RESOURCE // expressions challenge
Added 2022-10-28 07:00:41 +0000 UTCTo complete this month's challenge, I wanted to create a little resource for all of you flame patrons! In this video, I run you through my process for creating my expression sketches and which challenges I ran into while making them. I also discuss some common mistakes that I often see when folks are drawing expressions. I also included some tips and advice! I hope you find it helpful ~
Also, I’m doing a Q&A session later today (about 7 hours from posting this) just for flame patrons! It’ll be at 4pm CET (use this link to convert to your local timezone), and I’ll be streaming into the discord server. I’ll also be recording it for later viewing, so don’t worry if you can’t make it - you can still watch it later!
Have a great weekend everyone ❤

So helpful to see how you build a consistent style across a study by tweaking as you go!

2022-11-02 13:43:02 +0000 UTCThank you! I watched this, did a study of your drawings, and then did my own version of the references and they came out SO MUCH BETTER! This is a very helpful resource and I appreciate how well you structure them. Excited for next month's challenge!

2022-10-29 10:57:26 +0000 UTCLois you must do color theory, how you choose color in traditional and digital. I think it will help a lot of us understand value, form, contrast and even color. If it is too much then leave it. I know that the technicality and the theoretics that goes into teaching such a tedious task as color can be relentless and studios. Maybe explain it in your own way and give us the process on how you do it. I love your traditional art so much. lol Oh. Thanks for this as well!
