UPDATE // fall is coming! (Patreon)

My favorite season is around the corner! September always brings to mind images of apples, fall leaves, the smell of paper and art supplies, and a fresh start. I always dreaded this month as a kid because I hated going back to school, but now as an adult, I love the feeling of new beginnings without the obligation of school! Here's a quick overview of how August went for me:

TRADITIONAL ART

Because I’ve been spending so much time behind a screen lately, I’ve been feeling this deep urge to get away from my computer and draw traditionally again. I’ve also been enormously inspired by artists like Chris Hong and Eleeza, who make beautiful traditional sketches and paintings. This month, I got started with this goal, just to ‘break the ice’ and take out my traditional tools again. It felt great to do and I'm already thinking about what I want to try next! I’ll definitely be doing more of that in September.

TUTORIAL

I’ve worked my way through the 3 poll options since a lot of folks said they wanted all three to be made! For next month, I’m thinking of either going back to procreate, or doing a traditional art tutorial about sketching or inking. I’ve done so many photoshop-based tutorials by now that I think it’s time for something new. As with the previous two tutorials, I’d like to center them around a specific challenge and how to solve it. So if you have any specific things that you struggle with while drawing traditionally or using procreate, let me know! That will help me a lot in figuring out what to make next month’s tutorial about!

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! ❤
