You reblog a lot of Drarry art, do you have favourite artists to rec? I'm new to Drarry and looking for Drarry art blogs to follow. Thank you 🧡🧡
aaah thanks anon! what an interesting question! sorry it took me a while to answer your ask - i got lost down the rabbit hole of amazing drarry artists i follow and i wanted to do this ART REC justice. I've listed just a few favorites who have been active in the past year, but I'm sure there are many more I forgot to add here (everyone feel free to add to my list tysm!)
El's Drarry Artist Rec List!
(in no particular order, I love them all)
@quail-in-red
How can anyone see one of Quail's drawings and comics and not fall head over heels in love with their humor and style? Their art is so sweet and soft and funny. Run to check out their tropes mashup comics (illustration above taken from the one they did for my prompt 'not a date'+'first kiss') if you haven't already!
@littlewinnow
Another 2023 (and 2024!) favorite, Winnow draws the absolute cutest dad!Draco and Scorpius. Both are completely infatuated with Harry, of course, which makes for sweet and hilarious mini-comics. Their art never fails to put a huge, sappy smile on my face <3 (I also recommend their nsfw art blog, too. for... reasons 🥵)
@basiatlu
"Are you trying to murder me with this," I whisper as I look for the nearest fainting couch every time Basia posts a new art. I could write entire paragraphs about it. I love everything about their style, their ability to render yearning/fondness/lust, and their sense of anatomy (their Explicit art is mf fire). Basia's art is also very special to me: their Draco and Harry look like Basia reached into my brain and drew them exactly as I imagine them, pointy and messy and expressive and so, so into each other. WHere's that fainting couch when you need it??
@getawayfox
I've been following El's art since they posted their first nsfw art on AO3, and I've adored everything they made since then. Just look at their Draco. Look at him. El draws the most exquisite details, with a use of color to die for. I'm always looking forward to what they'll post next!
@longdaytogo
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I'm just gonna leave this art here to save everyone from an embarrassingly long, gushing paragraph about why longdaytogo's art is so amazing. They just draw the sexiest, most beautiful Draco and Harry, they don't even need to show much (just look at Draco's gaze!! and Harry's hand!!) for me to go weak in the knees.
@itsphantasmagoria
I love Phantasmagoria's art (the one I choose here made me gasp when I saw it). Their sense of color, light, movement, and drama is unparalleled. Their art feels like looking at a movie still, if that makes sense? So much storytelling packed in each beautiful image.
@bluebutter-art
I'm a long-standing fan of Blue's art, and seeing their art on my dash (be it HP, Capri, or other fandoms) is always a joy. They have such a gentle touch with lines and colors, their art gives me the same warm, happy, content feeling that I get reading the best of Saras Girl's fics.
@maesterchill
Who's a brilliant writer in addition to being an incredible artist? Maesterchill, that's who. Another artist and friend who I've followed for many years, Maesterchill never ceazes to take my breath away with the heights of their talent. Their latest nsfw Drarry art was absolute fire, as are their fics and poems.
@cheriecherishchen
Let's take a moment to celebrate a quiet artist who creates incredible cover art for their favorite fics. I discovered Cherie's covers when they made a cover for one of my fics (see excerpt above). They make cover art for a lot of Drarry fanfics using stock photos and a talent for visual design. I love how creativity in this fandom takes so many forms!
@fantalfart
Fantalf's art is so soft and gorgeous. I love seeing it on my dash (just look at the example above!) and when they participate in fests. Their most recent comic was simply stunning, with a masterful use of black-and-white and color panels to support their storytelling.
@drarrydoodles
A unique, gorgeous style, a use of color and shadow that reminds me of oil paintings and makes me want to stare at each of their arts for long, awestruck minutes. They don't post a ton of art but when they do, holy fuck I need to lie down. They also reblog a lot of other artists, which is really cool if you're looking for more artists to follow.
Here were a few of my favorite 2023 artists!! Go give them lots of love (and feel free to add you own faves to my (incomplete) list!

You’re walking up to Levi, catching him as he hands a swirled lollipop to the last child on line. You see him take a pause for a short moment, staring at the lollipop with a small frown as if he’s remembering something. He briefly closes his eyes, lamenting in whatever memory is in his head before opening them and giving the excited child the treat. For anyone else, this doesn’t mean anything. But you know Levi, and he’s had moments like these before, when anything in his environment triggers a memory. He wears the same pained expression every time, and every time you feel your heart ache.
“Hey.” You say softly with a small smile as you approach him, gently placing your hand on his forearm.
He looks up at you, his eyes sad and childlike for a moment before he answers. “Hey.” He sighs.
You hate seeing him like this. “You know….they’re probably making fun of you right now.” You tease, trying to make him feel better.
You watch Levi’s eyebrows knit together out of confusion.
“Hange would never let you live this down.” You clarify for him, referring to the fact that he was giving out candy.
Levi immediately rolls his eyes but you see a ghost of a smile on his lips. It doesn’t last long. “Good ol four eyes…” You hear him say quietly, looking straight ahead as his features soften at the thought of them.
You move your hand from the loose grip on his arm to his shoulder before leaning down to mumble into his hair. “I miss them too.”
You feel Levi’s hand move over to where your hand is resting on his shoulder, his two fingers securing your hold on him. His touch is gentle but firm. He doesn’t say anything but he doesn’t have to. He lets out a small hum of approval, briefly closing his eyes at the feeling of comfort you bring him.
You can’t bring back his fallen comrades; you can’t replace them either. You know you can’t fill that hole. However, that doesn’t stop you from pouring love into it.
