I love a soft, buttery rendering style. A gloopy, velvety, warm and glowy approach, if you will.

Loish @loish.bsky.social · 6d

they're for photoshop but I believe you can import ABR files into procreate as well!

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

Sketchbooks should be a place where you can get messy.! That’s easier said than done, but I think sketching technique plays a huge role. That's why I made a tutorial about my process!

This one sparked some debate, so I wanted to ask: do you think she’s good or evil?

Muddy colors: the enemy of every painter. I get a lot of questions about how to keep colors vibrant, so it was time to make a tutorial video about it!

Studying iridescence on one of my favorite animals, the rock dove. Don’t ever speak poorly of the rock dove in my vicinity. I WILL fight you 😤

thanks so much!

Loish @loish.bsky.social · Aug 26

yeah, i definitely try to mix sharp and soft edges and be selective about where and how I blur. it's lots of trial and error in the end!

Loish @loish.bsky.social · Aug 26

thank you!

Loish @loish.bsky.social · Aug 26

I’m lowkey obsessed with blurry, soft edges lately. The smudge tool has a chokehold on me.

I am on a lifelong quest to paint super round, chunky flowers that look like cabbages. This is the latest installation!

Gradients, smudge tool, blur - they’re all great tools, until your art turns into a blurry mess. A soft rendering style is not easy to pull off, which is why I made a video about it ~ this one comes with 3 smudge brushes that I made myself! ✨

Trying to capture tension in a pose! 💪 You know, the kind where you can see the muscles and tendons popping out. RAAHHH!! 😤

I don't know if I succeeded, but at least I tried 🥲
