art blog! @drawawyvern - Tumblr Blog

all done! remember when I never did backgrounds on anything, life was good, I finished things in a day or two....

anyway enjoyed this and love this scene to death so here are the highlights of it, imo.

#no one @me if the perspective is off #i did add in lines once i got to digital but i never established a vanishing point so that was all estimated based on my sketch #irakli's knee is visible..... the most i've ever drawn him lol #also ignore how shaky the linework on the first drawing vs this one is lol i had never used illustrator before then #now i know how to do this at least...#not a master but it's something!#drawawyvern #artists on tumblr #and then we danced #atwd #levan gelbakhiani

made this to accompany my last piece, aka part 2 of the honey scene.

#drawawyvern #artists on tumblr #and then we danced #levan gelbakhiani #the background alone too 1h but i don't even think it's important enough to warrant including in the image description :///////#i think it's better with the background just for one's understanding of what's going on in the picture the background is really just kind o #there

anyway here's a sketch of mariam I don't think I'll do anything with so might as well post it

#drawawyvern #and then we danced #Ana Javakishvili #atwd #i love her character so much like every equivalent character in a similar movie is just there for conflict or heteronormativity or whatever #she has a personality and stuff and is wonderful #the proportions are ever so slightly off but not enough that she's not recognizable #i could fix it in editing like i normally do but that takes about an hour and isn't really worth it when i'll just leave it here #hair isn't coloured in really because of my digital painting technique #but again not bothering with that #i'll do more atwd art just not this #not sure what yet! but i am free from my freelance work finally so i can actually do something :D

occurred to me I can just make fake posters for movies I like

#drawawyvern #artists on tumblr #movies #what if?#the f word #i know it's a nice guy movie it's not flawless but i adore it #you can't beat their banter #the screenshot is shit quality sorry about that #i had to make everything else shit to match #other than that i used the aesthetics already in the movie :)#matchy matchy

cinema was invented with this scene

#used illustrator! successfully! it was weirdly quick!#i traced my drawing not the photo #and then we danced #levan gelbakhiani #drawawyvern #artists on tumblr #i went with the brown for the background because it should have been the colour of the shadows on the face #but that just looked way too busy and confusing and not great #so i said this was quick but i just spent probably another hour after uploading this tweaking the colours lol

so many hours of work (god help me)....all done now though!

some frame highlights:

#and then we danced #mine #levan gelbakhiani

Everyone's getting excited about 1960s ineffable wives but what about 1860s instead

#this was a speedpaint except it took a while longer than those tend to #anyway i did trace the faces and arms/necks from references #so i can't take credit for those looking like that #just wanted to crank this out #symbollism/costume details to note: crowley's skirt details are devil tails #aziraphale has decorative angel wings on his bodice #and a tiara like a halo #colours are taken from their usual costumes #including aziraphale's plaid #which is not historically used as trim so that's not accurate to my knowledge but i wasn't going to draw that much plaid #and it's just an accessory on the og costume so a whole plaid dress felt wrong #crowley's fan is in the i love you position in that old timey secret fan code #it's idk 1866 or something here #crowley gets gloves because they feel appropriate to his casual sluttiness of attire #feels weird to handle books with gloves so az doesn't have any #anyway i love 1860s truly can't beat it for clothing #and idk why they're wearing evening gowns except i just prefer them to day gowns #maybe they're going to the ritz #good omens #ineffable husbands #ineffable wives #ineffible wives #ineffible husbands #aziracrow #anthony j crowley #david tennant #michael sheen #neil gaiman #terry pratchett #drawawyvern

2/3 of the way done! gonna add shading. it's taking foreeevvverrrrrrrrr.

edit: I finished the piece! I can't link it because then tumblr won't show this in the tags but if you look up "and then we danced" on my blog, it will show up :) (you're still totally allowed to enjoy this I just see people interacting with it and want to go THERE'S A BETTER ONE NOW)

#and then we danced #Levan Gelbakhiani #this is 36 frames why did i do this to myself #drawawyvern #artists on tumblr #animation

#drawawyvern #not fanart #not original art either #this was real quick i didn't erase anything #turned out well considering #the proportions aren't exactly correct from the ref but they're not too far off #and it's certainly not uncanny valley so that's a win

yet another drawing to unambiguously announce my sexuality

[I.D.: pencil sketch of a Greek-style statue of a curvy woman wearing a cloth draped like a dress around her, holding the end of the cloth above her head so it falls down beside her as well. The viewer looks up at the statue from below.]

edited to make this

[I.D. The same image as above, edited to be higher contrast black-and-white, with a newspaper small dotted print texture.]

#drawawyvern #i kind of want to make like tote bags or t-shirts with this i think that'd be so cool #i've no idea if that's possible though because it's not my photo that i used for a ref and idk if it's free to use

#Undine Rising from the Fountain #mine #this took way longer than your average pencil drawing does for me #i blame the folds #anyway i only used the eraser to get rid of smudge marks from my hand rubbing accidentally #and to fix the chin shadow #but that was such a win #i had NO idea if i'd be able to do this much less well since it is as such a weird angle and so the shapes i needed to draw are not ones i'm #used to #but it kind of just worked #someone probably reblogged my ref for this months ago thanks for that #i also broke out a second pencil because this required more shading than usual so i needed darker tones #actually just noticed but her armpit's shaved and this is a 1880s statue so why??? weird.

(here’s another example of stuff I’ve made using this method, adding in a bit more extensive vertical erasure than I show below.)

#drawawyvern #tutorials #drawing tutorial #painting tutorial #i did this for a book cover and just came up with the method on the spot and it worked out shockingly well #sorry if you need to zoom in on these images #i'd recommend when doing this to also erase bits with a soft brush and duplicate the layer a few times in order to make extra saturated bits #and more faded bits #if you look at the photos this seems to happen a lot of the time

[I.D.: Our Flag Means Death Stede Bonnet stands on a rocky beach with a small rowboat in front of a sea and cloudy sunset. Stede is facing the sea and everything is shades of brown, orange, and yellow.]

#mine #Our Flag Means Death #ofmd #this didn't take too long in terms of hours but wow i spent so long on it #stede bonnet #rhys darby #my reference was that one promo photo #not gonna link it because tumblr :/#anyway i am happy with this :)#also shoutout to myself for posting on this blog!

My favourites of the emojis I made for our OFMD server

#these are all traced i will not claim to have drawn them entirely from scratch #they're just emojis i don't care enough to try that hard #personally i am gender stede because stede is very gender. like so so much.#but i understand most people find ed more gender so there are two and i liked them both #there are other emojis they just don't look as nice giant #our flag means death #ofmd #please do not use these without permisson #drawawyvern

Based on a photo by Bruce Zinger of an Opera Atelier production of Le Mariage de Figaro.

[I.D.: In shades of pink and orange, two women dressed in 1700s-inspired stays lean in to kiss each other. They are both Caucasian and wear modern stage makeup. One woman is blonde, 40, and dressed in pink, tilting the other woman’s chin up with her fingertips, and this woman is red-headed, mid-twenties, with purple stays and puffy floral-embroidered white gauze sleeves. The drawing has a photographic and sketched quality.]

#Opera Atelier #Wallis Giunta #Peggy Kriha Dye #le mariage de figaro #listen we do not talk about how long this took #(so so long)#(it was worth it)#contesse #cherubino #for those unaware of this opera (me) apparently the red-haired lady is usually a trousers role #and they went this route instead and i LOVE IT #wlw #sapphic #lesbian #bisexual #apparently the countess (blonde) lady seduces the other one because i guess boredom with life or whatever #pierre-augustin caron de beaumarchais #drawawyvern

we haven’t done anything wrong

[I.D.: Two boys sit together, one (Simon) in profile, the other (Wilhelm) resting his head on Simon’s shoulder. Simon is expressionless and wears an orange T-shirt with a yellow button-up. Wilhelm’s expression isn’t visible as his hair falls over his eyes but his mouth is pursed. He wears a navy shirt under a dark teal sweater. The background is also teal.]

#loook at me actually posting art! it’s been forever!#young royals #simon eriksson #wilhelm young royals #wilhelm yr #wilmon #drawawyvern #dear god this angle on wilhelm was difficult #i just want to only ever draw people in profile 🤷

1860s dress based on the Willow Hairstreak butterfly

[I.D.: a mid-tone grey dress with a wide rounded bertha and large bell-shaped skirt. The bertha is edged with orange-red scallops, and has large black dots along the top. Small puffed sleeves are edged in white. A striped black-and-white sash wraps around the waist, and falls down the skirt where it is black with a white stripe down the center, tipped in white at the bottom. The skirt is bordered with stripes at the bottom in white, black, and a neutral blue, then a pattern of orange-red triangles, with the two under the sash a brighter blue. The triangles are outlined at the top in black and blue. Above them are large black dots, then some blue-black-red-orange jelly-bean-shaped shapes. The background is a bright blue-green.]
