minecraft boys - final and process (Patreon)

Hello sweet, stunning, and valued patrons.

Here are my final drawings of georgenotfound and sapnap in all their high-quality glory. I love so much a study right now. Nothing tickles my fancy like drawing from a reference. Nothing else feels quite as good. EFF drawing things that come from my brain. FORGET drawing backgrounds. You will be shocked to find me drawing so much as a body these days. Except idk that's untrue I just personally prefer a study-esque sort of moment these days.

Anyways. I drew these first in the notes app as sketches. So low-key and fun. Then I opened the screenshots up in fresco and cleaned them up and started colorin on top. The george one was quite easy. There are like three values on his face that I used. Most of his face is in the shadow so I just covered most of it in a darker color. Some may start midtone and add highlights or shadows but I don't work like that. Might've been easier though. It was quite easy really what else is there to say. I find it quite difficult to draw an eye in profile does anyone else ???? But I'm obsessed with drawing profiles so I have no choice. I am also decent at getting the color right for the whites of an eye. Thought I'd put that out there. BUT- almost all of the colors are very different from my much more washed-out reference. Focused more on values than color accuracy.

The hair gave me trouble!!! So hard to draw some hair but sometimes I'm just on a roll. Tried to channel whatever energy I was on when I drew my first drawing of Karl his hair was the best short hair I've ever done. Fell short on this one. Still good though!

For sapnap, his sketch was very wonky but in an acceptable and fun way that still captured his essence. I decided to not fix any of the wonk for him. The colors are moreso aligned with the reference in this one than the george one. Frankly I don't think I have ever made any effort to perfectly match the colors of a reference before so I don't even think I'm intentionally veering off. But I make the colors more exaggerated and saturated.

Anyways have an excellent day!! I am now starting to draft January sticker club for u all!
