Happy Friday everyone!! How was everyone’s week? 💛

Here’s an early look at a drawing I started working on in a coffee shop! I’ve attached the reference I used for inspiration as well ☺️ I decided to step outside my comfort zone a bit with this one and try out a unique pose & composition I haven’t done before! I don’t think it’s finished quite yet, but I hope you guys enjoy seeing the progress :)

In other news, it’s time to hear your suggestions for this month’s video tutorial! I’ll be taking everyone’s suggestions in the comments and then condensing them into a poll for all of you to vote on next week 🤗 Feel free to suggest anything on your mind that you’d like to see or learn more about! 💛

Feature Friday: It’s time to give your work some love! Comment your Instagram username below and I will be giving everyone a feature on my story over this weekend⚡️ The features will start on Saturday! 😊

That’s all for now! I hope you all have a lovely beautiful weekend ✨

Love,

Lydia ✏️

You are so great with your style and flow of your work. 😍 I’d really like to learn how to stylize faces a bit more. I feel like a prisoner to detail sometimes and I struggle with learning to simplify and imply. You seem to do this with ease and I’d love to see you elaborate on your process for simplifying shapes and detail, if that makes sense! Another thing I’d like to see more on is composition. I feel like I struggle a bit with that too. @pixalis

When you go to the coffee shop to draw, do you go by yourself? If yes, how do you find the strength to do it? I struggle to get out of the house if I don't really NEED to 🤣 As for the tutorial...maybe using references to create original art? It would be related to what you've been doing lately. ☺️🌸 @yoharu.art

My week has been a boring fog of work and art block, but at least it's the weekend now! I love this piece of yours, but I am really partial to side-portraits :) I hope you've had a great week, Lydia! @shindo3art

Ana Marija

This looks amazing Lydia! The motherhood seems to really does magic to your art 💕 as each piece is better and better! @madebyinkyjar

Amber Blechschmidt

This is so incredible, as for tutorials, the way you work with hair is amazing, maybe one on your process for that? @studioskiff

Wow you are literally the biggest inspiration for me 😍😍

AmyJosi

It's looking great so far. You remember when I said I'm free now and wish to catch up on your videos? I still didn't manage to do that but I feel like I may be able to this weekend👌. I wish you a good weekend as well! @amyjosi

Dafina

You make everything look so dynamic! @dafin_art

Kay Motts

Oh she’s beautiful and looks pretty done to me. 🤣 for a tutorial I found your face proportions one super helpful. One on how you come in procreate would be great and what brushes you use. @kaymotts

Wonderchocolart

Wow shes amazing ! And looks so finished to me 😅 I cant wait for the tutorial and I am excited to learn about everything so I just see what it will be 😊✨ My Instagram is @Wonderchocolart Thank you so much for supporting us ! ✨😊😇

Wow this is so beautiful!!💖 I love how much movement and life you put into it!! Maybe a tutorial with something to do with full or half body action poses? But anything you do a tutorial on would be great! @strawberry_blonde_sketches

Janaye

Gorgeous! @blackxcatco

This piece is so amazing!!! I've been having art block but just seeing this is just giving me the boost that I need !! @elizabethdrawstuff

mlara_artescape

This looks so pretty! Loving it a lot! As for the tutorial suggestion, I think that a tutorial on Overlay and how/where to use it in a piece and against what king of background etc would be amazing! @mlara_artescape

Vrena.Art

your colors are perfect <3 @appleedenillustration

alex.doodles3

Ahhh can't wait! Have you done a skin color tutorial? @alex.draws5 ❤

Mukarram Zia

The piece looks amazing Lotus oml🥺💖✨💖💖✨ I would love to learn about making a good composition and how to render materials other than skin like cloths, leather and stuff like that 🥺💖✨💖also my username is m.m_zia ✨💖

Kimaura

I would like another face placement video, going over angles, proportions, jawline and eyebrows.

Pimdee Avihingsanon

This looks so magical! And it's great to hear that you tried something out of your comfort zone, always a good challenge for yourself. Plus, it's looking great! @little_dchan

Kjadde

Love to see you try new things ! @kjadde.dd

Janaye

I would love a tutorial on when to use harsh vs soft lines for shadows!

Sophie Artt

I love it! It's been a while since you drew a character sheet, so maybe talk about that? How to keep consistent, some special features, some emotions that are a must have ? @sophie_artt

Rose Castle

I love iiiit! I read a comment about tutorials on when to use hard/soft lines for shadows and I actually think it’d be a great idea for a tutorial too! My username is : @roselearnstodraw

Chrissu

Wow that’s amazing my internet was yesterday to bad I couldn’t write that’s this is so amazing 🤩❤️💪💖

Isabelle Algrin

The artwork is beautiful, I like the pose, it's super dynamic even though it's only the upper body :O If you have time for the feature, @moonalizart <3

Kasey

@kaseysaus looking forward to a video tutorial!

lotusbubble

Sometimes I go with a friend, but often times I go by myself! Helps me really get focused on finishing a drawing 🤗 Haha I totally understand where you’re coming from though! As an introvert I’m definitely more of a house cat! 🙈 I think I’ve just cultivated a mindset that associates going out to coffee shops with spending time de-stressing, drinking some chai tea, and drawing while enjoying some nice warm sunlight. I try to go at least once per week because it almost feels like I’m getting out of my own headspace and refreshing my mind 🤗 haha I hope that makes sense! Amazing tutorial suggestion btw! 😄

lotusbubble

Ugh I understand that feeling! It definitely feels like a fog when that happens 😞 I hope you get out of your art block soon!! 💛
