  • Passive Aggression

    Stede’s face haha. I hate drawing his face; in the WIP below he looks like a demonic clown of nightmares, but my phone still picks up all three faces, which is pretty cool!

    I think it’s also the first time I’ve drawn three people in a single copy (I’ve done my own scribbles with more characters); it’s funny seeing this redrawn by others as just Stede and Ed but I think Abshir also deserves to be in the shot.

    Also, did I mention just how much clothing aristocrats wear? Stede’s costume here was insane in an amazing way, which I never noticed till I had to draw it.

  • At some point in a man’s life he has to face the music

    Stede is hard to draw! I tried my best and went too heavy on the shadows relative to the rest of him. I’m loving all this practice!

  • You make Stede happy

    I’m not as happy with this one as the Ed side, capturing Rhys’ likeness is much more difficult for me, but I did really want to draw both sides. I kind of rushed Ed’s hair too! There is such thing as hair fatigue XD

  • You think you’re cute

    Actually, I think I’m just so-so. But I’ve decided to carry myself like I’m cute.

    Lucius is amazing!

  • Penguin Island

    A photo dump of a trip to Penguin Island, a tiny little place off the coast of Rockingham!

    But first, had to fuel up at a local cafe which ended up being a good choice! Super tasty jaffle and nice coffee.

  • No more yummy lavender soap

    I am so bad at the digital stuff still. I mean my pencil work is still not where I want it to be, but the digital drawing from scratch is insane. It just doesn’t feel as tactile still. Also, the digital versions suffer the same issue with faces not being right as I do with pencil drawings. Sigh.

    But I will continue to practice aaaah.

    Did I mention how hard it is to draw frizzy wavy hair? I feel like i have to shake my hand all funny to achieve it XD

    Because who doesn’t love a good pirate love story XD
