To complete this month's challenge, I wanted to create a little resource for all of you flame patrons! In this video, I run you through my process for creating my expression sketches and which challenges I ran into while making them. I also discuss some common mistakes that I often see when folks are drawing expressions. I also included some tips and advice! I hope you find it helpful ~

Also, I’m doing a Q&A session later today (about 7 hours from posting this) just for flame patrons! It’ll be at 4pm CET (use this link to convert to your local timezone), and I’ll be streaming into the discord server. I’ll also be recording it for later viewing, so don’t worry if you can’t make it - you can still watch it later!

Have a great weekend everyone ❤

So helpful to see how you build a consistent style across a study by tweaking as you go!

Very good tips here. Especially about reducing opacity and then doing the extra pass.

Lois you must do color theory, how you choose color in traditional and digital. I think it will help a lot of us understand value, form, contrast and even color. If it is too much then leave it. I know that the technicality and the theoretics that goes into teaching such a tedious task as color can be relentless and studios. Maybe explain it in your own way and give us the process on how you do it. I love your traditional art so much. lol Oh. Thanks for this as well!

This is super useful, thank you so much for going through your thought process as you tackled the challenge, and the tips are great! I'd be excited to see you pointing to specific submissions too and how well they tackled certain aspects of the assignment. Thanks for taking the time to film this Lois!

Thank you! I watched this, did a study of your drawings, and then did my own version of the references and they came out SO MUCH BETTER! This is a very helpful resource and I appreciate how well you structure them. Excited for next month's challenge!

That's great to hear cherice! I'm glad that you got something out of the challenge and learned from it :)

Thank you for posting this. The part about being careful with too many lines which ages a character is something I need to keep my eye on.

There is one more tip that’s super helpful - use a mirror and act out the expressions you’re drawing
