QUESTION // patreon video issues

Hey lovely patrons! I know that some of you still have issues with patreon video, specifically with the video freezing and refusing to play beyond a certain point. I've been in communication with them for a while now and they are still working on trying to fix it. 

They have once again...

EARLY ACCESS // bathroom

An interior sketch! I tried using a perspective grid for this one to build the sketch on top of, I feel like that worked pretty well here! Might use this technique more in the future when drawing interiors. I definitely want to keep making more cluttery, domestic type of scenes like this! Hope yo...

TUTORIAL // overlapping shapes & foreshortening - subtitled

Here’s the subtitled version of the tutorial on overlapping shapes & foreshortening! Be sure to read the description of the first video post for more information about the tutorial, as well as a c...

TUTORIAL // overlapping shapes & foreshortening

It’s time for this month’s tutorial! Some of you requested a tutorial on perspective. I am not experienced enough to give tips on two-point perspective or other types that are used for buildings or cityscapes, but I can talk about creating some perspective and depth in character art. I do tha...

EARLY ACCESS // pickaxe

Ever since I drew this sketch page from last month, I knew I wanted to finalize this character with the pickaxe. Here’s my digital take on it! Hope you like it ~ have a great weekend everyone!

MONTHLY CHALLENGE // drawing trees

It's a new month, and so it's time for a new challenge ✨ This month we will be drawing trees together! Use the reference images provided to make expressive and stylized tree sketches. Try to exaggerate the shapes and give the trees lots of personality and gesture!

UPDATE // March is around the corner!

February was so ridiculously short this year. I felt like I had to scramble so hard to get everything done! Those three days apparently really do make a difference. Here's how the past month has gone for me: 

MORE TIME IN THE SERVER

This month I spent more time h...

Q&A // February 2023

Hey flame patrons! Here is this month’s Q&A session recording, which turned out to be a whopping 2.5 hours long! I had such a good time though! This time I figured out a way to make the question I'm addressing show while I'm talking, so hopefully that will make it easier to follow and navig...

RESOURCE // skintones challenge

Here it is: the resource on this month’s challenge, which was on studying skintones! This one does a quick review of the artwork posted in the discord, walks you through my process for creating the artwork for this challenge, and discusses common mistakes and tips for tackling studies like thes...

PROCESS VIDEO // skintone studies

Here’s the process video for my skintone studies that I posted last week! It’s been sped up to 250%, so a little over twice the original speed. I also made a resource video about my process for creating these studies which will be posted in a few minutes! As always, let me know if you have an...

EARLY ACCESS // skintone studies

It’s the end of the month, which means time for me to participate in the monthly challenge for flame members! This month we did skintone studies together. Here's what I came up with! I was so inspired by what the flame members created. Such gorgeous work!! If you created artwork for this challe...

EARLY ACCESS // pose studies

I sat down and finalized the anatomy sketches I started on last week! I did a lot of cutting and pasting to exaggerate the anatomy a bit more, since I felt it was a bit too restrained and small. I wanted a more chunky angular look than I had initially set up. This is a perk of breaking up my proc...

PROCESS VIDEO // live drawing session

As promised, here is the recording of the live drawing session I did in the discord server last week! I spend a lot of time just interacting with the conversation in the chat, which is why I sometimes just start talking about random topics. Sorry about that haha, might be a bit hard to follow for...

EARLY ACCESS // sketches

Here’s the results of my monthly ideation sketch session! I’m really enjoying using these sketch sessions to explore ideas and aesthetics. I might be carving a story out of these at some point. I really want to finalize the girl with the huge pants and make her into a more detailed character ...

EARLY ACCESS // clouds

Some cloud studies! I always feel like my approach to clouds reflects my artistic confidence. When I’m feeling more unsure, the clouds I draw tend to turn out soft and formless. When I’m feeling more focused and confident, the shapes become more clear and have some exaggeration and gesture to...

UPDATE // anatomy reference

Hey patrons! It looks like the majority of you voted to study anatomy for tomorrow's drawing session! Here's the reference I'll be using for those who want to draw along ~ all from the wonderful 2023-02-15 12:32:49 +0000 UTC View Post

UDPATE // anniversary billing now available

Hey patrons! I've decided to turn on anniversary billing for this patreon page. That means that if you sign up today, you'll get billed again on the same day next month, instead of again on the 1st. This is a lot more intuitive and it avoids the issue of patrons getting double charged when they s...
