What's coming up // November 2024
🕑 Added 2024-11-04 10:00:06 +0000 UTCIt's the last month of this fall season! I just got back from Lightbox Expo in LA and am battling my jetlag, but I'm really looking forward to this month. It's a calm month without too much travel or commitments, which means I can really focus on some art ideas that I've been putting off. This is what you can expect from me this month here on Patreon!
This month's tutorial is going to be on Painting complex detail, like foliage, feathers, or hair! I'll be running you through shortcuts and efficient techniques you can use to give the impression of dense, complex detail without having to painstakingly draw each detail for hours. I've been writing down some notes and brainstorming my ideas. You can expect to see it in the coming week!
My latest tutorial is always available to Spark members, which means you can get it for just $5! After that, it goes to the backlog - which means you need to be a Flame member to access it. So if you want access for just $5, make sure that you sign up this month! And if you want access to the full backlog of 50+ tutorials, upgrade to the flame tier ๐ฅ
This is a much calmer month for me than previous months, so I have some time to get back to some art ideas that I've been putting on the backburner. I want to dive back into creating some original paintings, and I also want to try out gouache again. I have plans to make more traditional art at some point this year, so I want to dabble in it again to see how it feels!
I'll be posting WIP versions of all my drawings, from first sketch to final piece. I'll also be recording my process, so you can expect a process video from me! I'll be sure to include information about how I created the drawing, from tools to creative struggles.
You can find all of my previous process videos here!
Flame members get all of the above, plus a lot of extra stuff! This is what Flame members can expect from me this month:
This month, we are drawing the same head from different angles. This is a great way to practice construction and envisioning a head in a 3D space! This one is definitely challenging (pun intended), but there are ways to simplify your style in order to get it right. I found some excellent examples that I've included in the inspiration folder!
You'll get reference images, inspiration, tips, and resources to help you on your way. Check out the challenge here! And if you're participating, don't forget to post your progress in the Discord server!
I'll be participating in the challenge as well, and recording my process so you can watch how I created it. I'll also be making a 20-25 minute video in which I dicuss my process, take a look at the art that you created, and discuss common mistakes. That way, you'll be prepared if you want to draw a head turnaround in the future!
You can watch all of my previous challenge resource videos here.
As always, I'll be answering your questions in a live session. This month's session will be taking place on November 24 at 5PM CET! Visit this time zone converter to see what time that is in your area - and be sure to double check because daylight savings time kicks in around this time of year, so it can be a different time than you expect. I will post another reminder closer to the date itself so you don't miss it!
I also want to do a second session sometime this month, because I didn't manage to cover all of the questions last time. I haven't pinned a date for that one yet but I will let you know as soon as I figured it out!
You can watch all of my previous Q&A sessions here.
I'm really looking forward to getting the most out of this last autumn month! I'm in the mood to dive deeper into my art and I'm so grateful that you guys make that possible.
Thank you for supporting me for another month of Patreon content! It means a lot to me and I'm so grateful that you're helping me to create personal art and learning content. I hope you'll enjoy this month's art and videos!
If you're interested in signing up to get access to this month's content, sign up here! You'll also get access to the backlog of content and a range of tutorials depending on which tier you choose.
Flame members have access to the full backlog of tutorials! That's over 50 in-depth tutorials on various topics, like construction, choosing colors, and rendering. Check out the full backlog of tutorials here!
Both Spark & Flame members have access to the Loish Patreon Discord server! There, you can share your art, talk about art-related topics, and participate in fun challenges. We have a great one coming up this month, so come join the community!
To join, just follow the steps outlined here. Be sure to follow them on a desktop!
I hope you all have a cozy month full of art and inspiration! Happy creating!

hey mini muffin! you can sign up and then cancel your membership before the next payment. I can always reimburse if you still got charged despite cancelling. If I were you, I'd wait just a week to sign up - there's an exciting discount coming up on Wednesday next week!

Can someone explain how Patreon payments work? I'm interested in the Flame tier, but I can't commit to monthly or annual payments. Is it possible to pay for the flame tier for just a month or two?
