UPDATE // hello June! (Patreon)

The last day of May is here. It was the rainiest May I've ever experienced in my life! But now the weather is sunny and it's starting to feel more and more like summer! Here's a little review of how this month has gone for me:
ARTBOOK
I started writing my artbook this month, which I’ll be working on in shorter increments until September when the kickstarter launches. The book will be about my style, and I also want it to be a resource for artists who are searching for their own style. Because of that, I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot this month, and that shows in my art as well. I’ve been doing way more sketch sessions where I’m testing out how my style would work on different subject matter, or pushing stylistic elements a little further than I normally would.
Q&A
The Q&A session was my favorite part of this month! I loved being able to share my thoughts on artistic style in general, because it touches on a lot of topics that I’m super passionate about: the psychological side of art, and ways that we can boost our self esteem and creative passion as artists. From the questions I got, I sensed a lot of insecurity from artists who aren’t sure that they’re doing it “right.” I hope my answers are helpful for those of you who struggle with this!
TUTORIAL
For this month’s tutorial, I took a more improvisational approach than I normally do: I just kept it loose and followed my intuition on how to address the topics. I really enjoyed talking about foreshortening and using overlapping shapes to create it! There’s one last topic listed in the poll that I did in February, and that’s drawing animals! Do you have any questions about this topic? Drop them below so I know what to cover in the tutorial!
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 through a direct message 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! ❤
