Cherry! (Patreon)

Henlo frens!!! I don't know if I can say "happy" April still??? Maybe hopeful April???????? Idk. But first, THANK YOU for your April support, guys. I feel super bad because I know everything's chaotic for everyone especially financially so thank you SO SO SO SO SO SO much for all your support, y'all are probably sick and tired of my thank yous on every post lmao

Anyway! Here's a lil one pic different styles post! I don't really have that many sTyLes, just.. different brushes to work with, does that count?

STYLE #1: Here's CHERRY with my favorite, my true love, acrylic brush default settings! The process video for this is the one above!

STYLE #2: I used the oil brushes that I posted here! Did that erase tool trick on the sides for that spicy canvas texture effect!

STYLE #3! Surprisingly my favorite??? I used Oberon Brush, under the Drawing brushes section! I was just trying out brushes that I haven't used yet, I don't even know what Oberon is (I just google it and its Uranus' second moon hmm), anddd it turned out super cute!!! 

STYLE #4: Gouache brush!!!! Default! least favorite tbh. I suck at traditional watercolor/gouache. And doing like... layering from light to dark colors :(

 Here's the free ref photo I got from Lena Danya! She's one of my favorites and one of the first people I followed when I started doing art!!! Super inspiring, you guys should check her out :( 

This was really fun and I probably should do another style challenge this month! Please do one like this toooooooo! I'd like to see y'alls versions of this cherry! A really fun exercise to try other styles! 

I hunted for more free brushes last time, mainly for textures, I'll tweak it and make some sample pictures on how I use it and share it with you guys! :) 

 I'm on my second week of lockdown, and I'm just starting to convince myself that it's okay to not push myself to do tons of stuff every day! I keep feeling guilty for not doing something related to work or art some days, buttttt we're in the middle of a crisis and it's hard to focus and not be stressed and not to think about what's gonna happen in the following months! I hope you guys are going easy on yourself! And that you're all doing well! Please stay safe!!!  Sending hugs to everyone!!!!! 

P.S. : Just wanna remind you all that it's okay if you won't be able to support me, no hard feelings! But I'll gather all your monthly prints and stickers and I'll be sending all of it when the pandemic dies down (hopefully soonnnnnn), so even if you cancel your support, I'll still send all your accumulated prints and stickerssss! 

Lof u ol.
