

This was my first month creating a tutorial instead of a sketchbook tour! It actually went a lot better than expected. Tutorials are usually quite painstaking for me to make because I’m a perfectionist and end up spending lots of time on editing and making sure I say the exact right words in the voice-over. For this tutorial, I changed the format a bit and just talked casually while drawing, which was a lot easier and felt more natural. I really enjoyed making this one and I’m looking forward to making another one next month!

DRAWING FROM THE IMAGINATION

I’ve been spending less time on studies and more time just drawing random characters from the imagination! That’s a sign that I’m feeling more inspired and recharged creatively. Focusing on sketches and studies in the previous months has gotten my ideas flowing and has sparked my imagination. I hope you like some of the characters I created, I might dive more deeply into the world they live in for future paintings!

SKETCHBOOK & IPAD

I’ve been leaning more towards sketching in my sketchbook and on my iPad lately, because the summer weather has been really inviting and it’s so tempting to work outside! I’ve even started finishing up some of my paintings on the iPad, which is something I usually avoid because I always felt more comfortable in Photoshop. However, I’m finding that procreate is working better for trying different brushes and textures, so I might be doing this more often in the future! If I do, I’ll be putting together a resource with nice brushes for rendering and adding finishing touches to digital paintings.
