UPDATE // Spring is officially here! (Patreon)
Content
It's the last day of March! The difference between last month and today is enormous. Last month it was cold and rainy, today the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the first fluffly green leaves are growing. I'm so excited to spend more time outside and to finally wear some lighter spring coats for once, haha. Here's a little review of how this month has gone for me:
MIXED BAG
I feel like my art this month has been a mix of all sorts of different moods and subjects. Some has been super colorful, some has been more muted, some has been more storytelling focused and some of it is purely for visual appeal. I guess I sometimes go through these phases where I feel more scatterbrained and focus on any random thing that I feel like doing that day! I worry that I’m not focusing enough on one thing, but it is a lot more fun to dabble in different things.
TUTORIAL
I had so much fun making this month’s tutorial on making your sketch presentable!. It was based on a suggestion by a patron, and I would have never thought of it myself. But making it made me realize how important presentabality is in my work! For next month’s tutorial, I’ll be tackling clothing, which I’m also excited to do and I have a lot of thoughts on!
UPCOMING ARTBOOK
In the next couple of months, I’m going to spend more and more time on my upcoming artbook, which will be about my style. I played around with that idea by drawing the stylization study I did this month, and I’ll probably be doing more exercises like that. It helps me think about the subject and formulate my thoughts on the idea! I’d also love to do a Q&A about the topic of artistic style next month, because I know a lot of people have questions about it. So if there’s something specific you’d like me to talk about in a Q&A session about style, feel free to post it below or send it to me directly!
As always, thanks so much for your support! I'll be sending out links to this month's google drive folder today. If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to share them with me here or e-mail to loishh@gmail.com. Any and all feedback is welcome! I hope you’ll continue to be my patron and enjoy the content coming up next month! ❤
