Im in love with your art omg. Your drawing is so perfect!!! Im waiting for more from shadowhunters chronicles because its my fav books ever. Maybe we'll see jace, tessa, will and jem sometime? Haha.

Thank you, darling! And definitely! I'm currently drawing Jace and his drawing will be up either later today or tomorrow. I'm planning on doing Jem next and then Simon. The others will all be done at some point as well. 😊

Hey! I love your shadowhunters' portraits! Have you planned on doing Jem? ☺️ Actually, i would love to see all the characters, from TID, TLH, TMI and TDA 😂 Have a nice day! 😘

It is my intention to eventually do all the characters in TSC (at least the main ones). So, far I've mostly been focusing on TDA due to Lord of Shadows having been the most recently released book, but I have no particular order in which I'm going to do the next characters. Mostly I'll just do whoever I feel like doing next or if I get requests for one I make them a higher priority.. You might see Jem very soon. ;)

This is a list of the characters I've done so far: Cristina, Julian, Emma, Diana, Kieran, Ragnor Fell and Catarina Loss, Mark, Tiberius, and Anna Lightwood.

*Bonus Art: Kit and Ty, Heronchild, a photo of Jules and Livvy, and Will in a wedding dress

Hello! Okay, you and every other artist alike infuriate me with your skill. It's just so good, it taunts me. I've asked people before, and I'm still asking, would someone show me and people like me some mercy and throw out some tips? I mean, come on! Do you want me to say please? Lol, please?

Lol. I will have mercy on you and offer any tips I can think of. Since I'm not entirely sure what it is you have difficulty with I’ll just mention some of the basics. However, if you have any specific questions about shading, color, etc, I wouldn't mind answering them. And if there is some specific area you want some tips on drawing (like the proportions of the face, hair, clothes, or how to draw hands), I could potentially do a turtorial of sorts that addresses it. 

 -In my experience, references or real life examples are key. It's difficult to fully imagine something in your head (however, as you practice more you will be able to draw without references more successfully, but they are always useful to have no matter what). If you’re trying to draw a person, but can't find a proper reference for their posture online, then you can always have a friend pose for you and take a picture to use for later. I've done this countless times to the point that my friends no longer want to be “my doll”. If you have difficulty with hairstyles, salon magazines are full of them and fashion magazines are great inspiration for clothing.

-When it comes to drawing people, it can be useful to do a skeletal and muscle study to fully understand how the body is connected and how the joints move

-Always remember that the closer the object is, the larger it will appear. If a person is standing at an angle then you can guarantee that the foot and shoulder closer to the viewer will be slightly larger than the one in the back.

-Always plan out your drawing ahead of time. Don't go into it blind. Figure out what you want to happen and the feeling you want it to inspire in order to pick out proper colors and lighting (warm colors for happier emotions, cool colors for sadness, etc)

- Unless an object is black, do NOT use black to create shadows. It creates a flatter effect. You can use blues and violets instead.

- And the most hated tip of all: practice, practice, practice. It's taken me years to develope the skill I’m at now. Patience is a virtue when it comes to art.

* If I think of any more tips, I'll let you know. 😉

First off, your account is super cool! I'm just wondering though, ever considered posting a handmade painting? I mean you do post handmade stuff but you know, handmade. Do you understand what I'm saying, because, I mean, I'm confusing myself..

I get what you mean. As in traditional art, yes? I have posted a couple in the past, but not very many. My profile picture is an acrylic painting I did (it's currently hanging on my wall) and a few weeks ago I posted a painting of Gansey’s car from the Raven Cycle series. I used to mostly work in traditional art mediums from paints, to charcoal to pastels, etc, but found that digital art made it a bit easier to find time for it since I can just take my IPad with me and also work on it outside my home without having to worry about carrying a ton of brushes, canvas, paper, paints, etc. If seeing more of my traditional art would interest you just let me know and I can post some of it.

Hey, I looove your account, your drawings of all TSC characters are just amazing! In an earlier post, you said you started doing digital art? What is that, is there an app you use? (:

Thank you so much! I've been using the Adobe Sketch app on my IPad. It's free to download and really easy to use. :)
