EARLY ACCESS // whisper
🕑 Added 2022-02-16 10:29:16 +0000 UTCHere’s a new digital painting that I created pretty spontaneously! I was working on other stuff and had a sudden idea for a sketch, so I started sketching it out on my laptop with my intuos pro. It’s been a long time since I drew with a USB tablet instead of a screen tablet, but I think it made the sketch a bit looser which was a good thing! At first I went with a purple ‘swirl’, but I was kind of struggling with it. I showed it to Arjen and he said that he liked the vulnerability of the girl against the dark background, and suggested changing the color of the swirl to enhance that more. So I made it more transparent and I felt like that worked a lot better! So here’s the final result.
It’s typical of me that I have literally 7 WIPs lying around to finish but then just start on a totally new painting on a whim :’) I’m glad that I have more room in my schedule to randomly draw what comes up, though! Hope you like this one!

Thank You so much for the tip!!!!! Looking forward to the next tutorial.

that's relatable, I have 6 wips lying around that I just can't bring myself to finish haha. for me it helps to just schedule ahead of time when i will be finishing paintings, and i just let myself decide which painting i'll finish when the day comes - as long as i'm working on something. idk if that helps but you're definitely not alone in wanting to skip the most boring part, haha! i'm going to put together a rendering tutorial today, maybe that will inspire and motivate you to finish off some of your paintings!

Just Beautiful! I ADORE how shapely she is, she reminds me of a genie that 's just come out of her bottle. Beautiful work!

OMG!!! The contrast between the character and the background is amazing!! I have a really bad habbit of leaving my a lot of my WIPs unfinished and having a lot of ideas that i want to draw but when i DO draw them i leave them as WIPs. Basically i never finish my artwork. Its a cycle of my creative process, is there a way break it and stay consitant on what I draw?

Loish
thank you!
Pilar Celda Fernández
WOW this is absolutely beautiful, the composition is gorgeous and that light omg. I think my favorite of your paintings are the ones that get out from a dark background.

LOVE the beautifully imperfect and realistic figure here.
Loish
thanks! i was quite inspired by really bright flash photos. I just love the contrast it gives.
Loish
hehe. maybe making WIPs gets your creativity going and gives you the motivation to just paint something totally different? creativity can be strange.

Great swirling pose and the vapor does enhance it.
Adelle Gough
Beaut! I'd love to see a tutorial on looking more in depth into how you paint eyes and eyebrows :) also, I love her belly <3
Kat Craig
Ooh I love this! And agreed, the transparency on the swirl adds so much to the piece. I love her expression too! I'm in the same boat as you though, I have so many WIPs, and then I painted a rose instead on Valentines Day lol.
Loish
thanks so much!

I did have the idea for a 'swirl' type shape, but the rest kind of formed naturally while I was drawing!

The lights is amazing! I have been working on improving my shadow shapes formed by spotlights. This is exactly the type of lighting I wanna work on.

Gorgeous! Do you think about the concept before you start sketching or do you find it while you are working on it?

Gorgeous….. your ability to simplify while implying detail is perfection…..it’s one of the hardest things to learn where & what to simplify.
Juan Gagliardo
Oh my!!! That's amazing. The swirl change was definitely the right call. Love the lighting, particularly in the belly. The light feel so real. Also nostalgic, like an old 80s cheap camera photo. And THAT hair, OMG.

Arjen did give you great advices! Though the purple version looked nice already, your final piece is so perfectly balanced, and the transparency adds a lot of poetry to the image. Love it! Good to know you too happen to add yourself extra work when you are overloaded already 😅
Rali M.
I love the transparency. It just feels so much more captivating, almost like a weird petal wrapping that keeps my eye on the character. Beautiful work, Lois! Thank you for sharing, as always! <3
Miriam Callegari
