'Something... More Private'
Hansry Week 2025
Day 1 - Touches, Looks
I've never done a full, Classical figure portrait before (or participated in a 'Fandom Week' or even just painted a Hansry piece) so thought I'd really put my new MaxPacks Oils brushes to use in Procreate (they are SO GOOD - thank you for the brushes rec and the general art inspo, @thistlearts ) and ended up with this, in which Hans and Henry have finally sought out Hans' desired "something more private". I've really tried to make it look a bit Romantic/a bit Classical/all longing looks and tender touches. I really enjoyed painting it and feel like I've learned a lot in recent months; both from actively working on this, and also learning from the swathes of AMAZING, INSPIRATIONAL, PROFESSIONAL GRADE MASTER ARTISTS across the fandom. Like, it is all so impressive. <3
Full disclosure, I'd originally started this in very early June (incredibly optimistically, given my track record) to finish and post within Pride Month and well, life and work got in the way and it just so happened that the piece fit in QUITE nicely with Day 1 of Hansry Week '25, so here it is!
