Monthly video update✨

Hi guys!

Today I finished recording this month’s instructive video. It was so much fun!! Although I struggled with some of the mediums🫠

I think I’m going to divide the video in 2 parts, if I do it in one it will just be too long. Knowing the problems my computer gives me when it’s time to export I prefer to do it this way.

I can’t wait to show you!🥰

Today's quick sketches exercise practice

As I've shared here and there, after drawing Ellie and Joel characters from The Last of Us, now I felt the need to draw the ones from the real-life series! I've seen on TikTok that Pedro Pascal is one of the easiest people to draw, so I needed to put that statement to the test it!

I started with a 7 minute sketch and ended up with a final second attempt of 14, just the double. I didn't use an eraser for any of these, which is also an ex...

Latest sketches

Today’s secret sketches update is done on a library📓 I like to go there and work in silence. Sometimes I prefer doodling as this time, although I always end up working on something important too!

I love to spend my days working on my biggest passion but sometimes it’s so much pressure and work to handle. I really enjoy having this little drawing moments between activities☀️

Students - Opening of a new tier✨

More news!

As a request, I just opened a new tier for the ones that need guidance on their projects.

When it comes to correcting or helping someone’s work it’s much better to do it individually, so I though about opening an exclusive Discord channel for the ones on this tier. We’ll be able to chat one by one, as they’ll be private!

Can’t wait to help some of you in the best way posible✍🏻✨

The Discord server is open!🎉

I can finally say this!🥰

If you connect your Discord account to your Patreon you’ll immediately will be a part of this new server I just created✨

I hope you can have a lot of fun in here. We’ll be able to chat and know us better! I’m still learning about this platform trying to make the most out of it. We’ll see how it goes!

Feel free to connect and talk whenever you like🧚🏻‍♀️

Last month you were able to choose the topic of the monthly video✨ Practicing anatomy was winning, but at the moment there's actually a tie between that one and Drawing a reference in 6 different mediums, so I suppose you want to see this one next! I got this idea from Scott Christian Sava on YouTube!

There's so many mediums I can't even choose myself, so feel free to vote the ones you like the most💐 (I'm actually scared about trying some of them...

Discord server is on the way 💨

Hi guys!

I don't know if you're familiar with the platform but stay tuned for this new benefit available for every tier✨ See you soon! View Post

Hands drawing - Extra video🌻

Hi guys!

Here’s an extra video of this quick study of hands✨ This one was done in 15 minutes!

I absolutely love to draw hands, it’s always been one of my favorite things to work with. When drawing full bodies and hands are so tiny then it’s different🤓

As I recorded it vertically I wanted to try this video option, I didn’t upload it to YouTube. That’s why you can see it posted differently :)

Enjoy!

Anatomy studies👣

Hi guys!

How’s the week going? Today I wanted to share with you the latest studies I did.

I find that hands and feet are one of the most hated things to draw in general, but I absolutely love draiwng hands! I hardly never draw feet, as 80% of my drawings are portraits, but I really wanted to study they’re anatomy. It was so fun!

I also find abs hard to draw as I didn’t know much about it’s structure, so I also did this one! Can’t wait to continue doing these✨ View Post
