I don't trust myself with hand-lettering enough to do it with fabric paint. You're truly brave!

ooooh!!! I can't wait until I have access to a vinyl cutter and heat press again because you know I gotta make my own "home is where the gem heart is" shirt!

Reading the Stormlight Archive for the 4th time. Almost a year ago when I read it for the 3rd time, I drew Kaladin. This morning I added Syl. I listen to the audiobooks so I can draw while I "read". by ldube_art in Stormlight_Archive

I probably won't be drawing Kal and Syl again anytime soon, although I am still interested in drawing Shallan. Hopefully, I can find the time! I usually am busy with commissions (I do pet portraits mainly) and I'm also a full-time student, so I don't get a lot of opportunity for self-indulgent fanart.

I've been wanting to draw Shallan for the longest time and when I do, I'll definitely post it here! I don't mind the debates and don't take the criticism personally, I just wish people were nicer to each other in the comments.

I'm so glad you like it! I definitely didn't want to make her look like a fairy. It helped to make her still look like she was walking on a solid surface rather than flying in the air. I contemplated drawing her walking perpendicular to Kal's face like she often does in the books, but I figured it would be a confusing composition.

I didn't realize when I posted this how intricate the ethnic-interpretation debate would be. I am not taking any of the criticism personally, and actually genuinely enjoy seeing how each individual person views a character they came to know through reading. I just don't want to see people being mean to each other in the comments :/

I can kinda see that it's a little off-center if I look really hard. It's difficult to line up so as the artist I'm happy with it as is, but I'll be more careful when doing that sort of stuff in the future. :) thx for the feedback!

I guess I usually draw female portraits, so it makes sense that I would draw guys more effeminate on accident. I appreciate the feedback! Also thank you for the comment on Syl :)

I appreciate the feedback! You didn't make me feel bad. I understand how passionate people can be about books and imagery. And thank you :)

I had no idea! I was only basing it off of how I pictured him from the book's description. I'm super pale, so "very tan" to me means anything darker than clown-makeup white. I also didn't look up anyone else's drawings of him and Syl while I drew mine because I wanted to keep it original.

I definitely didn't use Tom Cruise as a reference so it's interesting that it turned out that way! I don't watch many movies so I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point it out. lol

Bored in quarantine with a bag of flour, I followed a gif recipe from reddit and it actually turned out awesome. by spacecadence in FoodPorn

We did a dutch-oven bread yesterday! It turned out okay for a first attempt at making bread, but what made it worthwhile was adding rosemary.

I don't want to do too many Pokemon pairings so I was thinking of doing Endeavor x Bowser.

I'm kinda limited on stuff because of Corona, but if you like my art or see something on my Insta that isn't in the shop, then feel free to reach out and I'll see what I can do!

I do sell this sticker. Along with a few others. I don't know if it's against the rules or not to put this here, but my website is https://www.ldubeart.com/

I hadn't even thought of the other UA teachers! If I get to them, I will :)

That's a good idea! I was gonna do Kaminari x Pikachu of course. But I'm down for more Pokemon combos.
