happy you found it helpful jessica! 😊

Jessica Morgan

So helpful! I also am not the greatest with animals and I really want to get out of my comfort zone and get better with animals.

Loish

so sorry to hear that gustavo! sometimes it takes a bit of practice before we can figure it out. i have a tutorial about shapes specifically that might help answer your question! you can find it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tutorial-flowy-64260217

I tried to draw with you and my drawing was really ugly, but that made me saw my mistake and ask you, how do you make those beautiful and smooth shapes? Really, its amazing, I know you draw for a while but I really want to know what should i train or practice to make shapes this beautiful like yours

Loish

thank you marla! really appreciate the support!

Marla Bonar

I’m a new member, someone has probably already said this, but the shape you drew for the body of the Guinea fowl was a cat’s eye shape. I’m enjoying your tutorials and they encourage me to keep practicing drawing flowing lines

Loish

glad you liked it! :)

Kolja Kähler

Finally watched this :) Found it very fun and useful to draw along (in the first half) and compare to your solutions, picking up a neat curve or hatching here and there. Wouldn’t mind more sketching sessions like that once in a while, especially animals.

Loish

so glad you enjoyed it!!

This was an amazing tutorial, I can see immediate improvement in my sketching as a whole and this really helps me look further than simply drawing what I see as that is something I also struggle with since I learnt to draw the same way from references! Thank you so much!

Loish

glad you liked it jeremy!

super simple and effective stuff, helped me a lot!

Loish

thank you! I talk a little bit about having fluid lines in this tutorial: https://www.patreon.com/posts/tutorial-warmups-47743894 it's mainly a question of forcing yourself to draw with more confidence and over time you'll get better at it :)

I LOVE when you do videos so we can see how you think! I'm always so impressed with how easy you make drawing look. Do you use specific exercises to keep your lines flowy and loose? I struggle with my lines looking too stiff

Loish

hey sam! you can find it in this brush set: http://cbr.sh/fg8up?ref=loish

Loish

thank you! I'd definitely try to separate the neck fur from the body and legs, and try to capture the volumes in the face as well!

Loish

thanks for the kind words! honestly I usually default to google because it's what I'm most used to browsing. I like pinterest too though!

Hali Benabou

Thank you for making such great tutorials. Is there a place you generally like to look for reference pictures, or do you just search endlessly through google images until you find reference pictures you like?

Thank you for the very well made video. How would you give volume to a white shepherd puppy? It's just puppy coat and I'm having a hard time giving it some structure so it feels less 2d.

Sam Gauss

I love the video tutorial! Is this brush part of a brushpack I can find either on this patreon or somewhere else? Thanks!

Holly Westlund

Thank you!

Loish

have fun!

Loish

hey holly! 'flow' is a setting in photoshop that makes the brush a bit softer. in procreate, that's usually the bottom slider on the left side, with the top one being size :)

Holly Westlund

Question: When you say you are setting a brush to a lower flow, what does that mean? (I work exclusively in Procreate for budget reasons, so this may be a Photoshop thing.)

Asher Tail

Thank you for this!!

Pricella

Looks like I'll be drawing some animals today :)

Loish

I'm glad you liked it! It's hard to cover 'animals' in general since there are so many but hopefully this gives ideas on how to approach any animal sketch.

Loish

so glad you like it! and yes, guinea fowl remains the cutest animal to me :) so blobby!

Loish

glad you liked it debbie!

Deb Merhege

Wonderful video! I love your approach to painting the volume of the animal, rather than the fur (or at least not much). Your animals come out with so much personality. Thank you for sharing!

Jackie

Really love the way you draw animals. And the tutorial. We want more :-)

Radka Kopecka (radu.k.art)

Such a great tutorial, as always!! I'm so excited to try all the tips, I'll definitely draw some animals tonight! :) Thank you for inspiration! btw. I had to laugh when you said - here's one of my favourite animals - guinea fowl - they are so funny :))

Devotionart

So exited to watch this! The way you draw animals is amazing 🙌🏻💖

Ece's Art

This is such an amazing and detailed tutorial! The fact that you have shown to draw different kind of animals was very helpful, thank you Loish <3

Radka Kopecka (radu.k.art)

Yess, working for me too, thanks so much Lois! :)

Loish

for me it's working again btw!

Loish

thanks so much for the support :) hope you enjoy the content here!

Loish

hey! sorry about that, it looks like vimeo is down. it should work again as soon as they've resolved the issues!

Elina Mauno

It's fun seeing how differently you go about looking at animals than I do :'D Though, our styles when drawing in general are very different. But most of the sketching process for humans I feel like I do it the same type of way, while with animals I do it quite differently XD
