🕑 Added 2025-09-03 15:14:34 +0000 UTCHellooo everyone and welcome to a new month! ๐
I just shared a new tutorial about male anatomy, and here is the result from the video! โบ๏ธ I cover the various muscle groups in the torso and arms, how to draw hips on a male figure (because honestly I was so confused about male hips for the longest time LOL) and there is both sketching and rendering process for you to watch! ๐ค
I hope the video is helpful for you guys!! ๐ซถ๐ป
In other news, in case you didnโt see the announcement on Instagram โ I will be flying out to San Diego to attend the Holly Masquerade Ball to celebrate the release of Holly, the novella that I illustrated! ๐


Illustrating this book was a dream project and now I canโt believe Iโm going to be a guest alongside some of my favorite writers ever ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Plus the event is literally a fantasy ball that will be filled with book lovers, I think I will die from happiness ๐ฉ
Iโll be pre-signing copies with Adalyn and every attendee at the ball will get a book! Tickets for the event can be purchased here ๐ฅฐ If any of you are in the area, it would be so fun to meet you guys!!! ๐
Plans for this week:

Back to work on my Flynn Rider character sheet! I set him aside while working on our tutorial, but now itโs time to finish him ๐ซก Iโll be recording the rest of the process for a new real-time video for you guys ๐ฅฐ
You can also watch how I sketched each pose and rendered the bottom right expression in this video:

I canโt wait to dive into a new month with you guys! ๐ September is my favorite because fall is approaching and I always feel more inspired to create during this season ๐ฅฐ Letโs have a fun month together! ๐
Love,
Lydia โ๏ธ
