UPDATE // so excited for october!! (Patreon)

I always love October because it's prime autumn season, but there's some exciting stuff coming up as well. I'm getting on the plane for the first time since February 2020 to take a short city trip with my mom, and on October 11th, it's my birthday - and also the launch date for my new artbook kickstarter! I'm really looking forward to this month :) 

Here's a little overview of how September went for me: 

BOOK DEADLINE

I’ve been working on my third artbook since the beginning of this year, and have been brainstorming different ideas and approaches for it since 2018! It’s been such a long project in the making, and reaching the deadline for the book content felt like a huge relief. I feel like finishing this project freed up some space in my mind. My art was kind of a random mix of different things this month and that has a lot to do with the fact that I’m just following whatever impulse I feel like drawing on that day, which is something I haven’t done in a while! There’s still a lot of work to do for the book still, but I’m done making artwork for it, which feels like a clean slate. 

TRADITIONAL ART TUTORIAL

This was my first time making a traditional art tutorial! That always feels slightly out of my comfort zone as a digital artist, but it felt really great to do. I feel like the end result was a bit more spontaneous and authentic than some of my more instructive digital art tutorials. I want to do more traditional art tutorials in the future, so if there’s any specific struggles you have with traditional art, let me know! Any ideas are welcome!

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! ❤
