The unique comfort of wearing a huge sweater, curling up into a ball, and scrolling endlessly.

Dark meets light ⚫⚪ I’m hooked on painting chromatic aberration effects by hand. Even more fun than just hitting the filter button!

Still trying to find my flow with colored pencils. Every time still feels like the first time, so I’m trying to find a workflow that I can replicate. More to come! ✏️

Sunsets are so pretty, but whatever you do, DON’T look directly at the sun!! Be safe: look at paintings of the sun instead. I am posting these for your personal eye health. You’re welcome!

This one started as a drawing in my sketchbook, and then she blossomed into a digital painting 🌸 Still on my lifelong quest to paint the roundest, chunkiest, most squishable roses.

It’s warm again and I’m craving the beach. But not just any beach. Specifically a beach with beautiful cliffs, crystal clear ice-cold water, and vibrant green algae. I don’t live near one of those so I will draw it instead 🌊

Lighting doesn’t have to be so complicated. If you memorize basic lighting, you can use that as a starting point for a bunch of different styles! Join the lazy club and use shortcuts like I do 😌 I have a video that explains everything ~ find it here: www.patreon.com/loish/posts/...

Wrinkles and textured skin are beautiful, vibrant, and full of life. Folds and loose skin have beautiful shapes and volumes. If you view aged skin through the eyes of an artist, you gain a deep appreciation of its beauty 🖤

Listen, I’m still afraid of inks because they’re so permanent. But I’m trying to embrace them more and be a bit bolder with them. Baby steps!

a question for those of you in the game industry: you you guys find that there's ageism in the industry - basically that older people have a harder time finding work as an artist? any helpful insights / experiences on that?

Anyone remember the Christian Reese Lassen artwork on folders and trapper keepers? I had them in middle school, that art was next level.

90% of commissions I’ve drawn were about capturing existing people in a stylized way. I've also made a lot of fan art! It can be hard to get the likeness right, though. How do you balance stylization with accuracy? I made a whole video about it ~ find it here: www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

I’ve been trying to figure out how I can translate my soft digital style into a risograph by separating all the color channels. I have not printed them yet, so I have no idea if they’ll work! I still need to pick the final colors! Which color combo do you like most?

Some soft pose studies. I just love smudging stuff.

I’m a character artist. I’m used to painting skin and hair and clothes... soft textures, basically. I found out the hard way that this approach does not work for rocks. Unless you want them to look like weirdly shiny flesh blobs instead 🤔

Remember when it was winter? It feels like a million years ago now. We had a lot of snow here in the Netherlands which was a rare experience. Here’s some paintings inspired by that special time ❄️ Done in Procreate!

Fabric folds are so hard. At least for me. The more detail I add the more they start to look like frosting on a cake. Crispness does not come naturally to me. But I try!!

Continuing my colored pencil adventures. The most satisfying part is adding the bright yellow. The glow it gives 🤌

A gift for @itsthebeanie.bsky.social, one of my incredible discord moderators! They requested something with critters and something spaced themed, so it naturally followed that I had to draw space raccoons ✨

Why is it so hard to find good pose reference to convey tension? Good thing I've got my own extensive experience to draw from 🥲

After lying around untouched for over 20 years, I finally tried out my ancient set of colored pencils. And now I’m wondering why I didn’t use them for so long - I love drawing with these!

As a person with acne, this helps my self-image: studying the faces of people who have it, and realizing they are still beautiful even though their skin has imperfections.

artists! the social media landscape has changed so much in the past years. what are you doing to promote your art / get visibility? what's working / not working for you?

My #artvsartist for this year! I loved working with bright colors, glowing lights and swoopy shapes. The smudge tool had a chokehold on me and completely changed my rendering process. I wish I’d had more time for my art, but I still think I churned out some decent pieces. How was this year for you?

Painting over my sketches in Procreate to create colorful heads - my favorite thing to draw, so I do it over and over again.
