I used to hate the smudge tool, but now I love it. It took me a while to figure out which settings were just right for a perfect blurred edge!

I don't gatekeep, so I made a free smudge brush set! I've been using it in all my recent art. Grab it here: links.loish.net

Have you tried the new Procreate brushes? I was trying to get a creamy, painterly look, but it all blended together into a muddy mess 😅 I still love the painterly style, so I figured out some tricks to make it work!

I made a video about it ~ find it here: www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

A little ode to last month! I associate October with many round things: pumpkins, acorns, apples, but also my cats, who become extremely round and fluffy as their fur thickens. Here’s my little ode to the roundest month of the year 🟠

Hot take: Pigeons are majestic. Who agrees with me??

The latest addition to my sketchbook! I draw like one page every few months, but eventually I will fill it 😤

I went to Iceland in August! I had to paint some of the beautiful things I saw. It was very weird, magical, and inspiring! I will definitely go back one day to see more of the island, but for now, I am revisiting it through my art 🖤

I don’t think confidence comes purely from having skills. I also think it has a lot to do with your mindset.

That's why I put together 5 exercises that will help you grow your artistic confidence! Watch it on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/tutori...

I love a soft, buttery rendering style. A gloopy, velvety, warm and glowy approach, if you will.

Sketchbooks should be a place where you can get messy.! That’s easier said than done, but I think sketching technique plays a huge role. That's why I made a tutorial about my process!

This one sparked some debate, so I wanted to ask: do you think she’s good or evil?

Muddy colors: the enemy of every painter. I get a lot of questions about how to keep colors vibrant, so it was time to make a tutorial video about it!

Studying iridescence on one of my favorite animals, the rock dove. Don’t ever speak poorly of the rock dove in my vicinity. I WILL fight you 😤

I’m lowkey obsessed with blurry, soft edges lately. The smudge tool has a chokehold on me.

I am on a lifelong quest to paint super round, chunky flowers that look like cabbages. This is the latest installation!

Gradients, smudge tool, blur - they’re all great tools, until your art turns into a blurry mess. A soft rendering style is not easy to pull off, which is why I made a video about it ~ this one comes with 3 smudge brushes that I made myself! ✨

Trying to capture tension in a pose! 💪 You know, the kind where you can see the muscles and tendons popping out. RAAHHH!! 😤

I don't know if I succeeded, but at least I tried 🥲

Who else has an intense obsession with watching their cats do... basically anything? 🙋‍♀️
