New painting preview + Next work in progress ✨

Hello dear patrons! How are you??

Last month XP-Pen contacted me to see if I wanted to do a honest review of one of their products so they sent me the Artist Pro 12 tablet to try out. I was super excited because I was genuinely interested to see the quality of their tablets and compare them with Huion (the tablet I've been using for almost two years now is a Huion tablet) and of course Wacom, though sadly, my experience with Cintiqs are almost nonexistent haha. 

I've done a f...

Drawing session #07 //Mixed media 🦀✨

Hey guys! 💖

Here's a new video I put together, no voice-over this time, just a chill drawing session. I'm enjoying a lot doing these kind of videos and learning how to edit them properly so they are more entertaining to watch! Also, leaving some footage in real time is way more relaxing than seeing everything speeded up.

And I think it's easier to understand each step better that way too.

Materials:

✦ Strathmore Vision watercolor paper, 140 lb

✦ Kuretake G...

Colivia- character sheet // Step by step 🔮☄️

Hi guys!!

I did a little break down on how I do the character sheets for Colivia (an OC of mine) since are pretty easy and simple. I didn't experiment a lot here I just followed the same steps I did with the previous one to try to achieve the same feeling. This is the one I did a few months ago:

I think the main difference between those two is that I tried to be a bit more clean and do mo...

Anatomy studies 📓✏️ // part 1

Hi patrons! Hope you're well and safe! 

I've been going through a folder with some studies I did on drawing classes I took and also live model sessions from college and I thought it would be nice to share them with you. This were all done based on references! Nothing from imagination. 

I've always study the human body parts separately, at least at the beginning. I feel it's more helpful and less overwhelming than trying to learn all at once. Remember you don't need to kn...

High res- illustration preview + Lineart! ✨☄️⭐

Hey guyssss!! I've working on this illustration for a couple of weeks now and it's finally done. Yay! I'm so happy with the result! Her name is Grace and it's  a character from a comic called Soulfire, this was a commission for someone on Twitter, as part of Creators4comics, a initiative to raise money for comic book shops and indie stores. 

Here's the lineart:

⭐ W.I.T.C.H. // Video timelapse ⭐

Here's a video process for you of the Witch doodles I did a couple of days ago 💕

 I used the Dry Ink and Tinderbox brushes for almost everything, the highlights at the end were done in a hard light layer mode with just a soft brush :)

Take care!

Super secret drawings 🔮🌟

Hi patrons!!! ❤️ I'm so sorry I've been so silent these past few days! 

As I mentioned some days ago, on Friday I needed to film a little interview and activity for a DC show that will air in a month or so, as part of promoting the release of Primer, the comic I worked on! I was extremely nervous to speak in English and I was afraid I wouldn't sound natural while talking and filming my face at the same time, and though it gave me so much anxiety, I'm glad I did it. It was a lit...

Sailor moon redraw // step by step 🌕✨

I really liked how this one turned out, considering I didn't invested too much time on it, so here's a little break down!

Some info:

• It's all done in Photoshop
• I used only 2 different brushes: my regular hard round brush for everything and the particles brush for the flecks, freckles and all that stuff!
• The noise texture is super simple! Go to filter- noise- add noise and set it to 9%-15% ...

Witch preview + Sailor moon challenge high res 🌟

Hi patrons!!

I took a break from mermaids and I winded down a bit with the Sailor Moon redraw challenge today, here's a high quality version of it. 

 Only when you try to draw it, you understand how tricky that pose and the expression actually are! I struggled a bit to get it right but it was fun to draw without thinking too much

I also sketched some Witch doodles a couple...

Moonlight ☄️🌛 // step by step

Wanted to share this too for all of you guys from the Sea Song tier! ✨💕

Done in procreate on the Ipad Pro. I'll edit a video soon!

Brushes I used:

-Dry Ink and Tinderbox brushes for almost everything: base colors, details, shadows, etc. Anything that has to be a solid color or fine details, it's done with those two

-Watercolor wash clean from the MaxPack from Max Ulichney. I use that one for big areas, like the bg, the water, the light sources. Everything that has...

WIP + new illustration + life update

Hi patrons!! How are you? 💖

This has been a crazy week for me honestly and still figuring out how to cope with certain things. I'm feeling low on inspiration and incapable to finish all the things I wanna do right now. I miss my parents, I haven't seen them since February! and since my country went into lock-down due to the virus on March, I've been in quarantine for almost 54 days now. I thought I was okay dealing with it, but these past few days it started to feel... heavy, for sur...

I need your help! Which colors?

Hi guys! I'm working on a couple of illustrations at the same time, making progress slowly but surely.

I did a couple of color tests digitally on this new illustration, before I move on into painting the actual thing with traditional mediums. But I can't decide which palette I should use!

Let me know which one you prefer :)

Thank you 💕 

New mermay preview + WIPs ✨

Hi patrons! 💕

These past few days have been a little bit less productive than others, I didn't get much done. But here's what I pulled out so far. 

First, I didn't took much photos of this drawing while doing it but here're a few photos of the initial steps, if you're interested:

Drawing session + Q&A 🌻✨ // Voice-over video

Hi guys!!

I kept pushing recording the voice over on this video because my apartment is really noisy during the day and it was very annoying and distracting :c so I waited until the night to do it. Now it's 2 am on the morning and it's done! 

Hope you enjoy it!

Regarding the question about how I add weight to my lineart, I think the best would be to do a separate video doing a little demonstration, so stay tuned!

I'm going to sleep now. Have a lovely night or day!...

My Photoshop brushes ✒️✨ + textures for your work

Hi patrons! Hope you're well! 💖

I got a question about how I add textures to my digital art so here you can download my Photoshop brushes. These are free brushes that I've been collecting for years,  a few  others were made by myself and a bunch of others that were created by my boyfriend -who is great with this stuff!- 2020-05-05 23:56:05 +0000 UTC View Post
