Havin' a ball at the ball

"How am I supposed to dip you? You're a head taller than me even without the heels!" "I can dip you." "But I've never been dipped before!"

we dont have to talk about how long this took. ive long since lost the reference photo i used for the pose.

bts and transparent version under cut.

first off; originally they were gonna be in a bar. but. as you can see that did not happen. the bar would have been easier overall but i didnt wanna draw bottles :/

secondly; hes supposed to be wearing peridot. because thats an august birthstone that is green and therefore matches his eyes. and the flower is supposed to be a peony. the state flower of indiana. obviously al gave it to him. al would be wearing a matching one on his suit pocket if i had been bothered to draw a suit pocket but his collar gave me enough trouble

anyway heres my various 'tester' things that i used to see what i changed from version to version

just lines;

adding colour [and changed some line stuff, cause im a liar. such as making his arm smaller/fixing anatomy. and a corsage. for fun]

me after staring to shade stuff last night

heres a hastily made transparent version

then we have:

the earlier version where i didnt have the lace thing yet, had not drawn al's face, and sam's nose was ever so slightly smaller. i think. i distinctly remember making it bigger

and then normal bts from me

during gathering reference photos from my gallery;

if tumblr lets you see that kind of thing, you'll notice the file name is 'stop touching it stop touching it' because ive been fucking w/ it for like 3 hours

theres all the file names so u can see it anyway

i dont remember how this idea got started. truly. its been several days so i dont remember. i just wanted to draw sam pretty and knew i could draw a big chunky suit.
