Q&A // July 2024
🕑 Added 2024-07-27 21:47:25 +0000 UTCHere is today's Q&A session! It was a really great conversation with a lot of focus on mental health. It got interrupted halfway through because my computer ran out of disk space for the recording, but it resumes again after that!
Some of the topics covered in this session are:
How I approach reference - including examples of a reference board I've used
How my patreon evolved over time
My controversial take on whether "natural talent" exists
Social media: whether to keep posting with the new AI developments, how to get visibility, alternative places to post
Whether creating art is an important job - and my take on what really matters when choosing your career
How much time one should spend on their art / how much time I spend on different types of drawings
The story behind my recent emotional artwork
I also mention an artist that I got my phone background from. The artist is Nadaskii!
I hope you enjoy this session! If you have any questions for next month’s session, head on over to the #ask-loish channel in the discord and post it there! ❤

I missed the live QnA because of sudden travel but thank you so much for my questions Loish! It was absolutely awesome to see your workspace!

glad you found it helpful! it is definitely common for artists to get into that headspace because art is so much about improvement and wanting to be better. it can take a dark turn when we constantly think we are not good enough! that's why it's just as important to learn to be okay with our skills :)

The part where you talk about mindset and setting achievable goals, (e.g. do gesture sketches for 30min) rather than trying to produce good art really resonated with me so thank you! It sounds so reasonable when you explain it, it's crazy how we get into our heads and become our own worst enemies.
