yes i feel the same! nice smooth paper with a slight warm tone to them... they work the best for me.

Moleskin Sketchbooks Totally Rule! Their pages are a bliss to work with when sketching.

These are so beautiful! I know you mentioned you've been inspired by eleeza recently and looking at these I can see that! Those "random" flowy lines and soft shading fit beautifully into your sketching style!

Loish

hehe yep! it's painted over a photograph.

Sometimes it’s good to re-calibrate after a long time of studies or a burnout. I find comfort zones can be a good reset button!

Silvia Mercuri

So inspiring

Sharon Tu

Never mind lol. Dumb question. I saw the pencil photo lol. Answered my own question.

Sharon Tu

Before loading on photoshop so you take picture with phone or scan these?

Raven Christineth

Thanks for your suggestion Loish!! I’ll give that a try and see what my brain comes up with! I’ll be keeping an eye out for that tut 🤍 hope you have a lovely weekend (:

Lion Art Studio

Mmm I get that totally get that, it’s irritating.

🤦‍♀️ Artists…… we are our own hardest critics! I would be ecstatic if my sketches were this amazing. 😊

Loish

thanks cristian! I didn't record it but I think I will make another one fully recorded. maybe as a topic for a tutorial.

Loish

thank you!!

Loish

I haven't created a process video for that but I think I did record the process, so I might do it soon!

Loish

thanks! I was so disappointed in myself while drawing these haha. I'm glad it doesn't show at least.

Loish

thanks kat!

Loish

thank you! and yes, haha, I really did forget how to 'loish' and it was unsettling :')

Loish

i think that would be a good topic for a future tutorial! but in the case of these potraits, it helped me to sketch out the pose based on the ref, but then put the ref away and do the rest from imagination. it kinda forced me to be a bit more creative!

Loish

haha, i guess that's one way of looking at it. I just think it's always frustrating when the outcome doesn't match the intent!

Mimi

😂 girl you are so lucky to have the “my drawings are too realistic” as a problem”. Wish that was my issue!! :)

Raven Christineth

Stunning ! I always fall back on realism myself too since it’s what I started with and still find it difficult to stray from it when stylizing! If you hav any advice on how to maintain style through a piece without over relying on realism I’d love to hear your opinions!🤍 thanks for sharing

Loish forgot how to "loish" for a minute? :D I have a great patreon you can support that will take you step by step through the process of learning how to Loish :D Great stuff as usual!

Kat Craig

Aw I love these! The bright vibrant colored ones are amazing too! And I'll echo what others have said, these all feel very 'Loish' styled to me. You have a very distinct way of drawing eyes and lips, I can almost always tell its your work <3

Lion Art Studio

These are really great, I struggle with keeping my work stylistic…. Hearing that you also find it difficult when you’ve been doing a lot of realism studies is kinda nice…it makes me feel there’s hope for me yet! However, I don’t see the struggle, your sketches look effortless & definitely stand out as Loish pieces…. I’d know that without seeing your name attached.

Christian Müller

It's a nice change of scenery, I like your environment studies as well though, as someone stuck in realistic mode. I'm happy you found some time to do something in your style again.
