Early Look: Kookaburras ๐พ + what I'm up to this week! โจ
Added 2021-06-07 15:44:30 +0000 UTCHello everyone & happy Monday! ๐
I hope you all had a restful weekend ๐ I spent the weekend relaxing, spending time with family, and also working on some exciting things for you guys! โจ Yesterday I filmed this month's draw with me video, which shows the coloring & rendering process of my kookaburra studies! ๐ They were sooo much fun to study and color, and you'll get to see it all come together in the video ๐ I just need to record a voiceover & edit the footage and then it will be posted very soon! ๐
This weekend I also visited a bookstore to find a new art book to add to my collection, and I took my camera with me to film that little adventure for this month's studio vlog! ๐
The bookstore had a cozy little coffee shop inside and I sat down to work on a sketch after getting my book, and filmed that for the studio vlog as well ๐ผ The book I ended up getting is The Art of Horizon Zero Dawn! I'm so excited to study it and get some inspiration ๐
It was the first time I had been to a bookstore in almost a year! It felt so refreshing and cozy ๐๐ช I'll continue filming the studio vlog this week and hopefully finish all the filming by the end of the week! ๐
In other news, right now I'm sitting in a coffee shop and going through all your comments and suggestions for this month's tutorial video, and I'll put together a poll for you guys to vote today! ๐ We've got some amazing options this month, so stay tuned and get ready to vote!!โจ
I hope you all have a lovely start to your week and a happy Monday ๐
Love,
Lydia ๐

2021-06-07 19:11:18 +0000 UTCHaha I know what you mean!! The art in those kinds of books is INSANE ๐ But basically Iโll do master studies, which means drawing my own study/replica of a drawing in the book! Iโve always found that drawing a โcopyโ of another artwork is helpful because it gets you into the mind of the professional, to see how and why they make certain decisions with their lighting, color, texture, etc. โบ๏ธ Itโs for learning purposes only and not ever to claim as your own work obviously, but itโs so helpful! Usually art books will also have step-by-steps or descriptions of certain techniques and those are fun to follow as well ๐ I hope that makes sense!!
