Voice-over Lesson - Release 64 information

Hi everyone! In this month's voice-over you are invited to study anatomy with me and the construction of neck and shoulders. No more sausage necks from me (hopefully, hahaha!)  It is something I should have looked into looong time ago since I draw so many portraits and I have finally done it. I looked into it. I sure learned a lot but as it usually happens, the more you know, the more you realise you don't know and that keeps you wanting to learn more and more... 

It is a slig...

Small Patreon update =^u^=

Hi! How are you all doing?

I haven't been much active online for the past few days as I was working on a small Patreon update. Really small but hope you'll like it!

Iโ€™ve wanted to make new tier names and icons for a loooooong time (read: years!) and I finally did it!

Alongside tier icons I also updated the front page guide: "How does Patreon work" and re-designed Patreon Release image. It can all be seen on the Patreon page and above is an example of one of the icons. View Post

Maiyu

Thank you so much for name suggestions! I liked so many ๐Ÿฅฐ My favorites were April, Mai and Yuki and I kinda tried to combine them! Since >Maril< is already taken by a cute little blue bubble ๐Ÿ˜† I decided on Maiyuki ๐Ÿ’• Love how it can be shortened to Mayu, Miu, Miyu, Miuki, Yu and so many more ๐Ÿฅฐ๐ŸŒธ Thank you for suggestions!

Postcard design - Release 63

I have developed the design that I posted here earlier:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/postcard-release-35345310

And in the process I actually decided to change gold to silver, haha. But now I can't decide whether choose lighter or darker background... What do you think?

The postcard will be soft touch foil laminated with silver foil on top ^o^ Signed, stamped, and with a souven...

Voice-over Lesson - Release 63 information

Hi everyone! This month's second voice-over will be about mastering the pencil! Since this is the cheapest and most accessible tool around the world and I am pretty sure I won't be too far off if I say that everyone has one, I want to show you it's potential. This will be literary a master lesson to drawing with pencils. I'm putting in it everything I can think of - from different pencil types, papers, shading, smudging, dull lines vs crisp lines, best erasers, sharpening techniques, hand pre...

Early access for my lovely Patrons. The video will be live on YouTube for others in 24 hours :)

I promised that if we reached 600 Patrons I'll post a video on YouTube, and for the moment of the promise - we did, so it is all thanks to (and because of) you that I spent the past 4 days editing this 2-minute long video... xD

Surely, it won't happen again too soon. Video editing is a great challenge to me because I have big ambitions but limited skills and resou...

"You have reached the end of the internet"

Haha, I'm sure that will soon happen to someone!
That's how I imagine many people at their homes these days. And then I 'm thinking... I have always dreamt of days to finally *have time*. To do something for myself. To rest, draw, make or learn something, but in busy lives, we work so much there's never time. Don't you think we were given the perfect opportunity now? I know there is always a lot of stress, continuous news bombarding us, wor...

Voice-over Lesson - Release 62 information

Just like mentioned last month and throughout this one, voice-over of the Release 62 will be about drawing clothes - pt 2! More advanced, with a breakdown of my methods of coloring digitally and traditionally. More drawing from imagination especially how to manage the overwhelming difficulty of creases having no reference. I drew more than I can show in the preview but can't fit it all in this small image haha. This is probably the most challenging tutorial that I worked on so far. So many da...

Voice-over lesson (release 62) information!

As I am working hard, doing studies and structuring the voice-over lesson for Release 62 - which is gonna be a more advanced one on drawing clothes (part 2 to last month's) - I know I am not going to finish by tomorrow so I decided to extend the sign up deadline for this release to 20th of March. 

I'm sorry and hope you are looking forward!

This drawing is a study that I did as part of the preparations!
