Q&A // December
Added 2022-12-30 10:00:02 +0000 UTCHello flame patrons! Here is the full Q&A session from yesterday. Thanks everyone who dropped by, it was a fun and cozy session as always!
Topics covered in this session are:
- Technique: textured brushes, trying new media, color editing tools in procreate, finding new color palettes
- Subject matter: deciding what to draw next, building a professional portfolio
- Social media: is it necessary in order to build a career in art?
- A short interlude in which I show you my cats
- Motivation: Not feeling great about one's own work, fdealing with stress and not being able to draw as much
For the next session, feel free to drop any questions you might have into the #ask-loish channel on discord, or post it below - I'll go through them and try to answer as many of them as I can during next month's Q&A session! Have a great new year's and thanks so much for being a flame patron!

2022-12-30 20:24:33 +0000 UTCSeconding this β I would love an overview of your workspace too! I don't have any drawing-related injuries but I've been really trying to work on an ergonomically-friendly workspace for myself both for my job (writing) and for art, and any insight would be so helpful. Plus I just love seeing people's workspaces :)

2022-12-30 17:02:42 +0000 UTCHello Lois! I've been following your work since Devianart days and it always amazes me how much you evolved since then. On top of being a sensational artist, you still manage to have a really cool way of teaching and sharing your knowledge. Thanks for that. =] I'm a professional artist myself and my question is regarding ergonomics. I remember from one of your videos that you went through a difficult time when you had an arm injury because of overuse, as I recall, and couldn't draw (with your right arm haha) for some time. I always wondered how is your desk setup in that regard, Cintiq angle, keyboard placement, posture, etc... And if your workflow changed in any way to avoid another injury. I'm going through a "tennis player elbow" injury right now and would love to hear the path you took to heal yourself. Sorry if you already answered this question and thanks in advance! M.
