Stede in contemplation

Why is digital so hard, why do I like pencil better. But digital is the only way I can practice colour so it's such a painstaking process. Drawing hair is too much fun though. Painful fun.

And yeah, I totally fudged the shirt cause who cares about shirts! Flowery pink robe is where it's at, if only I could draw it XD

At some point in a man's life he has to face the music

Stede is hard to draw! I tried my best and went too heavy on the shadows relative to the rest of him. I'm loving all this practice!

You make Stede happy

I'm not as happy with this one as the Ed side, capturing Rhys' likeness is much more difficult for me, but I did really want to draw both sides. I kind of rushed Ed's hair too! There is such thing as hair fatigue XD

I reckon what makes Ed happy is... you.

This was such an enjoyable picture to draw. Plus, I feel I finally got the likeness of Taika in this one; it's my best representation of likeness yet! Plus hair is so therapeutic to draw, like a soothing death kind of feeling. Also omg his hand. I loved drawing his hand. I can't imagine hands when I draw without reference so I'm so happy at how that turned out too!

I was super apprehensive about drawing this because my idol once complained about drawing kissing to be the biggest, messiest challenge ever, and I was so worried it would turn out like how she described it:

But, luckily, it turned out really well!

Hooray for believing in myself!
