EARLY ACCESS // portrait sketches
🕑 Added 2022-04-07 08:10:21 +0000 UTCLast month I posted some portrait sketches from a small sketchbook I started using. Here are some more from that same sketchbook! With these, I was getting more comfortable with stylizing and exaggerating them, and just enjoying the process more. I think that shows a bit in the art - it looks a little more confident than my first sketches from the last post. I was really enjoying playing around with expressions and squishy faces, it was fun! I added some color to two of them in photoshop, if you're interested in my process for doing that, I can put together a little resource on it - just let me know :) Hope you like these!

These are so awesome!! Of course we’d love to see process stuff too ;) Also, could you please link me to your hair tutorial? I’ve been looking for it but haven’t been able to find it…I’m not that familiar with Patreon. Thank you :)
Aurelia de Bouard
Thank you Loish for your answer , it’s so interesting ! Would love to see a video of your process, I am amazed about how you push the shape of the face 😍
Loish
hey aurelia! i used reference loosely, and with the squishy face one I used it a little more closely since I am not well versed in how the face distorts when it's being squished!
Aurelia de Bouard
They are super pretty! Love the face squeezing feelings ! Did you used reference for it?

Oh awesome! I have a few other sizes of Moleskine, they're quickly becoming my favorite :)
Loish
yes, I based some of them loosely on reference! others are just from the imagination.
Loish
I used some loose references for these! didn't save them anywhere though, but you can find a ton of stuff over on pinterest.
Loish
thanks! I'm very unskilled at symmetry, so I just avoid it completely haha.
Loish
hey kat! i'm using an A5 format moleskine for these.
Loish
thanks so much amy!
Amy

I just noticed the subtle asymmetry in the features adds so much character your drawings. Like both eyebrows don't look the same, both eyes etc neither. I was always hell bent on creating a mirror image on both sides but that just makes things boring!
Tyler
These are stupendous! I really love what you've come to here and would absolutely love to learn more of your process!
Rob Callicotte
Oh my gosh. This is what I wanted to see. This is it!
