lots of tentative intimacy.. something something staying up as long as possible and talking about nothing and not letting each other out of their sight

(For the drawing suggestions.) One possible idea that comes to mind is Rapunzel, but it's based off of the concept art done for Tangled. It's basically her with the green dress and crossbow from when Glen Keane was still the director (hope this helps with the art block).

You 🫵 I like how you think

(Did I think of giving her a crossbow? Yes. Did I give up on it? Yes.)

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

the client:

So you're saying the whole project will run about $28k?

me: On second thought, just throw my body into the sea.

What program and brushpack do you generally use ? Especially for the blurry/paint effect that a lot of your illustrations have ? Love your art, especially your use of colors :) 💥

Hello! I mainly use Adobe Photoshop and Kyle T. Webster's brushes, they should come with Photoshop or you can find them here :) I do maybe 80% of all my illustrations with a modified version of his Gouache Blair brush. But for that blurry/painterly effect I think you can achieve that in any software with similar brushes to the following:

An all-purpose, slightly textured brush that has good opacity control so that you can both paint and sketch with it. This is my go-to for linework/hatching and layering colors

A textured bristly brush, less easy to mix colors with but quickly produces texture

A textured soft brush for both blending and airbrushing

A regular airbrush, for glows and gradients but also for if I want to paint something precise without any texture. I also use this to lay down initial colors quickly

For my recent illustrations I mainly used these! I believe #2 is Rough Round Bristle in the Kyle/default brushes and #3 miiight be one of the smudging brushes.

Here I used #1 for all the lines and rendering in her face and hair, including the small crosshatchy bits. You can see #2 in the background and some edges, #3 in the glowy effect on her hair, and I'd used the airbrush to lay down the first rough colors!
