I used to hate the smudge tool, but now I love it. It took me a while to figure out which settings were just right for a perfect blurred edge!

I don't gatekeep, so I made a free smudge brush set! I've been using it in all my recent art. Grab it here: links.loish.net

Thanks for staying with me all, it has been a busy period in private life.
As a "thank you" I created a reel on Insta of my latest oil painting. I want to show it to you as well 😉

Very happy that I decided to try a Huion tablet and Clip Studio Paint.

Idk if crop will kill this, but anyway… I like this passage by Ted Orland.

Maybe it’ll be helpful for other artists too.

A passage by Ted Orland from The View from the Studio Door. It reads - Personally, I take it as an article of faith that when you make art, you are making the world a better place. Everything that happens afterwards - whether to you or to your art or to society - flows directly from that initial act. You job is to make the art. That’s what artists do.

It was fun, but I probably should learn how to use brighter colors.
