#glimpse of the messes i make on digital art canvases

[blurbry]

Messy W.I.P Sketch of a Gift for @ask-starryblue The Actual Lineart Changed alot already but i figured id show off the original sketch before i posted the real thing.

[chickenscript]

if ur takin prompts, what do u think it would be like for mikey to befriend a human that's also an artist like him? (U dont have to write a whole fic or anything if u just wanna do headcanons that's fine!! love ur work too btw!!!)

- you guys are like honey and sugar.

- you share the whole i just have to get this down on paper feeling that comes around way too much. (your minds are both a catastrophe of ideas that want out)

- you spitball ideas and ask advice about how you should go about an art piece. ("How does this palette look?" "Should I go bigger?" "Should I expand on this idea I had the other day?" "How're the proportions on this?")

- you really like each other's style, and as such, tend to pick out little things you like the most to influence your own. but, you still draw pretty differently from one another, so when you collab on a project, it really shows.

- the pieces you make together are brilliant and stunning, even more when you use the city as your canvas. there are a ton of unused billboards and high up building faces that no one else dares to get to that you both have left your mark on.

- there's a combined tag you and mikey made that interlocks your nicknames in orange and what ever color you decide on that day. (you two have gotten a ton of followers that seek out each new piece and take snapshots of your work to post on social media. trying piece together who you are and it's made you guys new internet art sensations)

- you mostly run around to graffiti under the cover of night. (you have plenty of dark hued clothes to wear whenever you go on a witching hour adventure with any or all of the bros)

- you've gathered an army of art untensils, and between the two of you, you have every shade in the rainbow. mikey doesn't occasionally mention - very excitedly - a shade he doesn't have and really wants in any one of part of art media.

- you bet your ass you buy it for him that same week if you can.

- you also got him a mask to wear while your spray painting - the fumes are shit for your respitory. like yours, that has a lung dragon maw design you painted onto it, his has a smiley face sharpied on for character.

- the rucksack you and mikey use to carry the spray paint cans is covered in heaps of patches and buttons. a new one gets added every week or sooner when you find a new witty one that just has to be put on. (you've personally put a couple on leo's fanny pack and one of donnie's shells after he let you)

- your stock of utensils at the lair is in a wall cubby in mikey's room, and there's also plenty of those packaging stickers from post offices that you doodle on and slap everywhere and anywhere.

- you like being on transit and seeing the artwork you made together in glimpses while you're looking out a window on the train or bus.

- out of everything, you and mikey don't have body paint, but that doesn't stop you from drawing on each other.

- mikey also has a collection of glitter and gel pens - microns too, but he prefers blunt sharpies so he let's you have any microns he finds - he uses to draw on people, and you always end up going home with something vibrant scrawled on your arm or any other exposed skin mikey can get to.

- you've thought about commissioning mikey for a future tattoo before, but you think you'll just choose one of your favorite pieces from him and get it done as a surprise after your eighteenth birthday.

- you guys sketch when the whim comes, no matter what you're doing. so you either have a small sketchbook or flippad on your person. leo actually carries some of mikey's art supplies in his fanny pack upon a long ongoing request and it's part of routine when mikey asks for them and leo promptly digs them out.

- you and mikey see the world in a very colorful way, and you just have to mark it up as much as you can. including, half the time, mike's brothers.

- they're cool with it since mikey's been doing it for years now, and it makes you feel closer to them whenever you do it too.

- leo helps you two find city canvases since he tend to do a lot of exploratory travel around the city on his own - or with you, and you're always excited when you find a perfect spot for you and mikey's next project.

- you've gotten used to drawing with mikey, so it feels weird to do it without him.

- you showed him how to digital art, but he still prefers traditional.

- there have been a few mishaps before that involved breaking pens or spray cans, and well, no real artist can ever get art done without making a mess, right?
