Friday Night 🌧️ (Patreon)

Nothing beats the feeling of drawing in the evening (not too late because we all love a good healthy bedtime) while it's raining cats and dogs outside! It's just the perfect setting to draw a raining day as well.

It's been a while since we've seen Irena and Yin, and given the overwhelming votes that went to them, it's only right that we do a new set on them! This time rather than a linear sequence of events, I decided to draw more of a collage of cool shots that one might extract from a hypothetical movie of these two.

Saying this with utmost caution, I do feel my ability to grasp perspective is improving a little bit at a time (even now) - I had imagined the first piece requiring much more time spent in frustration than it actually took. Instead I was able to work in anatomy and overlaps of the foreshortened portions fairly smoothly, which is always a pleasant surprise!

The duo piece was also a challenge - On one hand many of us know this pose as a little bit of a meme, but on the other hand, I did want to see if I could use it to create a serious scene. It worked out better than expected too!

Lastly, Irena kneeling in the rain had to be the hardest piece to draw, especially given that we don't even see her face. How the hair flows at this very rarely seen angle/pose is something that I had to mostly figure out from scratch this time, despite kneeling references being aplenty!

I'm looking forward to sharing a lot more about the process with you guys in the upcoming process walkthrough videos as always!

Thank you so much for support here even through these busy months ♥ And of course, I'd love to hear what you think about these scenes!
