Mexican Gothic Lace Palette Trio

This month I wanted to draw some lace and my patrons voted on the theme and color palette. For this set I imagined book covers or movie posters to stories that don't exist

In my store now for $20 and $2 shipping world wide

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy?
Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???
Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine
Nephew: …
Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

Last image of the month for my Patreon! The color palette this month was so small I was a little anxious, but it turned out to be extremely powerful.

Join by the 30th to get this set

I love the versatility in Yoshi’s style. Any theme, but undeniably theirs.
November Patreon Reward 1 of 3

Theme: Mexican Gothic

My patrons voted on this theme for the month, so I've been listening to the book of the same name by @silviamg.bsky.social while drawing. I'm about 1/4 of the way through and it's starting to get spooky!

I can’t stop looking at the fabric!!

The depth and volume is so striking yet so soft. I can fully imagine how that fabric is meant to move/feel.

My next presentable watercolor attempt, after a few more flubs and restarts. 😅 I still have a *lot* to learn, but I'm really enjoying the process along the way.

NGL it was seeing the crazy robust brushes and purchased 3D models that the Korean webcomic people were using that really tipped me over the edge. I’m spending this month just learning how to make some of my own
this is the way. also clip studio has ribbon brushes which is like one of the best digital art tools ive ever used on top of the brush engine just generally being better than photoshop's
I did it. After a year of using clip studio for my Patreon rewards and client projects I deleted photoshop after continuous used for the past 20 years (jfc)

Not only was the price insane, the ethics questionable, but it’s such a bloated piece of hardware it was crashing constantly

I said on Patreon, but I’m using this month to experiment with making some repeating patterns in clip studio. This is my first one! There is going to be a lot of lace this month

This month my Patreon voted on the theme Mexican Gothic, and you might want to follow because I’m feeling very excited about this sketch but also extremely nervous about if I can pull it off or not

Some things that have arrived recently: last week I got my physical copy of Starward Lovers by @itsmemikib.bsky.social from his recent Kickstarter. This week I got my prints from @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social’s monthly print club on Patreon. The theme is Shibari Vampires. A frame has been ordered.

Speaking of which: Only recently, I discovered the German version at my local library while browsing the fairy tale section and took it along with me of course. Such a beautiful book!
