June goodie bag print - Strawberry King (Patreon)

Hi everyone! The past few days have been a total temperature hell in here. My fan has been on day and night just to keep me somewhat operational. Thankfully today we got some rain and the temperature dropped just a bit and enough so I could finish June's print! Here's a little process I took some photos of~

I'm really happy with how this piece came out. Originally I was thinking I'll go with a different composition (shown in the previous post), but i realized that the positioning of Patrick's body would be too similar to the sticker in the same goodie bag. A simple portrait was something really fun and refreshing after breaking my brain over some more complex poses. What I paid attention to when drawing this piece was mostly the framing of the silhouette. Drawing so much flora is truly time consuming but really satisfying in the end. I'd love to work with some more floral designs in the future~Here's the piece freshly after a scan clean up:

And here's right after adding a bit f shading:

Thank you so much for your ongoing support! It is truly a blessing to be able to draw my characters for a living. I'm looking forward to the July and the new theme you'll pick for the goodie bags~ If you have any topics you'd like me to add to the polls feel free to put them in the comments!Talk to you soon!
