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
I made a tutorial about the digital tools I use during my drawing process! Things like clipping masks, the lasso tool, adjustment layers, and more ~ www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

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!

yepp!! i made a photo album with my bad skin pictures, but sometimes i still wonder if it was really that bad. but it was the feeling of having multiple deep infections that was so distressing.. and knowing i had to tend to them for at least a week before they turned into pigment scars.

thank you! and thanks for sharing that picture! it's lovely :)

aww, tell her i appreciate that! i do feel like there's more conversations about skin imperfections these days, that weren't happening when i was growing up. i felt sooooo alone in my struggles because no one i knew had it.

thanks so much! and totally agree. imperfections make things interesting and human.

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.

Every year, we do a secret santa event in my discord server. This year, I was asked to draw a Christmas ghost for Frederik Gheysen, one of my long time patrons ❄️

agreed. i have no clue why it's pushing certain stuff onto my feed. feels like a waste of time to figure it out, since it's changing all the time anyways.

i think there's so much value in real-life connections! was there any specific way you approached the con in order to get the most out of it? did you just walk up to people or did you table?

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?
