Early Look: Mermaid Sketches 🌼 + what I’m up to this week! ✨
Added 2021-05-03 16:44:59 +0000 UTCHello everyone & happy Monday! 🥰 I hope you all had a restful weekend 💌
Last night I stayed up really late sketching because I felt inspired to practice drawing some mermaid poses 😌🌙 and I decided to screen-record the full coloring & rendering process for a real-time process video for you guys! 🥳✨You’ll get to see how I play with the color palettes, build up the values & colors, and add my finishing touches 💌 Since it’s screen-recorded you’ll get to see my full screen while I work which includes all my layers, brushes, and more to help you understand the process better! ✨We’ll start editing the video this week and hopefully post it this week too 🥰 stay tuned! 💛
In other news, this week I’m also going to start working on a step-by-step tutorial about upper body anatomy with a mermaid theme! ✨I’m gonna keep most of the details a surprise but I’m excited to get started ☺️💛
The other thing on my to-do list this week is to start filming this month’s studio vlog! 🎞 I like to take you guys with me on a fun little adventure in each vlog and this month I’m thinking of going to the science museum to draw studies of plants and fish 🍃 I wanted to go there last month, but the museum was sooo crowded so we decided to go to the art museum instead and draw there🙈 fingers crossed it won’t be as crowded this time and I’ll get to draw some fish! ✨
Anywho, it’s a very busy to-do list this week!! I’ll keep you guys updated 💛 I hope you all have a beautiful day and a fresh start to the week! ✨
Love,
Lydia 💌

2021-05-03 19:37:06 +0000 UTCThank you so much!! ☺️ I get all my references from Pinterest actually, you can search for “lotusbubbleart” and find my account there! I have boards dedicated to face references, full body, clothes, etc. 🥰 As for making sketches that flow and aren’t stiff, I want to make a tutorial about it soon! 💛 But I think the brush you use to sketch has a big impact, and I prefer the Edge Control brush by Jingsketch :) you can get it in his free brush pack set on Gumroad! It’s nice because the brush doesn’t create any harsh lines and keeps everything loose and airy in the beginning ✨

2021-05-03 17:19:43 +0000 UTCWow, like the poses, we can feel the vibe/emotion in them! For Vlogs you did good to skip on crowded places. We love going places with you, but we love most to know that you are safe with all the pandemic stuff out there. Thanks for all the inspiration and motivation you bring us and have a wonderful week!
