UPDATE // the summer is almost over!
🕑 Added 2020-08-31 10:00:02 +0000 UTC... and honestly, I'm relieved! We had a brutal heatwave here and it made it kinda hard to focus on drawing, haha. Not to mention, fall is my favorite season! Here’s a quick review of how this month went for me:
ENVIRONMENTS
This month I jumped back into doing more environments. I usually draw them from reference and think of them as studies, but this time I wanted them to have more of an illustrative, storytelling feel. I feel like that really helped me to loosen up and enjoy the process more! I based it on a few different reference images at the same time, which allowed me to let go of the details and focus more on the overall feeling of the environment I was trying to capture. I drew most of them in quite a short time frame - between 2-3 hours. I’m happy I managed to do that and definitely want to do more of these environment pieces in the coming months! Process videos are coming up soon. I’m so grateful for all of your support in allowing me to experiment and learn new things, it’s been incredibly rewarding and I feel like I’ve improved so much in the last months because of that!
DIGITAL PAINTING
It’s been a while since I finished a digital painting! Sometimes I really need to dig up some old pieces and fire up that engine again. I tend to gravitate more towards sketches and studies so it really helped me to just post the WIPs at the beginning of the month and get your feedback on that. This always gives me a motivational push towards finishing some of the paintings I have lying around! I will probably be spending more time on the snake painting next month!
TUTORIALS
After having wrapped up the third tutorial, I’m getting more and more into the flow of making these! I’m really enjoying this lecture style format. You guys voted for simple tricks for lighting/mood, which will be very different from the previous ones which were more about the first steps of setting up a drawing. I’m very excited to make it for you guys! I’ve gotten a few comments asking me to make a procreate tutorial in the future as well, so I will include that option in this month’s poll!
As always, thanks so much for your support! I'll be sending out links to this month's google drive folder today. If you have any feedback or questions, please feel free to share them with me through a direct message or e-mail to loishh@gmail.com. Any and all feedback is welcome! I hope you’ll continue to be my patron and enjoy the content coming up next month! ❤

May I get the google link as well? It seems I have a dm with the link 3 month ago but never got around to looking into it until now and its not longer working.
Loish

Shirley Swa

Loish

Rohan
Thank you for clarifying ! 😊

Google Drive seems to be giving a lot of "The server encountered an error. Please try again later." when trying to download the files, which I've only ever seen when files were too big and Google struggled to zip them.
Loish
definitely! you can access all the posts through the patreon post feed. so just scroll through, or click on the tags if you want to look at older posts of more specific content!
Lyd
Your works are such a breath of fresh air.
Loish
that's so odd! technically i have the same settings as the previous ones. is it possible for you to download the files to your PC?
Rohan
Hey Lois , Just a quick question 😊 * Do newer patrons have a chance to receive access to older files ? (Basically the months prior to them joining 😅)
Mel Hogan
Hey Lois, I tried to copy the files to google drive and only gives me the shortcut option. Perhaps a permissions issue?

I became a member of your patreons last week and I was amazed by your feed and also how you handle your patreons. This is an adventure, being here. Thank you very much for sharing your work with us. :)
