happy almost christmas day 🎉🎊

ガンバレ、成歩堂くん！

sometimes i grant myself the (w)right (FUNNY PUNS PLEASE LAUGH) to draw something seriously but then I do it with a meme *puts on sunglasses and looks into the sun*  i’m gone

SHNIIIIIFF😭🤧💙💙💙💙

I'm finally satisfied with how illustration of Blind turned out. It only took me four attempts haha

Starter Call

name ur muse and who you want and I'll write a starter for us. these will range from 1 sentence to several paragraphs depending on my muse and how many braincells I have left over from work.

capping at 5 for now

stuck at work so posting another plotting call

like this post for me to hop into your IMs :)

Here's the finished drawing next to the sketch! (Also some more Rowan sketches. I have a few of those ahaha)

And some progress pictures!

King (ID in Alt)

I might maybe perhaps possibly still be slightly obsessed with the Wilds of Eldraine story. (And Rowan specifically. Support women's wrongs!)

I only have one in-progress picture unfortunately. I think it's funny that it looks like it's out of focus, but no, that's what the drawing actually looked like at that point!

Base colours, done with pastels only.

@AkuSaiMonth 2023 Prompt: Stars ID in alt. Bingo card under the cut! (1/5)

The birth of stars …

This is based on that one first anniversary James Webb picture and inspired by this artwork by @prinnay! And I just realized she also made an (absolutely amazing) drawing based on that same James Webb picture...! Check it out!

My bingo card for this year:

I have 4 out of 5 drawings planned out ... let's see how many i can get out in the two weeks left

Progress - How I got to this point:

Step 1 is a thumbnail. A really quick (30 seconds max) really small (3 x 5 cm; that’s actually too big for an actual thumbnail but pssssht) doodle of what the drawing might look like. I'll often do multiple of them per drawing, trying out different poses and angles.

Step 2 is an anatomical and perspective sketch. I took some reference photos of myself to test out poses. It lended up looking way too stiff (as my initial sketches often do, this is my least favourite step). Also, I decided I wanted Isa to look down.

Step 3 was new for me. I was stuck in a place with only post-its and a pen, so I redrew the picture from memory, focussing more on the flow, but with the anatomy and perspective cues I still had in mind from step 2. This worked SUPER well and I think this will be my new MO from now on. So I guess that makes Step 2 a study actually? Wow, using studies in my art, that sounds so professional.

Step 4 is a big step. I took a photo of step 3 and then worked over it digitally. I worked out the final pose I wanted (mix between step 2 and 3), took some new reference photos, played around with the pattern in the background and the flow. Then I printed it (in twice the size I usually work with) and finally …

Step 5 I traced the printed sketch on the paper I want to use for the colours. This step alone took over TWO HOURS and I fixed some details (like correcting tangents) while working on it. Usually I trace only very lightly, often in a pencil that will smudge into the colours. I don't like working with actual lines, I only add them at the very end of a drawing. But this was when I realized I will have to post the WIP and in order for you to see anything at all I jumped over my shadow and drew over the lines again with different pencils (ranging from scale B to 3H). Which took another 1 1/2 hours. Oof.

And that’s where we are now! <3 Next up is colour, but I won’t get to that anytime soon unfortunately :(

@soulcomposer

Thanks!! Honestly, it still feels like a fever dream. I clearly remember every step involved in creating this drawing, but it feels more like I watched someone else do it?

Sometimes I look at the original and think in wonder: "Huh, I actually made this."

Sparks just like Hibana

[ID: Traditional waist-up drawing of Shionne and Alphen from Tales of Arise.Their eyes are obscured, faces very close together. Their fingers are touching ever so slightly and a coil of Shionne’s Thorns wraps around their forearms, lighting up their hands and faces. Sparks of white and orange like fire are rising from their forms. The second picture is a close-ups of their hands.]
