I really love the selective coloring you did in Blue and Green. The color layering and values and clothing folds you got are really nice. And it works so well against the pencil in the rest of the drawing. Nem's portrait in Vanish is so well done too. I am quite impressed and I know you've been practicing drawing your characters. This turned out so good.

I appreciate the R on Sherbet Lemon because I too share your outrage. But the lemons are so nicely done too. And that eye in Legillimency! Well done and isn't it nice to look back and see how practice has paid off? Keep those sketchbooks! Really like the perspective you got in Goblin and you got really nice form with the shading in Protective. Big fan of the lettering in Gold and well, I'm just a big fan of yours in general. Just everything in here is so good.

plssss. thank you for all your kind words, and know i'm a big fan of yours too. I really wish I had kept more of my art and sketchbooks from the days of yore but past felix was an ungovernable menace. truly went all 1984 on my own self.

Also, I 100% knew that eye was Nem's. So that means you did it well and all that, because it's not just ANY OLD EYEBALL, but is Nem's... eyeball. Right.

Um... also those socks look super textured and fluffy and I just love that about colored pencils. I'm a fan for sure.

Your mimbly wimbly plant looks like butt cheeks and I AM HERE FOR IT. I love this little plant to distraction.

You are really pulling out all the stops, and I'm enjoying it Very Much (tm). <3<3

let's be honest, Milo would be just as likely to own a dancing cactus wearing a sombrero, so it all works out. also I'm a big fan of the same with coloured pencils but most of all it would be remiss of me not to have some level of concern over the butt cheeks plant comment.

THANK U GLUB.

ok bye. I thoroughly enjoyed

we love a good list in this house. THANK U. I'm glad u enjoyed, stay tuned (not in here but idk. somewhere) for more arts heavily inspired by Nemrod & co.

and yes. snakes fold very weird. it is most inconvenient.

and listen the more I think about how I textured the hoodie, other than a gazillion layers, the more I feel like it was purely accidental o no

That mimbulus mimbletonia is so cute and I really enjoy how sketchy this one feels.

SNAKES ARE HARD

But you did a really good job with yours and I will look at it nice and long and closely

That is an outstanding watering can

the spout (spout? That's what the bit where the water comes out is called...right? Like a little teapot?) is really eye catching. Your perspective here is really really nice.

I love me some ancient Greek references and this is so nice. I especially like the use of your color pencils with this one. The shading and metallic texture you achieved

Such great work, as always

can't wait to see the final goods!

I cannot complain about a good targaryen comparison so I'll take that. I was gonna say. it's gotta be the smirk huh. also cannot believe, but absolutely can believe, that u defied me re the snek.

THANK U for the words. here. i bring final goods.

thank you so much! so lovely as always

day twenty-six:
_____herbivicus
__________pomona sprout #30

SPOILER!!: day 26 - herbivicus

A6 paper, mechanical pencil (0.3), uni pin fine liners (0.3),
ohuhu markers

I have been ridiculously busy with assignment stuff this week but finally found
time to do my last prompts (and now to finish catching up in all the threads).
I had intended for this and the next two prompts to be like #29 and #30 but
time was yet again not on my side. so I decided to practice with my markers,
which clearly is necessary because the blending is either not great or not
noticeable. but it's fun so.

my pencil sketches were much better and I predictably regretted doing the line
work in ink immediately because that's where I always mess up. but I'm pretty
happy with this.

this is Lucky Fuller-Thompson, eldest son of Tobias Fuller-Thompson. to be
honest I mostly just wanted to draw him and found a prompt to fit him. the
one I chose is Herbivicus just because at the moment he's in that stage of his
adolescence where he's on the brink of adulthood and accepting what he needs
to do to grow and reach his full potential. iirc the hat seriously considered
Hufflepuff for him so it was nice to have a ~hufflepuff~-ish prompt for him.
