Hey guys!
Here’s a part 2 of the Step by step hair tutorial 🦎
At first I wanted to sketch only the hairstyle but of course it looked weird without a face 😂 I hope you’ll find it helpful.
Have fun ðŸ€

I hope you’re having a great week 🌸 I’m a bit nervous because of the business trip to Spain. I’m going on Sunday and there’s still so much to do! 🤯

I wanted to give you a heads up about a small change to required tax on pledges. Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patrons in most US states and several other countries — anywhere that’s required by law. They’re now required to start adding tax in a few new places: Canada (other than Quebec where Patreon already charges QST), Tha...

We still have two topics from June (because I made much longer, pdf guide on 100 Heads Challenge). I'll put them to this poll so you can pick if you still want these or something new 🌱
They were:

Hi guys!
I made it finally! It is a real-time video process with two pencil portraits + Q&A 🥰
I explain a bit more of my process, talk about my ways of seeing references, my artistic journey, some of my favorite artists, quick sketching, perfectionism and motivation. My talking ends after about 45 minutes so it's your choice - you can either speed it up to the end or watch the full, real time process 🥰ðŸ¿...

Hi guys!
Here are two portrait sketches I recorded for this month’s video. The profile portrait that looks like growing out of the frontal face is the warm up sketch 🌱😅 I often start warming up with profiles because I find them much easier to draw. I thought it could be a good occasion to record both drawings. So you’ll have two different angles instead of one portrait 🙃
Recording was crazy because (as always...

Hi lovely Patrons!
I have prepared for you a presentation summarizing the 100 heads challenge I did in 2019. I am planning to repeat it, so the conclusions will also be useful for me. This is not exactly what I planned (drawing different beauty types) but I hope that the tips I have provided will be valuable to you. And for those who don't have time to read, they can see my sketches in their full glory 😅

I love drawing on Monday Mornings! I feel so fresh and full of energy 🤩
I started to practice quick digital portraits because I wanna improve my skills and technique. They are all a bit different because I’m still searching for my style. (If I’m even able to have one 😅). I’ll try to do a series of these studies. We’ll see!
Here’s Number One. (Aurora made me love blond eyebrows now ðŸ˜ðŸ§¡)

Hello my lovely Potato Angels 🧡
I hope you’re having an awesome weekend â˜€ï¸ It’s very sunny in my city (over 30 degrees/ 90F)! It’s finally a summer after a cold spring ðŸ€
Here’s a new Art Guide for you - it’s about contour lines. As I always say - I don’t like drawing closed outlines that look like from a coloring book. Here are some of my ways to avoid this effect 😉

Hi everyone! 🙌
Here’s a quick but useful ART TIP on drawing light in the eyes in a realistic way. Please remember that it’s not an anatomical drawing. It’s a very simplified geometry that shows how the light spreads in the eyes ✨
My Concept Art Teacher mentioned it recently and I realized I was using this rule for a while but completely unconsciously. Thanks to him, I can explain it now 😄
Of course oft...

I have mixed feelings about these studies:
1. They seem a bit childish to me. Like something that Baby Gabs would like to draw 😅
2. I had big troubles with drawing various textures: fur and scales ðŸŸ
3. I’m not experienced in drawing animals in color. Not to mention in digital! 🎨
At the same time:

Hi everyone!
Here are the Secret Sketches for June. This time I had a great desire to draw animals you suggested (a red panda, snake, different types of fish, two cats sleeping together and a foxterrier). I made them as digital studies ðŸ. (I will add a time lapse if you want 😉)
I also loved the other propositions - for example Ghibli characters and Emma Stone as Cruella, but I will keep them for la...

Hello my dear Potato Angels 🧡
Here’s a Step by step process of my yesterday’s study! 🥠It’s a little bit different approach for me - usually I painted with many more layers and it often took many hours. I’d love to explore and practice this way because I’d be able to paint more often 🤩
Documenting step by steps is good for me either because even if I’m not gonna have time for these studies soon, I wi...

I have a lot of assignments for my Concept Art class but I wanted to start a day with a warm up study. I just made this one and now I’m really gonna have to do my homework 😅 But at least I’m warmed up and happy because usually this type of studies took me much more time! (This one took no more than 2h). I can still see mistakes but studies donâ€...

I present to you a short guide about facial muscles. I love that I can learn such things with you! Drawing facial muscles on my line art portrait was extremely interesting. (Of course, I didn't study medicine, so I used many photos from the Internet).
I recommend drawing muscles on one of your portraits - it can be on t...
I’m kinda lost because I realized "I have" so many styles and I don’t even know what direction I would like to go. It makes a little bit anxious.
I want to find my own aesthetic so I will just keep on testing what I like and then mix it into something mine. I won’t share everything on Instagram because I don’t want to have a confusing mess on my feed 😅 I’ll be happy to do it here if you don’t mind 🤓 Thank you ...
