And just like that, the fall months have flown by. Sadly, I spent most of them sick on the couch. From the regular flu to covid, a wide range of viruses decided to use my body as a host this fall. But I have now vanquished them and am ready for the chaos of the holidays! Here's a little review of how this month has gone for me:

NEW TECHNIQUES

You may have noticed that I talked a lot about a new set of grainy brushes that I used this month. Because I’m looking for ways to render without putting too much stress on my arm, I decided to try using some noisy brushes and I love how this affects combines with my style! Moments like these are a reminder that running into problems or roadblocks on our creative journey can ultimately have a beneficial effect on our creativity. I often discover the most helpful tools and shortcuts when I’m trying to solve a problem, and the solutions that I find usually have a huge impact on all the artwork that I make afterwards. I feel really excited for what this technique can bring to my future paintings! I’ll definitely be testing it out more in the coming weeks.

SECRET SANTA

December is around the corner, so we decided to launch a Secret Santa event in the discord server! It was a huge success last year, and I can’t wait to see what will come out of it this year. 88 people have already signed up, and it’s still possible to join! Signups close on December 3rd, so if you want to be a part of it, make sure you join the discord server (open to spark and flame members only) by linking your patreon and discord accounts, and sign up by following the instructions in the #secret-santa channel. I’d love it if you joined!

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! ❤
