tfw he's right but does he have to look like this when he's explaining it?

thanks to @renmackree for helping me decide on who to draw on the right even though i changed it last-minute from a besotted derek and the caption 'tfw ur boyfriend is being insufferable and you just love him so much' - i just thought this canon-compliant version was good too! besotted version under the cut :)

thought the juxtaposition of stiles' silly face and derek's besotted one was funny (and the pose with the hands in their lap from the original photo was too good to pass on) (':

#teen wolf #stiles stilinski #derek hale #sterek #sterek fanart #so you know how when a character does a thing it's fun and quirky but in real life it would probably be insufferable?#this was drawn directly over a picture someone took of me at a recent gathering talking to my friend #i do not recall what i was talking about #more importantly i was not aware that i ACT LIKE THIS WHEN I TALK #i am crushing my embarrassment and worry about being annoying by making joke content with it instead 🫡#my friend to the right's original expression is a neutral listening face that she herself described as “saying both 'bro 🥺' and 'bro 🙃'”#make of that what you will #'talking with their hands' but why am i talking with my whOLE BODY #anyway #my favorite stiles expressions to draw are the dumb ones #and favorite derek is the besotted look hehe #one of the refs for stiles was from the 'you two make a good pair' scene so i just went with those clothes #my art

Oh, to be crushed underneath your werewolf boyfriend 💭

#teen wolf #stiles stilinski #derek hale #(finally i can tag my boy!!!!!)#sterek #My Name is Derek Hale #raphael mccall #Kincaid #Hayden Romero #*wipes forehead* ok finally done introducing new characters #hopefully everyone'll be a little easier to draw from here on out #i rely on memories of scenes in the series a lot to draw stiles and derek #so having never made it to the part where rafe kincaid and hayden are introduced is making it a lil difficult #but we're doing all right i think!#also focus is purposefully off of derek bc stiles still hasn't really noticed him at this point #but the amount of restraint i had to show to only have him in that group shot LOL #and sorry abt the amount of text in rafe's dialogue bubbles #but i wanted to help show how annoyed stiles is with him by having his dialogue bubbles be a bit tedious to read #my art

the way that when a fic describes a character dragging their nose across someone else's skin has me by a chokehold (also the vulnerability of baring your throat *bites fist*)

crops of the parts that (as always) ended up being my favorite: ✨the hands✨

i keep spotting things i want to completely redo so it's time to let go before i scrap it completely ✌️

#teen wolf #derek hale #stiles stilinski #sterek #sterek fanart #nsfw #(to be safe - was originally gonna crop this tighter but i liked the balance of this version)#also don't come @ me about stiles' elbow and shoulder looking off i reworked that SO MANY TIMES #with references - it's just one of those angles that looks goofy and i didn't realize until i would've had to redo the whole pose #bc moving the elbow would put his shoulder higher and moving everything around #and i like the fool that i am started shading the skin before i was completely finished with the sketch ((((':#am i overdoing it on the bodyhair? maaaaaaybeee #it's just so fun to draw #anyway i discovered that a matte-black plastic skull replica i have is actually lifesized #so i have the most UNHINGED references of myself for this drawing #shirtless and holding a fucking black skull in front of me LOL #those privacy curtains are really coming in clutch lately #alright it's almost 10pm and it's my best friends' bachelorette party tmrw so i gotta go to bed #just had to psych myself up to posting this bc i already chickened out and redid shit like... 3 times today #alright time to go kisses you all on the cheek u be good now byeeee #my art

WIP wednesday!

Tagged by the lovely @seaweed-water - it's still wednesday somewhere in the world, right?

rough sketch / thumbnail for the first couple panels of page 13 of My Name is Derek Hale (page 12 is finished and scheduled for this saturday!)

an old (as balls) sketch I got stuck on that I'm finally ready to go back and redo bc I need more fluffy-haired Scott in my life

another crop of the WIP from last week that's almost finished - couldn't help myself and added freckles for derek [: (and a foreshortened elbow that I'm now realizing needs a bit of additional help to not just look like it's too short gdi O:< )

#WIP wednesday #wip #my art #been focusing on the comic this past week but i've just finished the next page so back to the other pieces I've been working on!

The piece of art I did referenced in this post! A scene from my upcoming multi-chapter fic, which I'll be sharing more about soon!

Not gonna lie--I'm super nervous. This is the first time I've finished a drawing in so long, and I'm trying to be okay with everything about it that isn't perfect.

But I love these boys, so here we are!

If you feel so inclined--please reblog, don't repost. If you share to other sites, please link to me. :)

Also, make sure you watch this awesome video that @quackquackcey made as well!

#OOOOOOOO:#this looks so COOL wtffff #the color combo is incredible!!!! all my love and affection for artists who can do limited color palettes like this omg #also uhm hello @ derek's broad chest #and always weak for body hair #but what else is new #the poses work really well - the slight lean back of derek is especially nice!#and stiles' hands mmmmmmmm #been meaning to read this fic for days but i keep getting caught up in drawing every evening kjdhfgkjdf #always excited to read something from ren!!#love the flow of tattoos on derek - kinda looks like it follows the cephalic and basilic veins o:#v interested to find out the story behind both of their tattoos 👀

as @mychemicalchiroptera very astutely pointed out, i forgot his tattoo! (i knew his back looked a little too nude lol) so here's a corrected version (':

> sees @myrrhhymns' 'bunny teeth' tag for derek/hoechlin >> haha bunny derek >> hold on... bunny suit derek... >> with great power comes great responsibility.png AKA if i can imagine it i can draw it and so i have to draw it you know?

also holy stylistic pivot batman - tried out a lot of new things here hehe

#me: laments the lack of fun tattoos/scars/birthmarks of the teen wolf characters #also me: forgets one of the ONLY ONES kjfhgkjfg #serves me right i guess

Had to draw a lil Stiles to keep Derek company

#BUZZCUT SUPREMACYYYYY #AAAA #im sorry the demons overtook me #i am feral for the way you render skin #you convey changes in planes so well #the flat plane of the back of the neck before it curves with the scm muscle - incredible #and the LITTLE SMIRK?? dead #perished #the heavy shadow in the eyelid fold works so well O:#stares at this and the derek one for an hour #teen wolf #stiles stilinski #not my art

Can I offer you some Derek Hale in this trying time?

#oh LORD but the trying times are worth it if we get art as beautiful as this #love love love the combo of the lines and soft shading!#and the way you rendered his beard here is BEAUTIFUL i am taking notes #argh the red edge of the shadows #the little highlights on the ear #the way the shadow faces from the ridge of the nose to the cheekbones is!! incredible #and the way you shade lips is PHENOMENAL #eats this art and the accompanying stiles for dessert #teen wolf #derek hale #not my art
