SKETCHBOOK TOUR // 2017-2018 sketchbook

Hey guys! Here's my latest sketchbook tour ~  this one's really different from the other two as it's one of my least finished sketchbooks! Lots of half finished stuff that I never really posted. I talk a lot about how I use a cylinder techinque to flesh out the shapes, use lines to find the planes in the faces, and an embarassing story about powerpuff girls. Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!  

And as I said yesterday, thinking of all of you in these crazy times. Hang in there and feel free to vent if you need to! ❤

haha that's a great one!

When you mentioned being too precious with sketches, I do that too. So I doodled Gollum on a piece of paper and stuck it at the front of my sketchbook to remind myself not to be too precious with my sketches 😋

Juanita Bailey

The book is great, just the companion app doesn‘t work outside the US for some reason. Fortunately he has a few YT videos, too.

Kolja Kähler

thank you, i'm glad you enjoyed it! i haven't tried this method before but i am definitely intrigued! i might get the book.

Loish

Contrary to what you said, I found it super-interesting what was going on in that sketchbook! I love how open you are about showing the messy stuff, it's really instructive. Regarding the gesture drawings, have you ever tried Mattesi's "force" approach? It's really fun and rollercoastery to do, although still hard to control for me.

Kolja Kähler

it's a moleskine sketchbook! this one was a notebook with thinner paper.

Loish

what thickness of sketchbook do you use?

Xuan Delgado

thanks so much!

Loish

It's fun watching your sketchbook tours and then instantly recognizing your finished works as sketches. I'm a big fan of learning other artists' thought process behind works.

Irvin Pajarillo

Yeey! I love when you make voice overs! =) I'l grab a coffee to watch it properly! ❤️

Isis Marques

I really enjoyed the amount of portraits in this one! Changing your go-to sketchbook size can do a lot for reassessing why you make the decisions you do, so it was cool seeing your development. Not sure if you've shared something like this on Patreon yet, but I'd love to see a little breakdown of how you color your sketches in Procreate! You mentioned using specific blending modes, so I'm curious what your workflow is.

Adrien

I am glad I am not the only one that never draws on the first page of my sketchbook... and have RARELY actually finished one. By the way... Perfume Genius is awesome. Great recommendation. Thank you as always for sharing Lois.

Shane McCracken

Thanks so much for all the work you’re putting into these sketchbook tours. It’s so cool to get to see that part of your artistic process. 💕

Nora

that's a huge compliment :) i'm glad my work has this effect! enjoy your creativity! :)

Loish

It´s so funny, every time I sit down to take a look at the new posts you make, I am not able to finish because I get inspired very fast and need to sit down making something on my own. I need to say, I never have that when I see all the finished and super poished work on Instagram or Deviantart, I get discouraged very fast because my brain says "you will never get there". But somehow it "clicks" for me when I see other artists in progress. But especially here, with you. I am happy.

it's this one: https://c10.patreonusercontent.com/3/eyJwIjoxfQ%3D%3D/patreon-media/p/post/34615265/97de8a1789c74286931148b33735f60f/1.png?token-time=1585746720&token-hash=6pY9Z2q-pSXEZxy5O7GtkbF9n8cXQL-ieOhhZ9bp7Ss%3D

sometimes I do! I just take a photo, put the high res version in my software, then paint on top with a multiply layer.

Loish

thanks! just a mechanical pencil like always. literally just the free ones that i pick up at hotels.

Loish

haha yes i'm a huge star wars fan.

Loish

I don't usually put too much thought into what I draw on my sketchbook, but I guess with the thought processes it does help develop one's sense in drawing haha. Thanks for sharing!!

Crystal

Every time I see your artwork, I'm inspired to draw. Your art is so beautiful. Thank you!

Rob Callicotte

I’m so happy you love Star Wars, specifically Padme and Kylo lol! I don’t feel so alone anymore!

Jane Driscoll

What kind of pencil are you using? I love the texture and gradient of it.

Joseph Jolton

Do you paint on photos via photoshop? Than yes, how?

Atılay Sargın

Thank you for posting this❤️ I'm on quarantine and it gave me inspiration to draw!

Michele

You mentioned the brushes you found for Procreate. Can we find out which ones? Good job, good job! It's always interesting to see the work of other artists!

Hélène Langlais
