Art: Surprise (PatD, Brendon/Spencer, PG)

[aredblush]

Title: Surprise
Pairing/Rating: Brendon/Spencer, PG.
Warnings: half-nakedness of the Spencer variety (it's totally something I would want to be warned about).
Disclaimer: We all know that Brendon and Spencer's kitchen does not look like this one...
Notes: Drawn for one of my help_haiti winners. saba1789 asked me to draw her the artwork for a ficlet she wrote a while ago. That story is completely adorable and I just hope I did it justice :)

Lovely, bb. Look at Spencer with his drumsticks. <3

They are his weapons of choice ;)
Thank you bb!

I know I should be concentrating on the half-naked Spencer but ZOMG THAT KITCHEN IS AWESOME! I want one like that, and your A++ background drawing skills as well! :D

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

That's totally my future kitchen! It has a RED WALL!!! My background drawing skills are all due to my three years of Architecture at art school. This drawing made me miss that period so much. (also, I used to be way better and I need to start practicing again D:)
Thank you bb ♥

Eheh, thank you bb! I want I kitchen like that! RED WALL! BLACK TILES! *swoons*

[unaccompanied-g.livejournal.com]

This is so, so cute. Tiny Brendon! Cleaning up the mess! Spencer and his drumsticks!

Plus, haha, you actually draw backgrounds! Pretty backgrounds! I salute you, I am too lazy to draw them. ;)

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Thank you bb! ♥

I hate backgrounds with a passion, but everytime I don't draw one I hear my old Art professor in my head screaming "What is this? Why are they floating in blank space? DO THEY LIVE IN THE MATRIX?!" and then I'm like "ok, ok!!! DRAWING BACKGROUND NOW!!!"

[coreopsis.livejournal.com]

SO CUTE. I love Spencer's hands on his hips and the drum sticks. hee! Love all the little details too, like the dishes in the cabinet and the sliver of skin where Brendon's shirt rides up. ♥

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Thank you ♥ I really liked drawing all the details :)

[chalcopyrite.livejournal.com]

This is so cute! Tiny little Bden! Spencer's knees! I love the details, and how light it all looks. Also I want to pat Brendon on the head and tell him it's OK.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it ♥

[wethepainted.livejournal.com]

Darling, this is the CUTEST! Just gosh, the background is fantastic! My face looks like this *_____* when I look at the cupboards and Spencer with his hands on his hips. I should learn this magical skill of drawing backgrounds.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Merci cherie :D I'm pretty happy with how it came out.
And, sweetie, your backgrounds make mine weap, ok? That piece you did for Christmas puts this one to shame!

[wethepainted.livejournal.com]

You can't even compare the two! Here you have this beautiful piece with precise lines and actual perspective and play of light, while my backgrounds are mostly flat and also, always drawn separately (not to say mine are bad, because I do think I'm getting better at them).

I'm actually struggling with the backgrounds for the help_haiti pieces at the moment, because I have to draw it all on the same paper. Impossible! I like to experiment and then choose the best results and use the cut-and-glue method.

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. I do think my skills with backgrounds are pure leftover from 5 years of Architecture (you should see the things I did back in the day. I'm completely out of practice!)

Usually, I sketch the background quickly, just to get a feel of the space, then I concentrate on the characters and draw them neatly. After that, I work on the actual background. You could always make a collage, though ;)

(I sent my second -and last- haiti piece this morning \o/ It came out supercute and I'm super proud of myself because drawing kisses is effing hard but I did it anyway omg! Do boy-kisses bring the rating up to R? It'd be my first over-PG if it does! *is overly excited*)

[wethepainted.livejournal.com]

That explains how good the room looks. I didn't know you've studied Architecture! No wait, now that I think about it you might have mentioned it in a post somewhere where most of the photos you had taken were of buildings. :D

Makes sense. I start with the character; first drawing the head, the hair, the face and then sketching as much of the body as it needs. So far I've only drawn backgrounds for the pieces that are for something other than just my own fun, but I'm trying to draw them more this year. Practise makes perfect, they say. You know, the collage idea is actually a good one. I'll have to see if that would work.

That is awesome! \o/ I can't wait to see it!! I guess it depends on the body language and the intensity of the kiss, and if they're fully-clothed or not? YAY all the same!
I'm almost ashamed by how slowly I'm working on mine. But at the same time I know that I'm not the fastest artist anyway, and this is how I usually work when I want the outcome to be extra good, so I'm mostly trying to keep focused without rushing myself too much if that makes sense. (Huh, that last sentence came out oddly corny. I blame exams! *g*) I do have high hopes for sending both pieces out on Thursday though!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Ah ah! Yeah, it was the post with all those picture of London! (ngl, sometimes I go and look at that post again because, god, so much architectury goodness!) Anyway, yes, I studied architecture at art school. It was my favourite subject :)

I always try to do a very rough skecth that includes anything I want in the picture, and then start the srs bzns drawing. Backgrounds are admittedly the hardest part to work on. I find that drawing a very generic background and adding things in a second moment works best for me. Like, if I were to draw two people in a park, I'd make a sketch featuring two stick figures, some grass and a tree-shaped blob. Then I'd work on turning the stick figures into recognisable people; after that, I'd draw the grass and the tree. At this point, I'd add things like bushes and a monkeyframe in the distance and maybe draw a path in the grass and generally fill the space. This way you can work on the characters without worring about accidentally erasing the details around them, and at the same time, you'll be able to fill the drawing with details without cramming it.

Uh... it's just a close-up onf their faces... no nudity because I'm really uncomfortable drawing that level of intimacy /o\ (my brain is obviously a sad place). I'll have to ask my recipient if she's ok with me showing it on my lj :)
I'm sure you're doing a great job! I can't wait to see yours, too :D

[of-silverandsky.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I went back about 8 pages of my flist!

Aww poor little brendon. But at least he got a half naked spencer in front of him :3

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

Ahahah! I always forget to cross-post /o\

Right? If I were him, I'd make a mess every single day....

[of-silverandsky.livejournal.com]

Oh, is it an excuse to kneel down before him?

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

My plan is totally flawless >:)

[of-silverandsky.livejournal.com]

Yus. I agree. And Brendon should be doing that always too!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

I see our brains are on the same wavelenght!

[of-silverandsky.livejournal.com]

Why, yes, it is the cult that made our brain in sync!

[aredblush.livejournal.com]

CULT \o/
