WIP Wednesdayyy

They are both terrible at this but somehow work it out

Last WIP shot time was of stiles, this time you get a derek (:

If you ever catch me drawing, 9/10 times i'll be drawing characters making moon eyes at each other / in a bed / looking sleepy (or in this case, all 3) Listen, make the content you want to see in the world right?

Hello~ I am late to the party but for the Artist's Asks, 3, 4 and 14 :D

Hi Ella! o/ <3 Never too late, thanks for sending them ♥︎ Artist ask game

3. your favorite piece(s)?

The piece I did for Actions Speak Louder than Words still holds such a special place in my heart, being the primary drive for starting to draw the boys - the rough sketch for this was the first teen wolf fanart I'd done in more than 10 years! Also my first time drawing Derek ever haha. It took a lot of practising especially Stiles before i was able to finish it, but for the better part of a month I'd keep going back and working on it bit by bit.

The Heart Boner drawing gets a special mention just because it went from idea to finished drawing in just over an hour (the song came on and i put it on repeat until i finished) and perfectly encapsulates the kind of intense focus I've been enjoying since mid-december haha. It's also just the right amount of silly and tooth-rotting cute for me!

4. piece you wish got more love?

Honestly, none - I'm still completely taken aback at the response to everything, I was expecting maybe 5 people to interact! If you've ever reblogged more than 1 of my drawings with a comment in the tags, you best bet I recognize your handle when it happens, I get so excited every time LOL

14. whats your favorite thing about drawing?

There's the fact that I get to create whatever silly little thought comes across my mind, however niche - sort of in extension of that I love that drawing is for me, with no outside expectations or deadlines. I get to have this one thing that is subject only to my own whims: whether completely redo a piece, leave it for a month and then return, even just abandon it - I am free to do so. I can choose only to draw things that make me happy and that is amazing! It's really nice to have a hobby that's completely separate from my professional life - although it did come in handy for some very over-the-top diagrams for a couple exams, especially neuroanatomy lol

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!)

Legit no lie I've been meaning to ask if you'd be up for an art trade, bc i would love to see something from B99 or it's alive from you AND I WAKE UP ON A MONDAY MORNING TO THIS???

the excellent choice in episode (the camping series is ICONIC, huge agree with the 1:1 derek and stiles camping vibes), the timing of the shots, the expressions! the way you did a semi-opaque layer over the plaid in the screenshot?? huge brain

I was inspired to rewatch It’s Alive with Brad bc of @melioristicbeast and their wonderful redraws bc it’s been a while and omg every camping episode is EXACTLY how I envision how Stiles and Derek camping together would go lol

anyways

*lovingly leaves this on your doorstep and runs back into the wilderness from whence I came*

A silly little warmup for a silly little friday [:

i have no context, feel free to provide your own lol

“Sorry,” Stiles said, unsure of why he was apologizing. “I’ve never heard that song before. Did you write it?”  Derek looked uncomfortable, maybe a touch embarrassed, which was answer enough. “It’s good. I like it. It’s calming.”  The small smile he got in response melted his heart a little bit. Fucking hell, he was so gone for this asshole. Stiles didn’t know what he was going to do. He wished he’d never realized how much he loved him. Wished he’d just continued to think they were best friends and nothing more. It was slowly going to kill him being so close, and yet so fucking far. Clearing his throat, he brought the book back up to continue reading, muttering that Derek should keep playing. He did, his fingers plucking gently at the strings, filling the loft with soft music. It really was calming, and soothing. Stiles really liked it. He liked it even more when he realized Derek could honestly express himself with the guitar. It still wasn’t a voice, but it was something, at least. 

Actions Speak Louder than Words (ch18) by @isthatbloodonhisshirt

This fic is what spurred me to start doing sterek fanart back in the beginning of december - magic!stiles, cursed!derek, stiles/jackson terrifying everyone else as friends - an incredible 430K story with a completely endearing slow-burn and slowly unfolding exploration of the characters and their relationship, made complete with the perfect bow of cursed-mute-Derek because 'Derek's eyebrows have a language of their own but only Stiles is fluent' is my favorite and this author does it SO well. And gives Derek a guitar. Derek plays a guitar!!

Ella, consider this my loveletter to your works - they all, this one in particular, buoyed me through a tough time in my life and brought me back to a love of drawing that I haven't had in years and a fandom that has been so generous in their support of my silly art. Thank you for sharing your works!

And a huge thank you to everyone's support so far - the sweet comments in replies, the unhinged all-caps tags, yes-and'ing my silly ideas and headcanons, i'm just over here kicking my feet and giggling and definitely not getting teary-eyed over it no siree no lacrimal action happening here

What was my plan for the day: a quick warmup and get some work done on a comic project

What ended up happening: mid-panel i remembered this image, the demons overtook me and suddenly it’s 10pm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Artist questions:

5, 6, 25

Artist ask game

5. how would you describe your art style?

Attempted to answer Ren here ♥︎ If anyone has a better suggestion for how to describe my style I'm all ears haha

6. favorite thing to draw?

It's a toss-up between hands and dynamic full-body poses! (:

25. what size canvas/paper do you use?

I usually start with the standard 'square' or A4 resolutions in procreate, so around 2000 pixels for the shortest width. Drew in paint tool sai for years and picked up a terrible habit of working on small canvases because the texture of the brushes didn't scale well. So until relatively recently i worked on like 400x600 pixel canvases LOL

Now with updated info courtesy of @occultdaddy!

The funny thing is that the audio is actually not Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz. It's a piano rendition of Final Savage Sister Flandre S (or Last Brutal Sister Flandre S) which is a remix of "U.N. Owen was her?" from Touhou. they've been mixed up due to a mistake from a person uploading the remix to youtube. And yes Stiles would totally listen to it... and probably give the same info-dump I just did about it. srry :P (the actual Death Waltz is a lil less enjoyable to listen to lol)

Here's what an attempt to play the sheet music in the panel actually sounds like (starts around 3:50) ((i hope i got it right this time hahaha))

Thanks for sharing your knowledge dude! Hate to spread a misconception so I appreciate the heads up (:

So while I know Stiles canonically is probably a classic rock guy going by his shirts (although you cannot tell me the kid doesn't jam out to lady gaga's the fame monster), are you really in a fandom unless you project aspects of yourself onto characters?

Specifically an unhinged case of 'will listen to absolutely anything' taste in music - I'm the 'never pass the AUX cord' in my friend group.

The song in question (that i had on repeat enough one year that it was on my spotify wrapped) :

I just quite like the idea of Stiles zoning out to some strange beats :)
