Im a firm believer in the t4t4t4t dynamic the main 4 have but i was just so compelled by this reference specifically after my recent rewatch . i also skipped out on artfight this year to draw this
kind of a companion piece to my 2022 ptutu drawing | it's on inprnt
this print was at anime north; next con is otakuthon!
oops so my hand slipped and i made another princess tutu drawing. i admittedly don't watch that much anime so my catalogue of work is gonna be the same 5 animes LMAO. what can i say, i love "dark" fairy tales, and i've been really enjoying the more fine art approach to a lot of my drawings as of late (and the watercolour brush i've been using has been so perfect for that...!) as my first princess tutu drawing is now 2 years old, there are some areas i've grown to have ... qualms with, particularly the anatomy and the faces... although both drawings as a whole are pretty much exactly what i envisioned, and that's always satisfying!
both of these were drawn in roughly a week's time (yes really...) for con crunch period (and i went back to this drawing after the con to touch up some areas that were a bit rough!). i wanted a different approach to this new pt drawing, with the focus on the line work, rather than on colours and lighting in the 2022 drawing.
this was both to continue the style i adopted in my witch hat atelier "lantern bearers" drawing (which i promise i'll post in full soon as soon as all of the zine artists get their go-ahead to post their pieces!), and to emulate the art nouveau movement's heavy emphasis on line work, albeit not a 1:1 style replication of course.
the seasons also aren't a 1:1 representation, as i didn't necessarily pick flowers or colours that are most strongly associated with the season (e.g. summer being a dark tone is a bold choice?). but it's kinda whatever, as i said before i drew this in a week, there may be more appropriate flowers with better meanings.
Quick thing because I came back home yesterday and there's still constant power shut downs happening TT I love you N
(THIS BIRTHDATE IS A FANON ONE AGREED UPON YEARS AGO BEFORE I EVEN GOT INTO BW, REASONING BEHIND IT MIGHT BE BECAUSE IT IS ALSO EINSTEIN'S BIRTHDAY OR TO MATCH PI DAY (ALTHOUGHT THAT'S NOT A NATURAL NUMBER LOL).
