Early Look: Mermaid Redraw 🦋✨ + Feature Friday! 💌 (Patreon)

Hello everyone! 🥰 I hope you’re all having a lovely Friday ✨

Here’s a little sneak-peek of my mermaid redraw! 🐠 The original is from exactly 1 year ago, and it’s so interesting to see how much my style has changed in just a year! 🙈 I used to have a much more painterly style, and now I’ve found that I really enjoy a sketchier drawing style with an emphasis on lines and pencil strokes 😌 Doing a redraw always makes me excited to see how my style will evolve in another year! What kind of art were you making a year ago? ✨

I’ll post a process video and a PSD of this drawing soon! 💌🎞

In other news, yesterday I posted this month’s tutorial video on Sketching & Lineart and I’m sooo happy you guys have enjoyed it and found it helpful!! 😍 Thank you for all the positive feedback 💛 If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you check it out! 🥳

There are still so many things to learn about sketching, gesturing, and lineart, so I have lots of ideas for future step-by-step tutorials and videos too 🥰 It’s so fun to share techniques & tips with you guys 💛

Feature Friday: And now it’s time for another day of artist support! ✨ Tonight I’ll be sharing artwork on my Instagram story from comments on last Friday’s post! Drop your insta username below if you’d like to have your work shared next Friday 💌

I hope you all have a lovely & restful weekend! 💛 I caught a cold so I’m trying to rest and take it easy 😌🧸 I’ll be spending the weekend drawing, playing Breath of the Wild, and editing the process video 🥳🎁

Love,

Lydia 💌
