š Day 1 ā autumn š
Shame on me that I almost don't draw Sam.
I am not going to do the whole Suptober, but I've got ideas for some days and I really want some activity, so I'll try.
š©ø Day 5 ā scars š©ø
My time management is a whole mess...
Sometimes I like drawing character's bodies with scars even if they're random. And if you think I did this only to draw Dean's boobs... well... maybe...
Damn...I miss him very much and now weāve lost Belphegor as well.
My proportions are a bit off but Iām happy with how this turned out.
Iām rewatching Supernatural and I must say that I forgot how painful Bobbyās death is.Ā
Donāt You Cry No More *badass guitar solo ensues*
This took about two hours, but I think I can confidently say it was worth it!
Even the Righteous Man cries sometimes,
Usually itās when he thinks no one else sees
But sometimes the dam gets broken,
One way or another.
The Angel always sees his tears,
Helpless, as humanity is the one wound he canāt fix.
He does his best, but he knows better.
Far better.
But still the Angel tries to heal the Righteous Man
For faith, maybe, for love.
And yet still the Righteous Man cries,
For a life he could never have and a life he feels he doesnāt deserve.
Happy Destiel Pride!! š

If you know me irl, we are NEVER discussing this.
Anyway Supernatural has 100% altered my brain chemistry. Also, I feel like Dean had hair that sort of looked like Samās when he was in his late teens, sue me.
*gestures frantically* Listen, hear me out- no really, listen, alright. Look, Iām no genius, but like, you know that one ep of Spn with the magicians and the PT Barnum book or whatever?? How in the name of Chuck did they miss the opportunity to idk, put the boys in slutty magician outfits and maybe call Dean āMagic Mikeā and make him wear eyeliner????????? Because??? Hello??
Okay Iām done now AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Anyways I am in the middle of a bit of a style flux- I usually draw almost-realism and portraits and itās a little hard maintaining those aspects when a face is tiny but Iām getting there!!
Hope Iām not the only one who thinks this wouldāve been a good idea!!
āHe wouldnāt be proud of me.ā
Ā”WARNING!: VERY long post ahead!
I was recently asked to do a tutorial for two friends, and I figured Iād share it here! Itās on how I personally use markers and colored pencils for portraits, so if thatās something youāre interested in then this is for you!
I must preface by saying this is my first tutorial/guide thingy and Iām no professional, but hopefully it helps some! This is only one way of going about it, donāt worry if itās not your way!
Without further ado, letās do this! And remember: Trust the process!!!
First, the angelic (š) reference:
Now, we all see tones differently. I also am using the Art Alternatives Portrait Set, which is limited in tones. So, this wonāt be completely picture accurate- which is okay! Essence over accuracy!
Alright! Here we go!
Step One: the sketch!
Typically I do the sketch in the personās undertone, usually pinks or purples. However, for whatever reason I was compelled to try blue on this one, and hey- what is art if not random attempts at creating beauty?
And just like the color scheme, the sketch isnāt 100% accurate. But again, itās all good!
But anyways, the reason I do my sketches in colored pencil is because it doesnāt smudge like graphite does, and it actually blends into the marker. I feel itās smoother, and it provides some undertones as you start layering with marker.
Step Two: base tones
This is where you wonder if you just destroyed the entire drawing. I promise you that you didnāt! Basically what I do here is I put pinks down wherever I see pinks in the reference and lay down where the skin is the darkest. I find that it blends better when itās underneath the base layer.
Step Three: the base layer
Here, all you do is throw down the skintone over the entirety of where it goes, in this case the face. I typically try to leave out highlights, but sometimes the marker bleeds and covers things I didnāt ask it to. In this case, that was the eyes. Oh well!
One thing to notice here is how you can still see the colored pencil beneath the sketch. Thatās a very useful guide for when you begin detailing.
Step 3.5: uh
This isnāt necessarily a marker step, itās just me letting the ink dry and working on other spots with pen and colored pencil. Also, I do like to go over the pink areas a few times to make them less stark.
Step Four: beginning detailing
Now, black is a tricky color on the face, because it can either smudge on everything and turn it gray, or work really well. I used a colored pencil here, and began going over the blue colored pencil spots and lines that were visible under the marked, which started to bring out his face. I also covered the highlight on the nose that had been left alone thus far.
Step Five: THEā¢ļø details
If thereās anything Iāve learned in my five years of drawing, itās that the highlights and darkest points are what really make the piece. Pure white, bright highlights (like the ones in the eyes) are awesome, but lately I like smudging them out a little bit so that theyāre gentler.
If thereās anything you want to hit, itās the whites of the eyes with the white gel pen, and the pupils + nostrils with the black fineliner.
I have shaky hands, but I use them to my advantage in stippling the darkest part of the eyebrows and in the line of the lips with the fineliner- it just adds a little bit more depth :)
Hair is its own thing, I just sort of wing it. Black hair especially is not the easiest for me, just because I find it difficult to bring out the shades in it. Itās not done at this step as I was trying to figure out how I was going to finish it.
I will also blend things out with both the skintone marker and a pink colored pencil just to get stuff to be smoother. If youāre going for semi realism/realism like me, I highly recommend taking a reddish brown to do some freckles/skin texture with. You canāt see it too much in this picture, and I didnāt want to overdo it since Cas/Misha doesnāt have that many freckles as far as I can see, but it does make a difference.
Step Six: everything else
I did the jacket in colored pencil as well as the fake id!
If you have any questions let me know, Iām happy to help!
Hope this is a decent guide :)
A little different than what I usually post, but I made this Dean Winchester Inspired charm bracelet! I think itās adorable.
They say the Fallen Angel was the most beautiful,
Graceful even in Disgrace.
And just as He modeled humans in His image,
Lucifer did the same.
One day you see @limbel ās (I hope you donāt mind the tag- I love your art!!) deanvictor art and the next you have a whole auā¦ lifeās funny like that. Anyways I love my glittery bi flag gel pens so much š
So, I joined my first bang with @crack-in-the-chassis ! The road so far had been bumpy when I met @notreallyaroad, and yet, I couldnāt have gotten luckier. Youāve been an incredible partner and are an incredible writer, and Iām so, so incredibly thankful for you!
That being said, hereās the deal: I had pitched the idea of Dean getting the ending he deserved. Charlie had showed up in my asks box to let me know that he was my partner, and that he was apparently a āshit artist.ā His words, not mine, for the record: I donāt believe him š Anyway, he said he could do fanfic, and I was like HELL YEAH, becauseā¦ well, duh. Fanfic is awesome.
Anyways, I had showed him this piece to get us started:
And he essentially turned the letter into a whole ass fic, which once the link is ready I will be adding it here. Itās a fantastic fic, but let me warn you: donāt forget the tissues. Anyways, we were both struggling on if we somehow wanted to resurrect Cas or not. So, naturally, as decisive people do, we decided we would do two endings, one where our angel is alive and the other whereā¦ you know. To save you from further rambling, and at the risk of spoiling the fic, here they are:
This is the one where Cas died:
Ans of course, thereās this one, where Cas lives- and which is in one of my favorite styles Iāve devised thus far:
So yeah! Iād like to think we cooked! At least, the fic did- Iāve been having art block and all the things this last month so itās better I keep my opinions on my own art to myself š¤£
Anyways, please consider giving Charlieās awesome fic a read- it really is so beautifully written and perfectly reflects every character included, especially Dean.
Thanks again for saddling with me, partner. Hope to work together again someday!

Cas doodles!!
I love him so much...
Another Castiel doodle š¤
It's really hard to capture his beauty but I hope he's recognizable! This man is just so gorgeous
Castiel sketch ~ puppy eyes
I really love them - Cas was actually almost the first one I drew on my iPad
Also I don't think I've ever made so much fanart of a show
