I've looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottles always dry
But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

digital painting, 30+ hours - drawing video under the cut
so this was another attempt at stretching myself beyond what i feel like i can do comfortably. i can't draw without references and generally i just draw scenes from whatever source media, note for note.
when i was listening to this song a bit ago, i had this idea of the boys slow dancing to this song all sweaty and tired after a hunt in some dingy bar. made me think of a scene from euphoria, s2e3 in a flashback with two young men who dance and kiss in a gay bar. the bar was exactly the kind of thing i wanted. i wasted hours trying to find other pictures to use as reference instead but i ended up going with the euphoria scene.
i'd seen quite a lot of gifs from this entertainment weekly photoshoot and there were some really nice moments between jared and jensen that i thought i could tinker with a little to make sam and dean and a slow dance/hug/shuffle
so i needed to change lighting, clothing, accessories, some of the background items.. definitely outside of my abilities generally but trying to push myself. kinda got lost in the sauce of the background and melding the people into the background i'm still not sure really worked. i'm sure it's the lighting letting me down. i tried though and now i wanna shove the painting out of my car and drive off
I want to thank you for everyone who commissioned me and who helped me reach my goal in earning for my very own drawing tablet. Gosh you guys are awesome and I love ya’ll.
All of you were very kind and generous, you have no Idea how happy and grateful I am for those who went out of their way to help me.
And of course the very first thing I drew is our favorite big boi, Orgill and his mother, using the tablet. And yeah I need to practice using it lol, but I’m excited.
No amount of thank you’s will show how grateful I am, its just... just awesome that you helped an artist like me and be given a chance to improve on my skills.
I had a bit of trouble trying to make this one actually interesting. I draw myself quite a lot, so I wanted it to actually say something about me at the same time... This is what I ended up with!
Just started using my new (and first) drawing tablet—the xp pen artist pro 16 gen 2–and wow I feel like a pro 😭 My skills are not pro level but it feels so different from using my sister’s iPad Pro 9.7. I like using the shortcut remote they included and while using a non touch screen took a bit to get used to, I think I’m more comfortable with it. Also a Little sneak peak at my Pomu Rainpuff drawing (and my VERY bad and slightly rushed mannequin 😂 honestly my mannequins suck but they get me to draw the character correctly so does it really matter if it looks like a kid drew it?
GUESS WHO GOT A TABLET FINALLY!!!!!?!!?!??!? THIS MUPPET!!!!!!
This does not mean I’m stopping traditional or free art, but it DOES mean I’m eventually going to do commissions and Fancy Stuff!
After I figure out Literally Everything about working with this, including uploading from my computer for once!
