Here’s a little process video for Flame, an older painting of mine! The most important steps are the first ones: making the sketch and setting up the colors. After that, I just add detail until the image feels done ~ which is always a bit of a struggle because it’s so tempting to over-render 😅 do you guys struggle with that too? | Loish

Slowly, people started reaching out ot let me know that they had received their package. Selfies with a copy of the book started to appear on social media. And most importantly, the positive feedback started to reach me, through reviews, emails and messages. I was so relieved to hear that people liked it, and I w

My latest mini tutorial - sketching an afro (or basically just tight, volumous curls)! The main thing about drawing this hairstyle is to try and draw in the detail where it's really needed. It's not necessary to draw each individual curl. Hope you like - more hairstyles coming soon! Any requests for future tutorials welcome!
