Hor is madly in love and terrible at hiding it (Ric doesn’t see it because he’s an oblivious fool) Rics face is my fav thing in this though, he’s exhausted
I had a lot of fun trying to make them look a bit older, I’m sure I can improve though and I’d love to draw them more wrinkled up next time! I looked at references for wrinkled bodies and all that but quite a bit was kinda just done by feel and what felt right. Definitely something to focus on for me!! I have a sketch from ages ago with an older Ric I’m hoping to get to soon :3c
I’d intended to finish this sooner but I had a bad case of the ‘can’t sit still’ bug, so instead I painted a cabinet and bothered my partner a bunch.
Anyway, I hope you like it, doing greenery like this always seems SO intimidating, because it’s hard to know where to start. But every time, it turns out it’s very methodical. There’s steps in layers, and as long as you follow these steps it should turn out fine! And inevitably it did, hooray
Please enjoy the boys, I love them lots ♥️

Absolutely!! Exactly this, there’s often this hump before starting, trying to remember exactly how you did it in the past. Half the struggle is simply making a start, it’ll come back to me as I go along
2022-06-29 17:38:17 +0000 UTCThank you!!! 💘
2022-06-29 17:37:19 +0000 UTCI’ll try and expand a little more on my process!! Altho I’m unsure of what I’ve already said previously so sorry if I repeat myself 😩
2022-06-29 17:37:06 +0000 UTCI’m glad you think so!!! I love exploring Hor’s many icky emotions, opens him up and makes me so much more interested in painting him
2022-06-29 17:36:23 +0000 UTCI’ve been learning how to study art more recently, it’s amazing how much of it is methodical until it just becomes instinct :D

2022-06-27 19:52:18 +0000 UTCIdk how long I‘ve been staring at this, but I sure know your art belongs in a museum
2022-06-27 17:41:07 +0000 UTC“Bothered my partner a bunch” 😂 thanks for talking about painting plants! I’d love to hear more about your approach sometime. ❤️
2022-06-27 16:34:01 +0000 UTCThis man is so in love no matter who he's with. A weepy, romantic man. It's so endearing ♡

2022-06-27 16:32:30 +0000 UTCThank you, Rics expression was a lot of fun to try and get right 💘 and yea totally true! I didn’t want to over do it with the wrinkles yet as this was kind of a try out, but maybe I’ll try adding a bit more next time!
2022-06-27 16:31:19 +0000 UTCThe greenery turned out gorgeous! Love all the little details and their expressions. And bodies do age differently so its probably hard to have a perfect way of doing it. I hope you find something that works for you.
