5. How Would You Describe Your Art Style?

Was inspired by Puzzle pieces by @isthatbloodonhisshirt to draw a snowy landscape!

The Hales own and operate a ski resort, the Beacon Hills teens all go on a vacation there but since Stiles has a torn ACL he ends up spending more time with a certain grumpy employee while his friends go on the slopes ;)

Another huge recommendation - I'm a sucker for domestic scenes, 'you're intruiging in a way I can't put my finger on', and who doesn't love a lil' 'sharing body heat to stave off hypothermia'. The way this author writes dialogue and describes body language especially makes all their works a treat to read!

(Also - I have more free time on my hands than expected the next while which i intend to fill out with working out and drawing, so feel free to shoot me a request (: and thank you for all the love on my art so far!)

Engaging in the time-honored tradition of drawing characters in your own clothes - workout edition :] running and powerlifting are my go-to activities

What I drew Derek in is probably the only matchy workout clothes I own, I usually go for comfort lol

And I really just want- oh god oh god oh cut, cut Derek! Derek: What happened, Stiles? Stiles: Oh it's a fucking tragedy over here

Listen brad has more golden retriever energy compared to stiles’s feral cat vibes - but late 20s/early 30s stiles with the chaos, the tangents, the interactions with the rest of the staff, calling his editor all kinds of variations of his name/nicknames, derek with the sass in the edit notes - you see the vision

(screenshots from 1st ep of It's Alive with Brad Leone - an iconic opening)

My 'the way Derek wears his sleeves long is giving babygirl vibes' friend kept showing me Ariana Grande pictures and saying 'this but Derek' and so of course I had to comply for purely selfless reasons :)

Continuing my Derek in soft sweaters crusade

And you're fire, but sweet hot coals beneath my feet warm blood, body and I lost it when you found me

This song always gets me in a soft mood (even more than usual, if possible) tried sth new with the hands, vaguely inspired by egon schiele

What brush do you use for your linework? I love your art 💚💚💚

Thank you! ♥ I primarily work in Procreate and usually use Tara's Oval Sketch NK for lines - it's a little pricey at $10, but I had shopped around a lot to find something that worked well for me and it's been worth the purchase for me. I use it for shading as well, I'd say 80% of a drawing is done with that - I'm especially fond of tilting the pen and getting some texture that way.

I always turn stabilization completely off for any brush I'm using, as I prefer to have more control over the flow : >

My other go-to's for shading is procreate's own Soft Brush (airbrush), Spectra and Round Brush (painting) - Spectra is really good for adding some texture :)

Wanted a cover for my 'I could see Stiles listen to this' playlist and since it can't be a gif - in which case it would have been this one:

- second best was a redraw of the lofi girl although the playlist is probably as far from lofi as you can get LOL

Link to playlist under the cut for those curious:

I've listed the ones I've done art for at the beginning but from there on I've just been adding whenever I came across something from my own liked songs that I could see stiles jam out to. Best on shuffle!

It ended up with so many of my hype favorites hahaha. if you put this on, say 'actually, what would realistically happen in this scenario is...' in the mirror 3 times and open a can of coke, you'll summon a ghostly apparition of me that'll poorly but enthusiastically dance in your kitchen.

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

I feel like this drawing possessed me, sat me down and painted itself

The irony in that the primary idea was to focus on the arms and give stiles a tattoo but i couldn't get it to work with the limited colorpalette - altered closeup with the tattoo included under the cut! [find my stuff on Redbubble!]

Used mare.blk's tattoo style because if hand tattoos weren't a no-go in my chosen profession, I would get one by them done in a heartbeat. So stiles gets one instead lol Also used a 3D program to figure out the pose and angles - the canon height difference is there but bc derek's leaning it looks like stiles is taller which i'm not mad about I'll get around to drawing more derek initiating things soon, apparently i have a lot of stiles taking action to get out of my system ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
