"Something magical happens when you draw from observation: you use a whole new part of your brain to see the world, a part that doesn't know the names of things and therefore can see them as they are, not how we expect them to be"

I wrote a long ass post about cartooning and character design, with tons and tons of scans from my sketchbook. You can read it for only a dollar at http://patreon.com/celineloup <3

In April I was extremely busy preparing for TCAF, namely putting together a cute little sketchzine with some recent erotic work. You can buy it here!

I wrote up a long post on our Toronto/NYC trip; you can read it here (mirror). I also uploaded a bunch of work from my sketchbook, including some Trixie Mattel drawings and a rare furry commission. 

After getting back from Toronto, I uploaded a timelapse of my marker process here (mirror) and invested in a Canvas Lamp to get better results recording myself drawing. Once I got it set up I was amazed at how easy it was to film myself working, and am making time to stream over at my picarto channel. Be sure to subscribe so you can be notified when I go live! I don’t have a schedule right now as things are still too chaotic, but I’m recording all my streams and will post them for patrons/gumroad subscribers. 

I’ve gotten back into my copic markers in a big way and am having a lot of fun doing master copies in my sketchbook; eventually I want to turn all this footage into a class---but not for a while, as this summer my main focus is to finally finish Hestia chapter 0, and if I can raise the funds, print it for SPX and MICE 2023!

In order to raise money for printing costs, I’ve started a catalog of originals. I’ll be adding more to it over the next few weeks; if a piece doesn’t sell after a week I’ll be listing it on ebay. I’m happy to take layaway, and if there’s anything you want that you don’t see feel free to shoot me an email at loup.celine@gmail.com.

Thank you so much for reading, and have a great rest of your day.

Celine

process and some thoughts on copic markers: https://patreon.com/posts/78430384?pr=true…

If I were to teach a class on using copic markers, what kinds of topics would you like me to cover?

I created a design challenge called #100tiles to brute force my way through my hesitation about learning pattern design. The ham was a sketch for a larger design; I've included a timelapse + layered psd file of it on my blog.
