#taylor kare #jatp #julie and the phantoms #bobby shaw #art #mine #i draw things #I’m so proud of this #I’m so happy he saw it and shared it too #the reference photo was in black and white so like #the colours I’m especially proud of #i love the orangey red glow when sunlight hits the skin #and the tiny sliver of highlights around the edges of his lips #and on his Cupid’s bow AH I’m obsessed with the lighting there #also idk if tumblr will have preserved enough detail for you to see the KNITTED ROWS ON HIS TURTLENECK #and the shading there is so fucking good #for how dark the colour is #I’m so impressed i managed to make it look soft and round #yeah :’) this was a good piece #i love looking back at old drawings like this #i hope i can make more this year #but also I’m experimenting with simpler things that don’t require so much attention to detail #it’s very easy to get caught up in details #while impressive. it’s also unsustainable physically #ANYWAYS #this is fucking awesome and i love drawing
