Six sketch sunday

Thanks so much for tagging me @thewholelemon

I actually have something pretty exciting to share if i do say so myself!

In november 2022 i did a master study of romeo and juliet by frank bernard dicksee. I was very happy with it. But over time I’ve become less and less happy with it, specifically how baz looks :((

This is due to the fact that i traced A LOT in late 2022 (I was 15 ok, I’m sure we’ve all had one of those phases😭) I traced the whole painting, but baz was hard bc the original painting featured a woman, and her whole figure was covered by a white loose dress. 2022 me did their best interpreting the shapes and forming a new body for baz, but honestly they didn’t do it very well. Ive hated Baz’s face and body for a while now, but still loved simon and the painting in general. Which is why I came to the conclusion that for me to be at peace and happy with it again, I have to remaster it!

And again I’ve had this on my mind for a while now, mulling it over, because it’s quite a big project. But 7 days ago i finalized my decision and started looking at references and whatnot. It took me so long to find references bc I was confused of the angle of Juliet’s head in the original painting (so I’ve changed the angle whoops) and i needed to make sense of it all. Before i knew it i had spent 5 hours (according to procreates tracker) drawing, and literally nothing had changed.. but then i spent like 2 hours more and THAT did it. It was like digging a whole in the ground searching for water. You dig a little and nothing happens, and when you finally dig deep enough the water reveals itself like a goldmine.

Anyways, i haven’t gotten around to do any recoloring yet, so ill show you the sketch (ahem, traced) of my 2022 version versus what I have now

The one on the left is the 2022 version. The one on the right is the current sketch.

I’m trying to incorporate a lot more body language from baz this time around. I think the old sketch of baz was very rigid. His torso is very short 💀 my biggest issue was his face though. It was far too feminine. The bone structure wasn’t exactly giving baz, in fact the whole face didn’t look like baz to me. The expression also bothered me, it was too superficial. Like it’s exactly the predictable expression you expect him to have. I tried to spice it up in the new version by making him appear a bit more anguished. It’s romeo and juliet after all.

Im currently looking at references to what clothes he should be wearing (don’t worry, i wont cover up his sleeves. Even if it’s more time period accurate) so if y’all have any inspo or suggestions, feel free to share them with me!

While baz is the inly thing getting completely redone, I’m also touching up some other thins. Just giving it a more refined, finished look overall. The plants in the original were really messily done, so i’m gonna work a lot on those. 2022 me also slacked on the curtains, so I’m repainting those to match the original frank bernard painting.

Once I’m done with it all i think i might sell some prints. Ive gotten requests to sell prints of this one before, but never really got around to do more than research. If i do make prints, I’m a bit worried they’ll all go to waste bc they’ll have to be shipped from denmark, and shipping in expensive :(( (I’ve tried to set up middlemen and it didn’t work for me. Red bubble wont even allow me to add a credit card😬) but if y’all are still interested in prints, do let me know! Ill definitely put in more of an effort to make it happen if i know it wont be in vain :))

Thats all from me for today :3 see ya next time

Alice Anne Graham-Montgomery, Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos and Countess Egerton of Tatton (1901). Sir Francis Bernard (Frank) Dicksee (English, 1853-1928). Oil on canvas. Tatton Park.

The portrait demonstrates Lady Alice’s elegance and poise but also her love of finery and, of course, her impeccable taste and affluence. She marks the place in the book that she had been reading. She is shown wearing a luxurious gold brocade dress which shimmers in the afternoon sunshine. She rests upon ermine robes and an intricately woven tapestry provides the backdrop. Lady Alice’s dress shows the under-dress with its plain bottom and Empire bodice and sleeves. She wears a black ribbon close to her heart, perhaps in remembrance of her first husband, the late Duke of Buckingham. Her hands face outwards, her long elegant fingers and pale skin the perfect backdrop for showing off her two rings. A diamond encrusted tiara and pearl necklace and earrings complete her look.

A Vikings' Battlecry

Up onto the overturned keel. Clamber, with a heart of steel. Cold is the ocean's spray and your death is on its way. With maidens you have had your way Each must die some day.

see the grey fruit moon by the willows where you clutched my youth; we were pretty damn young and unspent, making choices with our innocence.

The Sensitive Plant (Sir) Francis Bernard Dicksee pencil and watercolour N/D *
The Painting Depicts Percy Bysshe Shelley’s Poem of 1820: *
A Sensitive Plant in a garden grew, 
And the young winds fed it with silver dew, 
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light. 
And closed them beneath the kisses of Night.
