Hi! I'm Ana. This is my art blog 🐸 Links to social media

Heyy...I love your Jurdan comics and every fanart you make... so I wanna know, how do you make them? I mean the software you use, is it free? and how do you make the layouts and the way you colour is so nice, how do you manage to do it? I also wanna make comics so I'm asking...hehe....Love your art btw...

Hi!! Thank you ❤️❤️ I use procreate on ipad! Its not free but its cheap, but in case you dont have an ipad, people usually recomend Clip studio paint (not free also ugh!). If you are looking for free options, I have tried Krita and I like it a lot :)) Both procreate and Krita are not exactly for comics but I manage haha I make the layouts by sketching the pages as thumbnails, like this!

It's ugly and loose but what is important is the design and rhythm! I sketch everything first just "vibing", usually just drawing basic rectangles with the scene and characters inside. Once the story and basic dialogues are settled, I grab a handful of graphic novels or mangas I have around to find inspiration and ideas if I want to change the panel composition.

I love color!! I always paint the first page almost completely before the others because it is going to be the reference for all the others and helps me to visualize the final result. I talked a bit about it in a previous ask, but maybe I can draw a little guide about it? because it is hard to explain just by writing...it can get confusing haha

Family line up ⚔️⚔️

Te descubrí el otro día por IG. Me flipa lo que haces. Me encanta el estilo tipo Alessandro Barbuci (fui súper fan de las W.I.T.C.H. en mi infancia). Pero tienes un toque especial.

Me encantaría ver algún día que ilustras los cómics de ACOTAR o de El Príncipe Cruel. Me los compraría todos sin dudarlo.

Un saludo!

Que mensaje tan bonito,muchas gracias! ♥️♥️yo igual,siempre fui super fan de las WITCH!! Tengo varios recopilatorios y los suelo consultar de referencia, justo con el comic de Acotar lo hice varias veces 😊

Making a difficult choice 👑

(I want to do a comic of this scene eventually)

Sketch from a while ago~

A little bit of a new thing: I liked this scene in A Court of Mist and Fury and it was so fun to try to portray Feyre's dark thoughts in opposition of a idilic spring garden...Hope you like! ❤️🌹

Heyyyyyy whats up?

So, as a "I'm still learning" artist, I wanted to ask is there something specific you do so that your colors match so well? Like something with the values or whatnot. I have the most difficult time matching my colors and finding my art peaceful because it always looks a mess.

Anyway, your art is very yummy and I love all of them 🤩🤩

Sending hugs

Hi!! thank you so much 😍I'm no expert, I look at a hundred references! Sometimes I dont get the lightning right even looking at them, and after I while I manage to understand what is going on in my drawing (usually the values are off). This is common in the case of drawing scenes, where I have to make the color of the surroundings,characters and objects look cohesive. But most of the problem comes with the values/lightning part.

Values/lightning: When I look at references look at where is the darkest point in the scene/character, and where is the brightest. If it is a background, I also look how the sky/background interacts with the different subjetcs in the scene. I basically try to understand how the scene is "organized" in terms of values. You have to organize the values (like a gradient, from darkest to brightest) in a scene/character. If the values are off, the scene reads weird.

Color harmony : To choose a color palette I try to keep in mind the color relativity thing! You know, if a scene is warm, the green tones are probably going to be yellow hues, and so on....in procreate/photoshop you can achieve this by adding some "random" local colors and then an layer effect on top with another color to make them look more harmonious. The 70-30-10 rule is also nice to know. you choose 3 main hues, so you'll have 70% of the main color, 30% of the secondary and then 10% for accent color. But keep in mind that this 3 hues also need to look harmonious with one another.😆 The color of the shadows/light and the color of the lineart also help with the color palette. -Shadows usually take the color of the general ambience. In a warm sunset scene, shadows turn a purple color: because it is the color of the sky, and also the opposite of the bright red/orange of the light of the sun. In a daylight scene, the shadows turn blue, because they reflect the blue sky color :) . This was studied by the impresionist painters, I love when a piece is inspired by their work! -As for the light colors, I usually apply them with a layer effect (add or screen) to make them pop up and add some soft gradients. -Subsurface scattering/reflected light also help (if you want to add even more stuff haha) I hope this is a bit helpful!? It is a bit hard to explain in theory and also english is not my first language haha Sending hugs!❤️

I bought the books TFoA about 3/4 years ago and every time I tried reading it I stopped because the beginning did not interest me. Now this year I started reading some fantasy/romance books and your art kept showing up on pintest all the time and you express the feelings and scenes so nicely that I decided to push past the begging and give it another chance. I am now obsessed with the books! Probably one of my favorite series, so thank you very much for making me interested in it with your art

Hey that's amazing 😍!! I reaaally liked the beginning of the books but I think some people find it slow? then everything speeds up, especially in the wicked king haha

Anyway thank you for you message ❤️

[anu-ca]

[anu-ca]

I drew a lot this past year and loved every bit of it!! Thank you so much for supporting my obsession 🤓

[anu-ca]

Wanted to spend the holidays drawing some Faerie forest 🍄 (turns out it was more of a long exercise on composition and values. also horses)

Hi I love your cruel prince art! Is there anywhere you have it all collected in order to read sort of "manga style"??

Hi!! I made this index site to gather all the chapters I made, I hope that it is more helpful for reading!

[anu-ca]

Hey! I love your art and I was wondering about how often do you post? I’m new so I want to keep in track with everything lol

Hi!! Thank you! Sometimes I'm a bit busy and I make my art in my free time so I really don't have a schedule haha

[anu-ca]

I love your art style! The details, the facial expressions, the surroundings!!!!

I love several artists who draw Jude and Cardan, but I adore how you draw them as actual 17 and 19 years old! They look young but have so much personality and density! <3 <3

You should be proud of your work!

Quick question, do you ever thought of drawing the other characters more?? Like Madoc and Oriana, or Dain?

Maybe drawing the dinner table where Jude asks permission to be a knight and Madoc says she’s not a killer. It would be so cool to see Jude staring him with inner rage and thinking ‘he has no idea of what I am’ with a blurry image in the comic of future-Jude with a bloody sword. Or maybe the moment Dain goes to offer her the job as a spy and she reflects ‘it’s one of those decisions which will change all of your other ones’ and the comic panel opens to all the domino effect that decision will bring to her.

Okay, I definitely spiraled a bit lol

Tell me what you think <3

Hey thank you so much for all your suggestions!🧡Yeah I did! I thought about some scenes like the one where Jude fights and poisons Madoc (first book I think? So badass) thank for your words ☺️
